Evan White Stats

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is as healthy as he's ever been with spring training approaching. Meanwhile, infielder/outfielder Sam Haggerty (groin) should also be good to go for spring training. Reliever Andres Munoz (foot) is out of a walking boot and has started his throwing program after having foot surgery. White had sports-hernia surgery in 2022 and also deal with a hip injury, limiting him to just 107 plate appearances at Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old will need to stay healthy and produce in order to find regular at-bats at the major-league level in 2023. Haggerty will serve in a utility role yet again after hitting .256 with five homers, 23 RBI and 13 steals in 83 games. He's worth rostering in AL-only leagues for his speed. Munoz had a breakout season in 2022 and should serve as a top setup man ahead of closer Paul Sewald when he's healthy.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hernia) began a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday. He was diagnosed with a sports hernia during spring training and had surgery on March 30, which has prevented him from playing so far in 2022. The 26-year-old will have a lengthy rehab assignment because of how long he's been out, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a hasty return to the big leagues. White should see at least semi-regular at-bats between first base and designated hitter once he's activated from the 60-day injured list. In 84 games for Seattle the last two seasons, White has hit just .165/.235/.308 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI and 27 runs scored in 306 plate appearances.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hernia) underwent successful surgery to fix a sports hernia on Wednesday, but his timeline for a return is unknown. White was injured last Thursday and will begin the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list most likely. The 25-year-old made his major league debut in 2020 but hasn't been very good in 306 plate appearances, slashing .165/.235/.308 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI and 27 runs scored in 84 games for Seattle. With White out for the foreseeable future, Ty France will open the year as the Mariners everyday starting first baseman.
