Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with left-Achilles tendinitis. In a corresponding move, the White Sox promoted outfielder Oscar Colas to the major leagues from Triple-A Charlotte. Benintendi was removed from Saturday's game, and this injury does not seem too serious, suggesting that the 29-year-old could return to the lineup as soon as he's eligible. Colas is starting in right field on Sunday and should get plenty of opportunities until Benintendi is back. Colas should be faded in DFS on Sunday while facing Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas was called up to the big league roster on Saturday. Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) is expected to be placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old is slashing .244/.358/.406 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs, and six stolen bases over 46 games for Triple-Charlotte last year. He does have fantasy upside after slashing .314/.371/.524 in 526 plate appearances between High-A Winston-Salem, Double-A Birmingham, and Triple-A Charlotte in 2022. Colas has a path to everyday playing time and is worth adding to deep-league formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi left today's contest against the Milwaukee Brewers early with Achilles tendinitis, according to the team. Benintendi had hit a a solo shot in the top of the third and then was pulled. The lefty was replaced by Dominic Fletcher. More information in regards to the injury has yet to be released by the team, but Benintendi should be considered day-to-day until his status is clarified. Should Benintendi happen to miss much time then Fletcher should be expected to play in his place. The 29-year-old had been having a very subpar season prior to today's game so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to drop Benintendi if they're worried about his status going forward.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi went 3-for-4 at the plate with three singles in Monday's loss. This was a big bounce-back game for the 29-year-old, as he entered Monday hitting for a .053 average in his past six games. Overall on the season, Benintendi is riding a disappointing .193/.230/.271 slash line with three home runs and two stolen bases. Benintendi is known for being a great batting average contributor in fantasy, posting .262 and .304 marks the previous two seasons, respectively. Currently, his underlying metrics do not suggest a fast turnaround this season, as he sits with an 87.4 mph average exit velocity and 5.4% barrel rate. As a result, Benintendi should be left on all waiver wires, but he could be worth adding in deeper leagues if he continues to find his footing.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI during Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Benintendi blasted a three-run homer in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie the game 3-3. He later logged an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Sox up 6-4. Benintendi blasted the walk-off two-run shot in the bottom of the tenth inning, sending the White Sox to victory. The 29-year-old is slashing .191/.224/.277 with two home runs and 10 RBI over 24 games in 2024. Despite the breakout performance, Benintendi is mainly an option in deep-league formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand) said he was hindered by a hand injury in 2023 and focused on getting stronger this winter. "Added a little bit of weight. I think this was one of my best offseasons, as far as working out and getting stronger. We'll see how it translates, hopefully it does. Time will tell," Benintendi said. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter had surgery on his right hamate bone, which ended his 2023 season prematurely. It could help explain why he hit just .262/.326/.356 with only five home runs, 45 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 72 runs scored in 562 at-bats in his first year in the Windy City. Due to lack of better options, he's the leading candidate to hit leadoff for the Pale Hose in 2024, too, so with better healthy, perhaps Benintendi will be a candidate for a decent bounce-back this year.

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that outfielder Andrew Benintendi is a candidate to hit leadoff for the team this season. It sounds like Benintendi will be the favorite to hit at the top of Chicago's order regularly. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter didn't do much to move the fantasy needle in his first year in the Windy City in 2023, slashing .262/.326/.356 with five home runs, 34 doubles, two triples, 45 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 72 runs scored in 151 games and 621 plate appearances. Benintendi rarely squared the ball up at the plate and also didn't play very good defense in left field. The Pale Hose don't have many other options atop the lineup, though, so Benintendi will likely get the first crack. Outside of a decent batting average, Benintendi has a low ceiling for fantasy managers again in 2024.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) is back in the starting lineup on Friday, playing left field and batting leadoff against Atlanta Braves right-hander Charlie Morton to kick off the second half of the season. Benintendi was held out of the first-half finale last Sunday due to a right-wrist injury, but he got the rest he needed during the All-Star break this week and is good to go now. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter is hitting a nice .280 (88-for-314) with a strong .347 on-base percentage, but he only has one home run through 85 games in his first year in the Windy City. Fantasy managers will certainly be hoping that his wrist issues are behind him and he can display more pop in the second half.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) has been kept out of the last two contests due to a wrist issue. Per manager Pedro Grifol, the wrist has bothered Benintendi most of the season so they held him out of the last two contests to give him nearly a week's rest with the All-Star break coming up. The team is hoping he can avoid a stint on the injured list and will be ready to go for next Friday's series opener against the Atlanta Braves. The fact that the 29-year-old has been dealing with this issue all season would go a long way in explaining his power drain, he has just one long ball in 314 at-bats this year.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 29-year-old is sitting out while rookie Zach Remillard draws the start at second base and bats leadoff while Luis Robert Jr., Oscar Colas, and Gavin Sheets round out the White Sox outfield. Benintendi hasn't really justified the hefty contract that he signed in the offseason so far, slashing .280/.347/.369 with one home run, 23 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 314 at-bats. He should be back out there for the series finale on Sunday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi closed 4-for-5 with one run scored, one walk, and one stolen base in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. The 28-year-old direly needed a jolt to his nondescript White Sox debut season and fantasy managers hope his first game with three hits or greater of the campaign serves as that impetus. This effort comes on the heels of Benintendi smacking his first home run of the season on Friday, so he could become a waiver wire pickup in shallow leagues with a few more encouraging outings. The 2022 All-Star is slashing a modest .293/.383/.414 with one homer, eight RBI, and four swipes over his previous 99 at-bats, so he's not totally far off from shallow-league relevance.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi has been demoted to sixth in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Cleveland Guardians. It's just the fifth start out of the six-hole for the former top Red Sox prospect as he's largely hit second of late. However, the drop in the order can be attributed to left-hander Logan Allen getting the nod for the Guardians. Benintendi, who will carry a nine-game hitting streak into Tuesday's contest, has actually handled same-handed pitching well this season as per his .286 average and .748 OPS against them, but he's still without a home run across 189 trips to the plate on the season. Jake Burger is hitting out of Benintendi's usual two-hole Tuesday night in Cleveland.

