White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Lands on IL with adductor strain
The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left adductor strain.
Benintendi exited Sunday's game against the Tigers and hasn't improved enough in subsequent days to avoid the IL. Per Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times, Benintendi believes he could have played in a few days, but the team wanted to exercise caution. He should have a good shot to be activated when first eligible April 16. The White Sox have been using Brooks Baldwin and Michael Taylor in left field on days Benintendi is unavailable. The club has also recalled Greg Jones from Triple-A Charlotte, and he could factor into the mix in left field.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Undergoing further tests Tuesday
White Sox manager Will Venable said Benintendi will undergo further tests on his injured adductor Tuesday, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Benintendi exited Sunday's game against the Tigers early due to adductor tightness. The White Sox had the day off Monday, and Benintendi remains out of the lineup for Tuesday afternoon's date with the Guardians. Venable said Benintendi doesn't feel as good as the team had hoped at this point, necessitating further evaluation. Brooks Baldwin is making the start in left field for Tuesday's series opener. Through 33 plate appearances to begin the season, Benintendi is slashing .290/.333/.484 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Benintendi (adductor) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.
Benintendi departed Sunday's game versus the Tigers due to left adductor tightness and is still not well enough to play after the White Sox's team off day Monday. The good news is he has not yet been placed on the 10-day injured list, so the White Sox are seemingly considering him day-to-day for the time being. Brooks Baldwin will start left field and bat eighth in Tuesday's series opener.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Exits with adductor tightness
Benintendi was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers due to left adductor tightness.
The outfielder reached via a fielder's choice during the opening frame and appeared to tweak something while running the bases, though he remained in the game for one more at-bat before exiting. Benintendi will have a team off day Monday to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's series opener versus the Guardians.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Smacks another three-run homer
Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer during Monday's 9-0 win over the Twins.
Benintendi helped extend the White Sox's lead to seven when he took Chris Paddack deep for a 401-foot, three-run home run in the second inning. Benintendi's spot on the Opening Day roster appeared to be in jeopardy after fracturing his right hand in late February, but he was able to heal quickly enough to start the season on the White Sox's 26-man roster. He's gone 3-for-13 with two walks, two home runs and six RBI to start the 2025 season.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Blasts three-run homer Thursday
Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run during Thursday's 8-1 win over the Angels.
Just weeks earlier, Benintendi's availability for Opening Day appeared to be in peril after he suffered a fractured right hand Feb. 27, when he was hit by a pitch. He healed quickly, however, returning to the White Sox's spring lineup March 19 and appearing in four Cactus League games before getting the green light for Opening Day. According to Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times, Benintendi said he felt comfortable playing the outfield, but the White Sox chose to deploy him as their designated hitter in the season opener, perhaps out of an abundance of caution. Benintendi got off to a slow start to the day with strikeouts in his first two at-bats, but he came up big in the bottom of the eighth inning, extended the White Sox lead on a 397-foot, three-run home run off Ryan Johnson. Benintendi hit 20 home runs in 2024, which tied a career-best he set in 2017 with the Red Sox, but he's failed to crack .700 OPS over his last two seasons after doing so in six of the seven prior campaigns.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Returns to lineup at DH
Benintendi (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers.
Benintendi's recovery from a fractured right hand has come along rapidly, as he took live batting practice Monday and is now back in the White Sox lineup. Though he'll handle a non-defensive role Wednesday, Benintendi is expected to make a start in the outfield Friday versus the Reds, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Barring a setback, Benintendi appears as though he'll be ready to serve as Chicago's starting left fielder on Opening Day.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Progressing quicker than expected
Benintendi (hand) took live batting practice Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "I feel a lot better than I anticipated," Benintendi said after Monday's workout. "Things kind of progressed better than we thought. The bone itself is healed. At this point it's just pain tolerance."
Benintendi faced pitching for the first time since Feb. 27, when he suffered a non-displaced fracture of the bone on beneath the pinky knuckle on his right hand after Guardians lefty Logan Allen struck him with a pitch. The 30-year-old said that he had been hitting for four or five days before testing himself in a live session Monday, and if he experiences no unexpected pain coming out of the workout, he could be cleared to rejoin the White Sox's Cactus League lineup as a designated hitter Wednesday against the Brewers. At the time he suffered the injury, Benintendi faced an estimated recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, but he sounds like he'll push to be ready for the March 27 season opener against the Angels, even if the fractured bone hasn't fully healed by then.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Takes swings in batting cage
White Sox manager Will Venable said that Benintendi (hand) took swings in the batting cage Thursday and "felt really good," Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Benintendi was cleared to hit after he had a scan on his fractured right hand earlier this week that returned good results. Venable didn't rule Benintendi out for Opening Day, and while it seems unlikely the outfielder will be ready by then, the skipper added of Benintendi that "we feel confident that he's in a good spot to progress." When healthy, Benintendi projects as Chicago's everyday left fielder.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Pushing to play Opening Day
Benintendi (hand) thinks he can be ready in time for Opening Day, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Benintendi was diagnosed Thursday with a non-displaced fracture of his right hand and given a 4-to-6 week timeline for his recovery, so his optimism could be misplaced. With the veteran outfielder sidelined, Austin Slater could see an uptick in playing time, while Dominic Fletcher could make the Opening Day roster if Benintendi ends up on the IL.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Suffers hand fracture
Benintendi was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his right hand Thursday and will be out 4-to-6 weeks.
Benintendi was hit in the hand by a pitch during the first inning of Thursday's Cactus League contest against the Guardians and immediately left the game. There are four weeks remaining until Opening Day, which gives the 30-year-old outfielder a slim chance at being active for the start of the regular season, though it is more likely he will make his 2025 debut in April. In the meantime, Austin Slater figures to take over as Chicago's primary left fielder.

The outfielder was struck by a Logan Allen offering in his first plate appearance and was removed for a pinch runner. The White Sox are saying for now that Benintendi has right hand soreness, but it's not yet clear whether he'll need to undergo testing.
