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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Benintendi is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Benintendi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi went 65 games without a homer to open the year -- his last long ball was Aug. 30, 2022, three games before he was shut down for the season with a wrist injury. The outfielder's power has been virtually absent since the start of 2022, though he's dropped to a new low with a punchless .349 slugging percentage this season. He's at least maintained a decent average at .265 with 17 RBI, 33 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 15 doubles and a triple through 266 plate appearances. Benintendi had a near-everyday role for much of the campaign, but with the White Sox near full health, it appears he's started to sit out more frequently against left-handers, though not to the extent to be in a platoon.

Benintendi isn't in the White Sox's lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi is 4-for-16 with two RBI and two runs scored over his last five games and will get a breather Thursday. While he rests, Clint Frazier will take over in left field and bat eighth.

Benintendi isn't starting Game 2 of the White Sox's doubleheader with the Yankees on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi has been hot at the plate over the past week, but after an 0-for-5 effort in Game 1 on Thursday, he will sit out of the nightcap. While Benintendi rests, Clint Frazier will take over in left field and bat leadoff.

Benintendi went 1-for-1 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi pinch hit for Clint Frazier in the ninth inning, hitting a leadoff single and stealing second. Jake Burger capped the rally with a walk-off grand slam. Benintendi has gone 6-for-19 (.316) over his last six contests and continues to hold down a strong-side platoon role in left field. The outfielder is slashing .275/.330/.355 with seven steals, 14 RBI and 30 runs scored through 57 contests, but he's yet to hit a home run while adding 15 doubles and a triple.

Benintendi is not in the lineup versus the Tigers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi will take a seat for the series finale against Detroit against left-hander Matthew Boyd. Clint Frazier will get the start in left and hit seventh in Benintendi's absence.

Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

He had half of Chicago's hits on the afternoon and scored the game's first run after a leadoff single in the fourth inning, stealing second and then taking advantage of two wild pitches by Michael Lorenzen. In fact, all three runs on the day crossed the plate due to wild pitches. Benintendi is batting .313 (21-for-67) over his last 20 games, but he hasn't made much of an impact otherwise -- through 56 contests on the season, the 28-year-old has zero homers, six steals, 14 RBI and 29 runs.