According to Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, outfielder Andrew Benintendi's (elbow) right elbow is "not even close to 100 percent," James Fegan of The Athletic reports. The 28-year-old was hit by a pitch on his elbow during Friday's contest and missed two straight games Saturday and Sunday. However, he was able to play on Tuesday and went 1-for-5 with an RBI. Fantasy managers can expect to see Benintendi in the lineup despite his ailment, but his performance may be lacking until he's fully healed. The former top prospect is slashing .277/.330/.327 with 14 runs, six RBI, and four steals and is still searching for his first home run through 26 games.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins, playing left field and hitting second in the lineup. It will be Benintendi's first game action since leaving last Friday's contest early after he was hit by a pitch in the elbow. Monday's off day was ideal for the 28-year-old left-handed hitter, and he's back in there for the start of a series against the Twins. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups in redraft leagues. Benintendi is off to a fine start in his first year with the Pale Hose, as he's hitting .281 (27-for-96) with five doubles, five RBI and four stolen bases in 25 games, but he's still searching for his first long ball in 2023.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee), outfielders Andrew Benintendi (elbow) and Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) and infielder Hanser Alberto (quadriceps) could all return to the team by Tuesday. Anderson is the biggest name on this list. He has been out just under three weeks with a knee sprain, but he began a minor-league rehab assignment and is expected back early next week. Anderson's return as the regular shortstop will push Elvis Andrus back to second base and Lenyn Sosa to the bench. Benintendi is missing his second straight game on Sunday after getting hit by a pitch in the elbow on Friday. X-rays came back negative, though, and the 28-year-old is considered day-to-day. The White Sox have an off day on Monday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (elbow) is being held out of the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Benintendi is dealing with some minor elbow soreness. Benintendi underwent precautionary X-rays, but they came back negative. The expectation is that Benintendi will return for Sunday's series finale. Adam Haseley will start in his place in left field and bat seventh against righty Calvin Faucher on Saturday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is batting leadoff for the second consecutive game on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He'll face Sonny Gray and the Minnesota Twins. With Tim Anderson (knee) on the shelf for the time being, the Sox will likely keep Benintendi at the top of the lineup until the shortstop returns. The 28-year-old is still trying to get into a groove in his first season as a member of Chicago, as he's batting .261 with a .610 OPS. Benintendi's swiped a couple of bags and scored nine runs but has yet to go yard and has just a pair of RBI. He's been a solid fantasy option the last couple of seasons, and a year ago slashed .304/.373/.399 with five homers, 54 runs, 51 RBI, and eight steals across 126 games. Fantasy managers will want to take advantage of Benintendi leading off while they can.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The left-handed slugger will get a routine day off here. In his absence, Romy Gonzalez will cover left field and bat eighth versus left-hander Rich Hill. Gonzalez doesn't have great upside with the bat, so DFS players can probably find a better option on Friday. The expectation is that Benintendi returns to the lineup after this game.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut with his new team on Monday. The left-hander slugger has been a full participant during the early stages in camp. He signed a five-year $75 million contract over the offseason. Benintendi earned that contract after hitting .304/.373/.399 with five homers 51 RBI and eight stolen bases last season. Surprisingly, Benintendi has been outside the top-200 in early fantasy drafts. The expectation is that he'll regress a bit in 2023, but should remain a reliable fantasy contributor.

The Chicago White Sox and free agent outfielder Andrew Benintendi finalized a five-year, $75 million deal Tuesday that includes a $3 million signing bonus, per MLB.com's Scott Merkin. The deal represents the largest guaranteed contract given out in franchise history. The 28-year-old will provide defensive stability in the White Sox's outfield as well as a solid bat, as he slashed .304/.373/.399 with five home runs, 51 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 521 plate appearances in 2022 with the Royals and Yankees. Benintendi's strong plate discipline and speed are fantasy assets, although his lack of power limits his fantasy upside.
