After launching the first homer of his big-league career Sunday, White left the yard again with a solo shot in the fifth inning. Since debuting July 17, the 23-year-old has slashed .267/.295/.347 with two homers, two doubles, three RBI and 12 runs in 27 contests. White played third base Monday but has also seen action at first base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb).

Athletics' Tommy White: Hammers first big-league homer in win
Rotowire
White went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
White has gone 5-for-12 over his last four games. His long ball Sunday was the first of his major-league career. While White has mostly held his own in his first taste of the majors, he's likely to see only slightly more than a short-side platoon role. He's competing for time at first base with Jeff McNeil as well as being in a three-man battle at third with fellow right-handed hitters Zack Gelof and Max Muncy. Through his first 26 games, White is batting .265 with a .603 OPS, two RBI, 11 runs scored and two doubles.

Athletics' Tommy White: Exiting starting lineup
Rotowire
White is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Rays.
He had made 20 consecutive starts, but with Zack Gelof returning from the injured list, White's playing time against right-handers could dip moving forward. White has posted a meager .548 OPS with zero home runs, eight runs and one RBI in his first 21 games in the majors. The Athletics will deploy Gelof at third base and Jeff McNeil at first base Monday.

Athletics' Tommy White: Deposits four hits in win
Rotowire
White went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.
White was a hit machine, collecting four singles for the second time since being called up July 17. Through 10 games, the 23-year-old is slashing .359/.390/.410 in 41 plate appearances but has yet to record his first big-league RBI. With Zack Gelof (knee) and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) on the injured list, White appears to have a firm grip on a regular role at the hot corner.

Athletics' Tommy White: Settling into full-time role
Rotowire
White will start at third base and bat fifth In Sunday's game against the Twins.
White will remain in the lineup for a seventh straight game after going 7-for-23 (.304) with two walks and two runs over his previous six starts. He's expected to continue handling an everyday role at the hot corner until the Athletics get either Zack Gelof (knee) or Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) back from the injured list.

Athletics' Tommy White: Four knocks in Monday's win
Rotowire
White went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
This was White's first multi-hit effort, coming in his third career game. The infield prospect is getting a chance to play steadily while Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are out. White batted .303 with an .834 OPS over 55 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up coming out of the All-Star break. The Athletics' infield is a bit crowded when everyone's healthy, so it'll be up to White to force his way into the lineup on a consistent basis.

Athletics' Tommy White: Reaches base twice in first series
Rotowire
White went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.
White made his major-league debut in Friday's series opener, going 1-for-4 with a double. After being held out of the lineup for Saturday's 15-1 win, White re-entered the starting nine at first base Sunday and went hitless but drew his first major-league walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. White will likely continue to see work at both first base and third base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Athletics' Tommy White: Bound for big leagues
Rotowire
The Athletics selected White's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
White has quickly ascended the ranks of the Athletics' farm system since being drafted 40th overall in 2024, and he'll now get a chance to contribute for the big club after slashing .303/.345/.489 with nine homers, 47 RBI and 44 runs in 55 games at Las Vegas. The 23-year-old will help bolster the Athletics' corner-infield depth and could even make a handful of starts while both Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are on the injured list.
