Eli White goes deep for first time in 2026 on Tuesday

Eli White went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, before giving way to Mike Yastrzemski in the sixth inning, in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
White belted his first home run of the season in the fifth inning off of Washington starter, Foster Griffin. The veteran outfielder hit 10 home runs and stole 10 bases last season with Atlanta, but is off to a slow start in 2026 and has seen his playing time suffer. He's appeared in only 12 games and is 5-for-24 (.208) with a home run and no stolen bases this season. With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) scheduled to head out on a rehab assignment soon, the logjam in the outfield could get another member if the Braves decide to play Kim at short and move Mauricio Dubon to the outfield. If that is the case, that would significantly hurt White's playing time even more.
