Impact The White Sox are resting several regulars on the final day of the season, and Tyler Naquin will be patrolling left field. Benintendi's contract should lock him in to a sizable role next season, but he ended up being a replacement-level player (0.0 fWAR) over 151 games in the first year of a five-year, $75 million deal.

Suddenly finding power Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact Benintendi managed only two home runs across his first 117 games with the White Sox, but he now has three homers across his last five starts. He's hit particularly well of late, as he has at least one hit in 10 of his last 12 games while maintaining a .333 average with seven RBI and nine runs scored in that span. Benintendi's performance remains underwhelming overall, though his recent surge has pushed his OPS over .700 for the season.

Swats homer in loss Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact Benintendi got Chicago off to a quick start with his solo shot to right field in the first inning, and he added a run-scoring single in the fifth. The outfielder has surprised by going deep twice in his past three games after hitting just two home runs over his first 117 contests of the campaign. Benintendi is in the mist of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's slashing .435/.458/.739 with the two homers, five RBI, five runs and a stolen base.

Idle Wednesday Benintendi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Benintendi will get a breather for the matinee game after he started in every contest for the White Sox dating back to Aug. 7. He served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in Tuesday's 6-3 loss, but Benintendi will cede those duties Wednesday to shortstop Tim Anderson, who is back in action after completing his five-game suspension.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits, steal in win Benintendi went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rockies.

Impact Benintendi has managed three multi-hit efforts over 17 games this month, batting .222 (14-for-63) with three doubles and no home runs in that span. The steal was also his first since July 26. The light-hitting outfielder is slashing .272/.337/.352 with two homers, 13 steals, 33 RBI and 59 runs scored over 116 contests this season.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Sunday Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Benintendi started the past six games but will take a seat Sunday despite the fact a right-hander (Xzavion Curry) is pitching for the Guardians. Trayce Thompson will start in left field and bat sixth in the series finale.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Benintendi is not in Saturday's lineup against the Guardians.

Impact This is Benintendi's first day off since he missed a couple games July 8-9 with a wrist issue, and he has started twice against lefties over his span of 13 straight starts. Zach Remillard will start in left field and bat ninth against southpaw Logan Allen.

JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records 12th steal Benintendi went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Benintendi has enjoyed a steady July, batting .270 (20-for-74) with a home run, eight RBI, three steals and 13 runs scored over 17 contests. He continues to occupy the leadoff spot for the White Sox, though the lineup behind him is far from a potent one. Benintendi is slashing .284/.348/.372 with two homers, 29 RBI, 51 runs scored and 12 steals over 96 games.

JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs second homer Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Friday against the Twins.

Impact Benintendi led the game off with a home run, his second long ball of the season. He has hit well coming out of the All-Star break, managing 12 knocks across 32 at-bats with six RBI and eight runs scored. As his homer total applies, Benintendi hasn't hit for much power, but he has his most stolen bases since 2018 and is on pace to post his highest run total in the same span.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag No. 10 Benintendi went 2-for-4 with two walks, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to the Mets.

Impact The veteran outfielder set the table for the White Sox in outstanding fashion, but Lucas Giolito and the Chicago bullpen dug a hole the offense couldn't quite escape. Benintendi is up to 10 steals on the season, the first time he's reached double digits since 2019, and after three straight multi-hit performances he sports a .331/.405/.423 slash line since the beginning of June with one homer, 15 RBI and 20 runs in 35 games.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive out of leadoff spot Benintendi went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in a 6-5 win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Benintendi set the table well from atop the order, and he came through in key moments with three separate run-producing hits. While the veteran outfielder has gone deep just once this season, he's made a positive offensive impact with a .285/.349/.375 slash line, 42 runs, 26 RBI and nine steals over 87 games. Benintendi has hit especially well of late, batting .341 (29-for-85) over his past 21 contests.

Returns to lineup Friday Benintendi (wrist) is starting in left field and batting leadoff in his return to the lineup Friday in Atlanta.

Impact Benintendi didn't play Sunday's first-half finale due to a right wrist problem which has evidently bothered him throughout the season. He's prepared to resume playing through the issue as the White Sox kick off the second half.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Managing wrist issue Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a lingering wrist injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Benintendi, who also sat out Saturday's 3-0 loss, will get some extra time to manage the wrist issue, which manager Pedro Grifol said is something that has bothered the outfielder all season. According to Grifol, the White Sox don't view the injury as anything that will sideline Benintendi beyond the All-Star break, as the 29-year-old is expected to be back in action for the White Sox's first game of the second half Friday in Atlanta. Benintendi has been a disappointment in the first season of his five-year, $75 million deal with Chicago, as he's batting an excellent .280 but has provided just one home run in 350 plate appearances on the campaign.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Benintendi will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals.

Impact Benintendi's first season in Chicago hasn't gone as planned, as he's homered just once while slashing .280/.347/.369, good for a sub-par 98 wRC+. Gavin Sheets will get the start in left field in his absence.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Excelling in leadoff role Benintendi went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, a run scored and a walk Friday against the Athletics.

Impact Benintendi has served as the White Sox's primary leadoff hitter since June 17, and he's excelled in the role. Across 13 games, he's hit .392 with a .436 on-base percentage while also chipping in five runs scored and four RBI. Benintendi has only one home run and a .094 ISO for the season, but he should have the chance to maintain a strong batting average while racking up runs and stolen bases moving forward.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Thursday Benintendi is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Angels.

Impact Chicago is deploying a righty-heavy batting order with left-hander Patrick Sandoval set to take the mound for the Halos. Clint Frazier, Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez will start across the outfield.

Reaches base five times Benintendi went 4-for-5 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Benintendi entered Saturday's game with only two multi-hit performances across the last 30 days and 26 contests. In addition to lessening that drought, he swiped his second base in his last three games. Benintendi now has nine stolen bags for the season, already his highest total since the 2019 campaign.
