Blue Jays Option Struggling Starter

He was slaughtered in each of his last three starts. 

As a result, the Toronto Blue Jays have optioned starter Mitch White to Triple-A Buffalo.

In his last three starts, White has posted a brutal 13.50 ERA over 12 innings. Batters are slugging an absurd .352/.436/.630 against him in that stretch. 

The Blue Jays acquired White from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline, where he had posted a solid 3.70 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts across 56 innings.

However, since coming over to the Blue Jays, the twenty-seven-year-old has registered a brutal 8.17 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 22 strikeouts over 25 innings. He's made six starts and holds an 0-4 record. 

Mitch White will head down to Triple-A in an attempt to get right what's gone wrong for him recently and, hopefully, return and help the Blue Jays down the stretch.
