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

Benintendi is not in Saturday's lineup against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
This is Benintendi's first day off since he missed a couple games in early July with a wrist issue, and he has started twice against lefties over that span of 13 straight starts. Zach Remillard will start in left field and bat ninth against southpaw Logan Allen.

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

Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Friday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
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 implies, Benintendi hasn't hit for much extra-base power, but he has his most stolen bases since 2018 and is on pace to post his highest run total in the same span.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Benintendi went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI in a 6-5 win over Atlanta on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Benintendi (wrist) is starting in left field and batting leadoff in his return to the lineup Friday in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi didn't see action in Sunday's first-half finale due to a right wrist problem which has evidently bothered him throughout the season. He'll kick off the second half with a .280/.347/.369 slash line, and a .089 ISO which would be the lowest of his career over a full season if it doesn't improve.

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

Benintendi will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
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 subpar 98 wRC+. Gavin Sheets will get the start in left field in his absence.
