Pretty sneaky, sis. White is able to be removed from the 40-man roster with the injury designation. That clears room for Kerry Carpenter, who was activated off the 60-day injured list Tuesday. White will have a chance — if healthy — to compete for a spot in the Detroit bullpen next year

Good news for the Tigers. White was dealing with this soreness over the past two weeks but will now be back on the mound shortly. The 25-year-old made 33 appearances for Detroit last season where he posted a 5.09 ERA with a 44/15 K/BB ratio.

Not great. White has been temporarily shut down from his throwing program after experiencing posterior elbow discomfort. It’s not the worst-case scenario as there should be some additional clarity on his status once he’s cleared to resume throwing. If he’s still experiencing discomfort or soreness at that point he’ll likely head for additional testing.

White heads back to the minors to open up a roster spot for pitching prospect Brenan Hanifee ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old right-hander has made 33 appearances (two starts) this season in the majors, compiling a lackluster 5.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 44/15 K/BB ratio across 40 2/3 innings of work.
