The Texas Rangers have placed outfielder Eli White on the injured list due to a fractured right wrist, the team announced today. To replace him on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled Leody Taveras from AAA Round Rock.
Very disappointing news for White, though not unexpected. White and Charlie Culberson collided in the outfield in the 11th inning on Sunday while pursuing a fly ball, and it seemed pretty clear that White thought he had broken something. Per Evan Grant, White will have no baseball activities for six weeks, which would mean he would be resuming baseball activities in late July, and possibly being able to return in late August or sometime in September.
