32, it looks like they have reassigned him to the LA Dodgers. Earlier this month he was assigned to the Oklahoma City Dodgers.

Tyler has started in two of the Dodgers Spring Training Games at first base and gone 0-2 in both.

Tyler is playing at AAA Buffalo (Blue Jays farm system). Batting .266 with moderate power shown.
Probably will not get a call-up to Toronto unless Vlad Jr. goes down with an injury. However he is playing 1B everyday with Buffalo, which is a good thing.

Tyler White was sold by the Milwaukee Brewers today to the Atlanta Braves.
I assume he will stay at AAA and be assigned to Gwinnett. He has been at Nashville in the Brewers farm system.

Glad to see Tyler getting back closer to NC, but, man, it's gonna be tough to climb that ladder to the top with the way the baby Braves have been performing lately. But, never say never....

I agree. The youngsters that are being brought up by Atlanta are doing very well. The right buttons are being pushed.
The following article gives a little insight into the Braves' thinking and why this deal for Tyler was made. Particularly the last paragraph...
Braves Acquire Tyler White From Brewers
By Steve Adams | August 17, 2022 at 10:52am CDT
The Braves have acquired first baseman Tyler White from the Brewers in exchange for cash, as first indicated on the MLB.com transactions log. White was eligible to be traded even after the Aug. 2 trade deadline passed because he hasn’t been on the 40-man roster at any point this season. The 31-year-old White is a veteran of four Major League seasons, mostly coming as a member of the Astros. From 2016-19, White hit .236/.315/.409 with 26 home runs, 48 doubles and three triples in a total of 859 plate appearances between Houston and a much briefer 2019 stint with the Dodgers. White was very briefly with the KBO’s SK Wyverns (now the SSG Landers) down the stretch in 2020, though he appeared in just nine games there. He returned to North American ball in 2021, hitting at a .292/.424/.476 clip in 443 plate appearances with the Blue Jays’ Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. He didn’t get a call to the big leagues, however, and White latched on with the Brewers on a minor league pact over the winter. So far in 2022, he’s posted a .230/.357/.431 batting line in 325 plate appearances for Milwaukee’s top affiliate in Nashville. It’s a depth move for a Braves club that just designated for assignment and released a similar journeyman first baseman, Mike Ford. White will get regular or semi-regular at-bats in Triple-A Gwinnett between first base and designated hitter, and he’ll serve as an insurance policy against an injury to Matt Olson. It’s possible that he could work his way into consideration for a September promotion once teams are granted a pair of extra roster spots, but for now he’ll head to Gwinnett.
