Swipes two bags in loss Benintendi went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

Impact The 28-year-old did his best to generate some offense from the top of the order. With the score tied 2-2 in the seventh inning, Benintendi singled and swiped second base, then got hit by a pitch in the ninth with the White Sox down by a run and got himself into scoring position once again. The steals were his first since April 8, and he's still looking for his first homer of 2023, but Benintendi has maintained a decent fantasy floor by batting .281 through 24 games with 13 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Hitting third in lineup Manager Pedro Grifol said he likes hitting Benintendi third in the order "right now," Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact The White Sox signed Benintendi to a five-year, $75 million contract in December so it's no surprise that he'll play a significant role for the team. In his full quote, Grifol hinted that Benintendi could move around the order in the future. It's also likely that he'd shift down the order when a lefty is on the mound. Spring training results aren't all that important for a veteran hitter, but Benintendi has only one hit through nine plate appearances early in the exhibition season.
