Returns to lineup Friday Benintendi (wrist) is starting in left field and batting leadoff in his return to the lineup Friday in Atlanta.

Impact Benintendi didn't play Sunday's first-half finale due to a right wrist problem which has evidently bothered him throughout the season. He's prepared to resume playing through the issue as the White Sox kick off the second half.

Managing wrist issue Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a lingering wrist injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Benintendi, who also sat out Saturday's 3-0 loss, will get some extra time to manage the wrist issue, which manager Pedro Grifol said is something that has bothered the outfielder all season. According to Grifol, the White Sox don't view the injury as anything that will sideline Benintendi beyond the All-Star break, as the 29-year-old is expected to be back in action for the White Sox's first game of the second half Friday in Atlanta. Benintendi has been a disappointment in the first season of his five-year, $75 million deal with Chicago, as he's batting an excellent .280 but has provided just one home run in 350 plate appearances on the campaign.

Heads to bench Benintendi will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals.

Impact Benintendi's first season in Chicago hasn't gone as planned, as he's homered just once while slashing .280/.347/.369, good for a sub-par 98 wRC+. Gavin Sheets will get the start in left field in his absence.

Excelling in leadoff role Benintendi went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, a run scored and a walk Friday against the Athletics.

Impact Benintendi has served as the White Sox's primary leadoff hitter since June 17, and he's excelled in the role. Across 13 games, he's hit .392 with a .436 on-base percentage while also chipping in five runs scored and four RBI. Benintendi has only one home run and a .094 ISO for the season, but he should have the chance to maintain a strong batting average while racking up runs and stolen bases moving forward.

On bench Thursday Benintendi is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Angels.

Impact Chicago is deploying a righty-heavy batting order with left-hander Patrick Sandoval set to take the mound for the Halos. Clint Frazier, Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez will start across the outfield.

Benintendi leads White Sox against the Mariners after 4-hit game

The Chicago White Sox play the Seattle Mariners after Andrew Benintendi had four hits against the Mariners on Saturday

JUNE 18, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reaches base five times Benintendi went 4-for-5 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Benintendi entered Saturday's game with only two multi-hit performances across the last 30 days and 26 contests. In addition to lessening that drought, he swiped his second base in his last three games. Benintendi now has nine stolen bags for the season, already his highest total since the 2019 campaign.

Ends homer drought Benintendi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Benintendi went 65 games without a homer to open the year -- his last long ball was Aug. 30, 2022, three games before he was shut down for the season with a wrist injury. The outfielder's power has been virtually absent since the start of 2022, though he's dropped to a new low with a punchless .349 slugging percentage this season. He's at least maintained a decent average at .265 with 17 RBI, 33 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 15 doubles and a triple through 266 plate appearances. Benintendi had a near-everyday role for much of the campaign, but with the White Sox near full health, it appears he's started to sit out more frequently against left-handers, though not to the extent to be in a platoon.

Sitting in nightcap Benintendi isn't starting Game 2 of the White Sox's doubleheader with the Yankees on Thursday.

Impact Benintendi has been hot at the plate over the past week, but after an 0-for-5 effort in Game 1 on Thursday, he will sit out of the nightcap. While Benintendi rests, Clint Frazier will take over in left field and bat leadoff.

Sparks ninth-inning rally Benintendi went 1-for-1 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.

Impact Benintendi pinch hit for Clint Frazier in the ninth inning, hitting a leadoff single and stealing second. Jake Burger capped the rally with a walk-off grand slam. Benintendi has gone 6-for-19 (.316) over his last six contests and continues to hold down a strong-side platoon role in left field. The outfielder is slashing .275/.330/.355 with seven steals, 14 RBI and 30 runs scored through 57 contests, but he's yet to hit a home run while adding 15 doubles and a triple.

Swipes sixth bag Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Impact He had half of Chicago's hits on the afternoon and scored the game's first run after a leadoff single in the fourth inning, stealing second and then taking advantage of two wild pitches by Michael Lorenzen. In fact, all three runs on the day crossed the plate due to wild pitches. Benintendi is batting .313 (21-for-67) over his last 20 games, but he hasn't made much of an impact otherwise -- through 56 contests on the season, the 28-year-old has zero homers, six steals, 14 RBI and 29 runs.

Takes seat versus lefty Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact With the White Sox welcoming Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy) back from the injured list and with a tough lefty (Eduardo Rodriguez) on the hill for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Benintendi will be riding pine in the series finale. Clint Frazier will pick up the start at Benintendi's usual spot in left field, while Jimenez mans right field in his return to the lineup.

Multi-hit effort Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Benintendi delivered an RBI triple in the second inning and added a single later in the game to tally his first multi-hit game in his last eight starts. Though he has still yet to homer this season, Benintendi has shown some ability to hit for extra bases of late, racking up six doubles and a triple across his last 13 games. Even with that stretch, he has a .085 ISO for the season and has provided fantasy value mostly through his volume of plate appearances.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Racking up hits Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Guardians.

Impact Benintendi led off the fifth inning and came around to score to account for the majority of his production. The effort marked his fourth multi-hit performance in his last six starts, though that hasn't led to counting stats as he has only one RBI and two runs scored in that span. The story of his season is similar, as Benintendi is hitting .277 but with only 10 RBI and 21 runs scored across 40 games.

Swipes fifth bag Benintendi went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Astros.

Impact Benintendi didn't have the counting stats to show for it, but he was a driver of Chicago's offense Saturday. The majority of his production came in the seventh inning, when he earned a walk and proceeded to steal second base -- his fifth stolen bag of the season. Though he now has three multi-hit efforts in his last seven starts, Benintendi still has a subpar .284 wOBA and 77 wRC+ across 156 plate appearances on the season.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three runs scored, two RBI Benintendi went 2-for-6 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

Impact Benintendi played his part in a 17-run outburst for the White Sox, with the majority of his damage coming on a two-RBI single in the second inning. He's riding a six-game hitting streak, during which he has gone for 6-for-27 with four RBI and four runs scored. Overall, Benintendi has an underwhelming 77 wRC+ and .283 wOBA across 133 plate appearances for the season.
