Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi helped the White Sox jump on Freddy Peralta early, slugging a solo home run in the first inning. It was his fifth home run of the season and third since returning from the injured list April 17. However, in that 11-game span, he has only four RBI, four runs scored and no additional extra-base hits.

EDGE Analysis
Benintendi's left-handed bat will step out of the starting nine Saturday with southpaw Jeffrey Springs set to toe the slab for the A's. Brooks Baldwin will start in left field with Benintendi out, and Bobby Dalbec will claim the open spot in the lineup while starting at first base.

Benintendi went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 4-2 loss at Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old took lefty flamethrower Aroldis Chapman deep in the eighth inning for his 25th career homer at Fenway Park. This performance marks Benintendi's first multi-hit performance since being activated from the injured list April 17 -- he has gone 3-for-18 with two homers across five games. Overall, Benintendi is slashing .245/.302/.490 with four home runs and eight RBI and runs scored apiece over 53 plate appearances.

Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi got the White Sox into both the scoring and hit column with a bang, driving a 383-foot solo shot into right field in the fourth inning against his former team. The veteran outfielder has been one of the lone bright spots in Chicago's feeble lineup when healthy, hitting .278 with three round trippers, seven RBI and seven runs scored through his first 36 at-bats (11 games) of the campaign. Benintendi should play almost every day, but his fantasy upside will be limited by the lack of talent around him.

The White Sox activated Benintendi (adductor) from the 10-day injured list, but he won't be included in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi skipped a rehab assignment and wound up missing just one more day than the minimum due to a left adductor strain. The veteran outfielder has hit well in the early going this season, slashing .290/.333/.484 with a couple of home runs. Though he's on the bench Thursday, Benintendi should resume his role as Chicago's primary left fielder in this weekend's series in Boston.

The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left adductor strain.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Benintendi (adductor) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday game in Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi has not played since exiting Sunday's contest against the Tigers due to left adductor tightness. He was set to undergo further testing Tuesday, and while those results have not been revealed, Benintendi will require at least one more day of rest. Michael Taylor is in left field and batting seventh for the White Sox on Wednesday.

White Sox manager Will Venable said Benintendi will undergo further tests on his injured adductor Tuesday, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Benintendi (adductor) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Benintendi was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers due to left adductor tightness.
EDGE Analysis
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.
