Tigers' Brendan White: Suffers elbow injury

White, who is currently assigned to Double-A Erie, is dealing with right elbow inflammation and began a throwing program this week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

White began the season at Triple-A Toledo but missed most of April due to elbow trouble that has been plaguing him since spring training. He returned to action with Single-A Lakeland on April 28, but the right-hander was shut down again May 8 after making one appearance for Erie. White pitched 40.2 innings for the Tigers last year with a 5.09 ERA, but he appears to be a long way from helping the big-league club in 2024.
