Andrew Benintendi News
Chicago White Sox outfielders Gavin Sheets and Andrew Benintendi, infielder Nicky Lopez and catcher Korey Lee are all sitting for Thursday's series finale at Guaranteed Rate Field versus the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Tyler Anderson. Miguel Vargas is the designated hitter and is batting leadoff, Zach DeLoach is in left field and is hitting sixth, Lenyn Sosa is at the keystone and batting cleanup, and Chuckie Robinson is doing the catching and hitting out of the seven-hole against Anderson. Sheets will start on the bench for the second day in a row with another lefty on the hill. He's hit just .207 (17-for-82) with two of his 10 homers this year against lefties. Benintendi has similarly struggled against southpaws, going 24-for-113 (.212) with four of his 19 homers against them on the year. Vargas is hitting leadoff but has batted just .160 on the year with five homers in 194 at-bats.

Andrew Benintendi Walks It Off For The White Sox
Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi went 2-for-5 in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Angels, with one of the hits coming in the bottom of the 10th inning as a walk-off RBI single. The win was their second straight and staved off history for the time being, preventing the Sox from becoming the team with the most losses in a single season in baseball history. They have another winnable matchup on Thursday with the Angels, but will face a hot Tigers team for the final three games of the season. Benintendi's futility at the plate before the All-Star break was just one reason the Sox underperformed this season, with the former first-rounder slashing .201/.258/.311 through July 14, but turned it around after the break, slashing a respectable .263/.330/.493 over the last 58 games.

Andrew Benintendi Homers, Gets On Base Four Times
Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox. The 30-year-old also walked once and scored twice in the contest. Most of the season has been one to forget for Benintendi and the White Sox, however, he did have a solid month of August in which he hit .278 (with .224 being his second-best monthly average this year) and seven home runs (no more than three in any other month), so perhaps he can parlay that into some September success. In total, the former seventh-overall draft pick has a .223-16-52-44-3 line on the season with a .293 wOBA and 88 wRC+.

Andrew Benintendi Out Of Lineup Saturday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is out of the team's lineup vs the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Benintendi, who signed with the White Sox before the 2023 season, is having an underwhelming season in 2024. In 106 games (372 at-bats), he is slashing .210/.266/.355 with 12 HR, 42 RBI, 37 R, and three stolen bags. His biggest area of regression has been within his batting average, which is .52 lower than it was last season. Corey Julks will play left field and bat leadoff in Benintendi's place on Saturday.

Andrew Benintendi Sitting Against Southpaw
Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi will take a seat on the bench on Monday against the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison at Oracle Park. With Benintendi opening the game on the bench, Corey Julks will start in left field and occupy the No. 8 spot in the batting order against Harrison. Benintendi has been miserable against lefties this year, going 10-for-73 (.137) against them with two of his 13 home runs, so it's not a surprise he's out of the lineup on Monday night in San Fran. He's been swinging a better bat over the last 11 games, though, going 13-for-44 (.296) with four home runs, three doubles and eight RBI to raise his season slash line to .216/.269/.366 with a .635 OPS. The 30-year-old just isn't relevant in most mixed fantasy leagues on the worst team in baseball. Julks will be a low-upside DFS deep sleeper. He's hitting .225 (29-for-129) with three homers in 53 games.

White Sox Openly Shopping Andrew Benintendi
The Chicago White Sox are openly shopping outfielder Andrew Benintendi and would love to get out of his contract. Benintendi is still owed nearly $50 million from 2025 to 2027 under his current deal. It's going to be a hard ask for another team to take on Benintendi's contract based on the way he's played so far this year, but perhaps a contending team that wants to add a veteran left-handed corner outfielder will poke around later this month. The 29-year-old former seventh overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2015 out of Arkansas is slashing a weak .196/.246/.300 with six home runs, 22 RBI and 17 runs scored in 65 games in 2024 in his second year in Chicago. The White Sox's five-year, $75 million deal with Benintendi has aged terribly before two full seasons, and it's not like he's playing great defense, either.

Andrew Benintendi Sitting Against Southpaw
Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is taking a seat on the bench on Thursday against the visiting Atlanta Braves with a left-hander on the mound. Corey Julks will make the start in left field for the Pale Hose and will bat sixth against Braves left-hander Chris Sale. Benintendi has been on the bench in two of the last four games with the team facing left-handers in those games. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter could start finding himself on the bench even more often, though, as he's been a non-factor all year on offense. The former seventh overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2015 out of Arkansas is hitting a measly .199/.245/.308 with a career-worst .552 OPS with six homers and 22 RBI in 62 games in his second year in Chicago. Against lefties, he's gone 4-for-46 (.087) with a homer, two RBI and 13 strikeouts.

Andrew Benintendi Gets A Day Off
Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi will retreat to the bench on Friday for a contest against the Detroit Tigers in Motown. The White Sox have been easing Benintendi back into their lineup since he returned from an Achilles injury. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has had a tough time offensively this year in the Windy City, as he's currently slashing just .206/.248/.309 with five home runs, 20 RBI, two steals and 15 runs scored in 204 at-bats. Veteran Tommy Pham is starting in left field on Friday and will bat leadoff for the Pale Hose against Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty, who has had a career resurgence in 2024. Since returning from an injury of his own, Pham has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with a double and an RBI in six games since June 14. He's never faced Flaherty in his career but is worth a look as a DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot.

Andrew Benintendi Placed On 10-Day Injured List
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.

Oscar Colas Called Up Saturday, Andrew Benintendi Likely IL Bound
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.
