Benintendi went 2-for-4 with two walks and an RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old kept the line moving from the leadoff spot, but the three hitters behind him went a combined 2-for-14 and couldn't bring him around. Benintendi is enjoying a solid start to his White Sox tenure, slashing .286/.342/.343 through 17 games, and while he's still looking for his first home run of the year, he does have two steals, five RBI and 11 runs.

Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a stolen base Saturday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi recorded his first multi-hit game of the season and both of his knocks were singles. He also swiped his first base of the campaign in the third frame before ultimately being stranded at second base. Benintendi has had an unremarkable start to his first year with the White Sox, collecting four hits in 14 at-bats while also striking out three times.

Manager Pedro Grifol said he likes hitting Benintendi third in the order "right now," Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox signed Benintendi to a five-year, $75 million contract in December so it's no surprise that he'll play a significant role for the team. In his full quote, Grifol hinted that Benintendi could move around the order in the future. It's also likely that he'd shift down the order when a lefty is on the mound. Spring training results aren't all that important for a veteran hitter, but Benintendi has only one hit through nine plate appearances early in the exhibition season.

Benintendi (wrist) signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox on Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi put together a .304/.373/.399 slash line with five home runs and eight stolen bases for the Royals and Yankees this past season. He doesn't run nearly as well as he used to and his already modest power bottomed out in 2022. However, Benintendi does offer good on-base skills and an adequate glove. He should score a good number of runs if he wins a spot high in the White Sox's batting order. Benintendi had hamate bone surgery in September, but he should be fine for spring training.

The Yankees didn't activate Benintendi (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday in advance of Game 1 of their American League Championship Series with the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Benintendi was never viewed as a good bet to make it back for this round of the postseason, despite having recently taken batting practice against high-velocity pitching. He still needs more time to regain strength in his surgically repaired wrist, but the Yankees haven't ruled out the possibility of Benintendi being available for the World Series if New York should get past Houston.

Benintendi (wrist) is ramping up his activity ahead of a potential return for the ALCS, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi hit off a high-velocity pitching machine Thursday and is set to travel to Tampa Bay to face live at-bats. If all goes well and the Yankees advance to the ALCS, Benintendi could be back in the lineup for the stretch run. For the time being, Oswaldo Cabrera will start in left field and bat sixth in Friday's ALDS matchup with the Guardians.
