One of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ prize picks in the 2021 amateur draft apparently won’t be suiting up any time soon.
Outfielder Lonnie White Jr., a standout two-sport athlete who spurned an offer to play wide receiver at Penn State after the Pirates selected him with the overall 64th pick in last summer’s draft, had been assigned to Bradenton of the Class A Florida State League but never saw game action this season before being placed on the seven-day injured list in mid-May.
But according to milb.com, the Marauders transferred White from the seven-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on May 31.
