Former Clemson Tiger returns to Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves on Friday recalled former Clemson standout Eli White from Triple-A Gwinnett.

White’s call-up came two days after he went 6 for 7 with two doubles and two home runs in a 21-6 Gwinnett rout of St. Paul on Wednesday in Minnesota. White became the first player in Gwinnett history (since 2009) to finish with six hits in one game. He had seven RBIs in the game.

His call-up by the Braves marks the fifth consecutive season that White will have spent time on an active big league roster. He made his major league debut for the Texas Rangers in 2020, appearing in 19 games. The 30-year-old White spent two more seasons with Texas before being traded to Atlanta in late 2022. He went 1-for-14 at the plate in six games with the Braves a season ago.

In 137 major league games, White is a career .179 batter with 20 extra base hits and 28 RBIs. He hit .294 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs in 53 games at Gwinnett this season.
