Atlanta re-signed White (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Analysis: White lost his spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster and was released last weekend, after he suffered a season-ending left shoulder injury earlier this month. By re-signing with Atlanta, White will have access to the organization's facilities and doctors while he completes his rehab for the shoulder injury. He'll likely revert to Triple-A Gwinnett's full-season injured list.
Eli White Cut loose by Atlanta
White (shoulder) was released by Atlanta on Saturday.
Analysis: White made a minimal impact in six big-league games back in April and spent most of the year with Triple-A Gwinnett, hitting .254/.363/.450 with nine homers and 14 steals in 43 games. He was recently shut down for the season with an arm injury, which Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports is a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He'll now have to go through rehab as a free agent. It's unlikely a team will pick him up until the offseason given his injury situation.
