## Resource

Oakland Athletics are calling up 23-year-old infielder Tommy White for his major league debut this Friday against the Nationals—after a stellar Triple-A campaign where he hit .303 with 9 homers and 47 RBIs. A 41st-round draft pick, White’s elite plate discipline (under 15% K-rate) and strong performance vs. lefties (.375) make him a perfect fit as the A’s fill corner infield gaps with Nick Kurtz and Zack Gelof sidelined. He’ll start at first base and could move to third, while roster moves include activating Donovan Walton and sending Joey Meneses and Brian Serven back down. White, not yet on the 40-man roster, can claim a spot once Brent Rooker goes on the 60-day IL—joining a wave of top 2024 draft talent already in the majors.
