Player Outlook
The first season of Andrew Benintendi's five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox couldn't have gone much worse. Benintendi managed to hit just five home runs and post a .356 slugging percentage over 621 plate appearances, and a woeful 27 percent hard-hit rate confirms that he made some of the weakest contact in baseball. Among 133 qualifiers, Benintendi ranked 123rd with his .682 OPS. To make matters worse, his defense in left field went from below average to borderline unplayable. Whether it was a display of unwavering loyalty or simply a lack of other options, manager Pedro Grifol continued to run Benintendi out there every day and rarely had him batting lower than second. With the White Sox in rebuild mode and four more years left of his deal, Benintendi should continue to be an everyday guy. His high contact rate makes him a solid bet for average, but he has little else going for him.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Third homer of June

    Rotowire
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run Tuesday against the Dodgers. Benintendi helped the White Sox get off to a hot start, as he delivered his home run in the first inning. He has been limited to 11 games in June due to an Achilles injury, but Benintendi has enjoyed a productive month by homering three times, driving in five and scoring five runs while also maintaining a .286 batting average. Despite the productive stretch, he still has just a .249 wOBA and 58 wRC+ across 233 plate appearances on the season.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Getting day off against lefty

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers. Benintendi and fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Sheets and Nicky Lopez will hit the bench as the White Sox go with an all-right-handed-hitting lineup versus Dodgers southpaw James Paxton. Corey Julks will replace Benintendi in left field and will bat seventh.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Taking seat Friday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Pops fifth homer

    Rotowire
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Astros. Benintendi has started in five games since being activated from the injured list June 12, and he's gone 4-for-12 with two of his knocks going for extra bases. Even with the positive stretch, he's hitting just .203 with 19 RBI and 15 runs scored across 56 games for the season.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Resting against lefty

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. The lefty-hitting Benintendi will cede left field to Corey Julks while the Diamondbacks bring southpaw Jordan Montgomery to the hill for the series finale. Since returning from the injured list Wednesday, Benintendi has made two starts and has gone 3-for-6 with a double, two walks and a run.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Receiving day off Saturday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks. Benintendi started in back-to-back games after being activated from the injured list, but he'll get a breather Saturday with lefty Tommy Henry set to follow opener Scott McGough for Arizona. Corey Julks will bat fifth and play left field.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Returns from IL

    Rotowire
    The White Sox reinstated Benintendi (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Benintendi will return to action following a minimum-length stay on the IL. He completed a pair of rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League prior to being activated, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored. Though he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Benintendi won't start, as the White Sox will instead hand Corey Julks the nod in left field. Benintendi should slide back into an everyday role beginning with Thursday's series finale in Seattle.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Set to return Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi (Achilles) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game versus the Mariners, Daryl Van Schowen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Benintendi played two rehab games with the White Sox's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and went 3-for-5 with one home run and two walks. The left Achilles tendinitis that sent Benintendi to the IL at the beginning of June no longer appears to be a concern, so he should regain his role as the team's everyday left fielder.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Starting up rehab in Arizona

    Rotowire
    Benintendi (Achilles) will begin a rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Benintendi landed on the 10-day injured list June 2 with left Achilles tendinitis but looks to be tracking toward a short-term stay on the shelf. He'll likely need at least a couple of games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate in addition to proving that he can hold up to a full nine innings in the outfield, but Benintendi may be ready to rejoin the big club at some point later this week during its seven-game road trip.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Set to run Thursday

    Rotowire
    Manager Pedro Grifol said Thursday that Benintendi (Achilles) will begin a running program Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Grifol also said that Benintendi will take batting practice Thursday in addition to running. The 29-year-old outfielder landed on the injured list Sunday due to left Achilles tendinitis, and how he feels after Thursday could help determine his chances of returning when eligible June 12.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Shut down with Achilles tendinitis

    Rotowire
    The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Sunday with left Achilles tendinitis. After hitting a solo home run in his first at-bat in the third inning of Saturday's 4-3 loss to Milwaukee, Benintendi was removed in the bottom of the frame due to the Achilles concern. The fact that Benintendi's injury is being listed as tendinitis rather than a strain bodes well for a short stint on the IL, but the veteran outfielder remains without a clear timeline for a return at this stage. Oscar Colas was called up from Triple-A Charlotte and will start in right field in the series finale in Milwaukee. Colas and Dominic Fletcher will likely be the main beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint while Benintendi is on the shelf.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Leaves early Saturday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi exited Saturday's contest against the Brewers in the bottom of the third inning with left Achilles tendinitis. Benintendi launched a solo home run off Robert Gasser in the top of the third inning, delivering the White Sox an early 1-0 lead, before leaving the game in the bottom half of the frame. Dominic Fletcher took over in the outfield and more information on Benintendi's status will likely come following the contest.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Taking seat Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. Corey Julks will draw the start in left field while Benintendi retreats to the bench for the series finale. Benintendi manned left field in the first two games versus Toronto and recorded three hits over eight at-bats.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Collects three hits

    Rotowire
    Benintendi went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday. Benintendi managed only his fourth multi-hit effort of May and his second three-knock performance of the season. He's had a disastrous campaign so far, as he has hit only .193 with 17 RBI and 12 runs scored across 48 games.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Sitting Sunday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Orioles. Benintendi will get a rest Sunday after starting in each of the first three games of the series, going 1-for-10 with two RBI and three walks. The 29-year-old has endured a dismal May, slashing .141/.195/.183 over 20 games.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Swipes second bag

    Rotowire
    Benintendi went 0-for-4 with a stolen base Friday against the Orioles. Benintendi has hit just .145 across 19 games in May and is hitless in five of his last seven starts. He did manage to swipe his second bag of the season, though that's hardly a consolation given his .183/.213/.263 slash line across 183 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Not starting vs. lefty

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays. Benintendi is 3-for-20 over his past six games and will sit Tuesday as southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the mound for Toronto. Zach Remillard will handle left field and bat seventh.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Sitting for series finale

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians. The lefty-hitting Benintendi will take a seat Sunday against Guardians southpaw Logan Allen. Tommy Pham will shift to left field while Rafael Ortega draws the start in center field. Benintendi has gone 5-for-33 with two runs and one RBI in May.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Not starting Sunday

    Rotowire
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Benintendi is 1-for-12 over his previous three games and will sit Sunday as lefty Matthew Liberatore pitches for St. Louis. Robbie Grossman is starting in left field and batting leadoff.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Cranks two homers in victory

    Rotowire
    Benintendi went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and six RBI in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Rays. Benintendi's huge game came out of nowhere -- not only were the two long balls his first two of the campaign, but the multi-hit effort was his first such performance since April 15. The veteran outfielder's power has dropped off dramatically in recent seasons, as he swatted just 10 home runs over 277 contests across 2022 and 2023. Saturday's performance was the sixth multi-homer effort of Benintendi's career, and his six RBI tied a career high, while the walk-off blast was his first as a major-leaguer.
