US EditionMarlins pitching prospect Thomas White is expected to miss 3 to 4 weeks with a right oblique strain
White will miss the rest of spring training and likely start the season at Triple-A Jacksonville with a Grade 1 right oblique strain, delaying his MLB debut.
- On Thursday, Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White is expected to miss three to four weeks with a right oblique strain.
- Earlier this week, Thomas White made his MLB spring training debut and gave up two runs in one inning; the oblique muscle provides core stability and is vulnerable to strains from pitching and hitting.
- Among his credentials, White went 4-3 with a 2.31 ERA in 21 starts last season, striking out 145 and posting a 1.18 WHIP across three minor-league levels.
- As a result, Thomas White will miss the remainder of spring training games, realistically removing him from the opening day roster race and likely starting him at Triple-A Jacksonville with a rehab stint.
- Given his 2025 breakout, the organization’s Top 30 is expected next week, but White’s missed development time is an unfortunate setback.
