The Texas Rangers are promoting righthanded pitcher Owen White to the major leagues, per Ken Rosenthal on Twitter.
The 23 year old White is the consensus top pitching prospect for the Rangers, and has spent the 2023 season at AA Frisco, where he has put up a 3.54 ERA in 53.1 IP over 11 starts, with 45 Ks against 22 walks. White was named the Texas League Pitcher of the Week last week in the aftermath of a seven inning, one hit, no run outing.
It was announced yesterday that Jon Gray, who would have been the scheduled starter, is being pushed back because of a blister issue.
