Alex White (finger) could join the Rockies rotation next week.

He allowed just three hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings in his latest rehab outing for Double-A Tulsa on Thursday, and appears to be 100 percent healthy after straining the middle finger on his pitching hand in May. He'll be worth an immediate look in NL-only leagues upon his recall, though his first few starts in hitter's haven Coors Field can't be expected to be sterling.

Alex White (finger) tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings Monday in his second minor league rehab start with Double-A Tulsa.

White, who is rehabbing from a finger injury, gave up two hits while striking out two and walking none. He threw 29 out of 44 pitches for strikes. The Rockies plan for him to make two more starts in the minors before being reevaulated. It's possible he could join the Rockies' starting rotation by late August or early September.

White, who was acquired from the Indians in the Ubaldo Jimenez deal, is currently making his way back from a strained ligament in his right middle finger.

He'll either join the Rockies after that or make a start for Triple-A Colorado Springs. Assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, White, who was acquired in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, seems likely to join the Rox rotation at the end of August or early September.

Rockies acquired RHPs Alex White and Joe Gardner, 1B-OF Matt McBride and a player to be named later from the Indians for RHP Ubaldo Jimenez.

2010 first-round pick Drew Pomeranz is expected to be announced as the player to be named later once he is eligible to be traded in mid-August. The Rockies were shooting for the moon in a potential deal for Jimenez and they may have gotten it here. White, 22, posted a 1.90 ERA and a 28/5 K/BB ratio in 23 2/3 innings for Triple-A Columbus and a 3.60 ERA over his first three major league starts before going down with a finger injury in May. Assuming he can stay healthy, the 2009 first-round pick has a chance to be a rotation staple.

White has been sidelined since May 21 with a strained ligament in his right index finger. He threw a simulated game Monday and will likely need another one before going out on a rehab assignment. Because the Indians plan to use him in relief, he shouldn't need much time to build up his pitch count. The 22-year-old right-hander had a 3.60 ERA and 13/9 K/BB ratio over 15 innings prior to the injury.

Alex White (finger) threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session Friday.

White was able to work in some sliders and splitters for the first time since going on the disabled list. The young right-hander is set to throw a simulated game Monday.

The right-hander will throw bullpen sessions every three days for the next two weeks before moving on to a simulated game.

Indians transferred RHP Alex White from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

The Indians made the move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. White was recently diagnosed with a strained ligament in his right middle finger that will keep him out until after the All-Star break.

Alex White is expected to miss 8-12 weeks with a strained ligament in his right middle finger.

That's unfortunate. White held his own in 2+ starts for the Tribe, but it appears the injury he suffered Friday will keep him out until after the All-Star break. Mitch Talbot is ready for activation from the disabled list and will assume White's spot in the rotation.

Alex White left Friday's game after three innings with right middle finger soreness.

White tried to pitch through the injury initially, but he was clearly not himself, as he avoided throwing any breaking pitches and walked three straight hitters.

White left to a 2-2 tie after throwing 109 pitches and striking out four batters. The righty looked shaky at times but sharp at others and is likely to draw a couple more starts while Carlos Carrasco recovers from an elbow injury. White, 22, deserves monitoring in AL-only leagues.

Indians recalled RHP Alex White from Triple-A Columbus.

He's replacing the injured Carlos Carrasco (elbow) in the rotation. White, the team's top pitching prospect, has posted a 1.90 ERA and 28/5 K/BB ratio through four starts at Columbus this season. He's got a decent matchup Saturday against the Tigers in his major league debut, but he'd be a risk to start right away.
