Los Angeles recalled White from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Thursday in Philadelphia, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
White will be the first pitcher on the mound rather than follow an opener, which was previously reported as a possibility. White hasn't tossed more than four innings in the majors this season but has the capacity to pitch deeper into games, as he matched his season high with five innings in his most recent outing for Triple-A one week ago. Exactly how deep the Dodgers expect him to go in this outing is not yet clear.
