Andrew Benintendi Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (side) took swings in camp on Sunday and planned to do so again on Monday, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Benintendi said he would be playing if it were the regular season, but there is no reason to rush things on March 2. He is expected to be back in Grapefruit League action after Wednesday's off day. The 31-year-old veteran has been out since being scratched from Friday's spring game with right-side soreness, but he should be ready for Opening Day later this month, barring a setback. Benintendi has quietly hit 20 home runs in each of the last two seasons, but that is pretty much his ceiling, and he hasn't offered much else on one of the worst teams in baseball. He's outside of RotoBaller's top-100 outfield rankings despite being Chicago's starting left fielder.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (side) was scratched ahead of Friday's Spring Training contest versus the Texas Rangers. Benintendi was pulled out of the lineup due to right-side soreness. For now, Benintendi is considered day-to-day, so hopefully, he has avoided any significant issues. The 31-year-old is coming off a decent campaign with the White Sox in 2025. He slashed .240/.307/.431 with 20 home runs and 63 RBI in 116 games. Darren Baker took over in left field on Friday and could see an expanded role until Benintendi returns.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 21. The veteran outfielder will miss the final week of the regular season due to Achilles tendinitis. This is an issue that forced Benintendi to miss time earlier in the season. The White Sox aren't in postseason contention anyway, so Benintendi missing a few games isn't a big deal. It'll give the White Sox a chance to play some younger players. Benintendi finished the season with a .240/.307/.431 slash line with 20 home runs, 63 RBI, and one stolen base in 116 games. It wasn't a terrible year for Benintendi, but the White Sox expected more out of him when they signed him to a five-year deal in 2023.

Chicago White Sox left-handed-hitting outfielder Andrew Benintendi will take a seat with a left-handed pitcher on the mound in Tuesday's contest against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Austin Slater is starting in left field and will bat out of the two-hole against Cardinals lefty Matthew Liberatore. It's no surprise Benintendi is on the bench for this one, as he's hit just .172 (5-for-29) with two of his six home runs and 10 strikeouts in 32 plate appearances against southpaws this year. The 30-year-old veteran isn't much more than outfield depth in AL-only leagues at this point in his career. Slater has missed time due to injury in 2025 and has also been a non-factor in fantasy leagues, batting .208 (10-for-48) with two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored in 25 games in his first year in Chicago. He has two hits in three career at-bats against Liberatore.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, four RBI, and his sixth home run of the season to power the White Sox to a 9-4 win over the Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday. He started the day with a two-RBI single in the first inning, added an RBI triple in the sixth inning, and capped off his day with a 366-foot homer to right field in the eighth inning. The monster performance boosts his batting average on the season to .234 with six home runs and a .322 wOBA. He's in an everyday role in the heart of his team's batting order, but this type of production hasn't been consistent enough to put him on the radar for mixed leagues yet. Keep an eye on him, though, since he has been streaky throughout his career and proven he can contribute when he's on a heater. This big game could be the start of a positive trend for him.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they reinstated both outfielders Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielders Andrew Vaughn and Tim Elko to Triple-A Charlotte in corresponding moves. Benintendi is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup, while Tauchman is in right field and hitting in the two-hole for Friday's series opener versus the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Tyler Mahle. Both Benintendi and Tauchman offer mild power appeal for fantasy managers in deeper leagues searching for outfield depth, and they should both play regularly for the Pale Hose moving forward against right-handed pitching. Austin Slater and Michael Taylor are the two outfielders in Chicago that will probably be hurt the most by the return of both Benintendi and Tauchman.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (calf) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, according to SI.com's Jack Ankony. Benintendi will resume playing in games again on the farm after he was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 7 with a strained left calf. If the 30-year-old veteran is able to avoid a setback this week, it's possible he'll be able to rejoin the big-league roster by this weekend or at some point next week. Before getting injured, Benintendi was slashing just .224/.298/.400 with five home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored in 85 at-bats. He should be a lineup regular for the Pale Hose when he returns from injury, but other than some modest power from the left side of the plate, Benintendi doesn't offer much in fantasy. He matched his career-high with 20 homers in 2024 but also hit .229 (109-for-477).

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (calf) will be re-evaluated in a week or two. "If it's up to me, I'd be back right now," Benintendi said on Wednesday. "But there's obviously a long way to go, so there's certain steps I've got to take." Benintendi was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 7 with a left-calf strain and has a ways to go before rejoining the big-league roster. When the 30-year-old is cleared to resume baseball activities, he'll eventually need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment as well, so we may not see him again until early June. The former seventh overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2015 out of Arkansas still has some power (five homers in 85 at-bats) but he does little else for fantasy managers and is likely on the waiver wire in most mixed leagues. Michael Taylor should continue to see extra playing time in Chicago until Benintendi is ready to return.

The Chicago White Sox have placed outfielder Andrew Benintendi (calf) on the 10-day injured list prior to their contest on Wednesday evening against the Kansas City Royals. Benintendi suffered this injury during their contest against the Astros on Sunday. In a corresponding move, the White Sox promoted infielder Nick Maton from Triple-A Charlotte. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Benintendi's status over the next week, in case he has a lengthy stint on the injured list. Through his first 24 games of the regular season, the 30-year-old posted a .224/.298/.400 slash line with five home runs. Under the hood, he has generated a modest .323 xwOBA. While he is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Brooks Baldwin to see most of the opportunities in left field.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (calf) remains out of the starting nine on Tuesday. Benintendi was also held out of action on Monday due to calf tightness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Wednesday's game. The 30-year-old exited Sunday's contest early due to this injury. This evening, the White Sox will give Brooks Baldwin the starting nod in left field, and he will bat in the seven-hole. Before his injury, Benintendi held a modest .224/.298/.400 slash line with five home runs across his first 24 games of the regular season. Under the hood, the 30-year-old generated a weak .219 xBA but showed a strong eye at the plate, as he only struck out at a 17.9 percent rate. When healthy, he should continue to have an everyday role in left field. This evening, Baldwin is best to fade in DFS facing Kansas City right-hander Seth Lugo.
