White Sox manager Will Venable said that Benintendi (hand) took swings in the batting cage Thursday and "felt really good," Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi was cleared to hit after he had a scan on his fractured right hand earlier this week that returned good results. Venable didn't rule Benintendi out for Opening Day, and while it seems unlikely the outfielder will be ready by then, the skipper added of Benintendi that "we feel confident that he's in a good spot to progress." When healthy, Benintendi projects as Chicago's everyday left fielder.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi was diagnosed Thursday with a non-displaced fracture of his right hand and given a 4-to-6 week timeline for his recovery, so his optimism could be misplaced.

EDGE Analysis

Benintendi was hit in the hand by a pitch during the first inning of Thursday's Cactus League contest against the Guardians and immediately left the game. There are four weeks remaining until Opening Day, which gives the 30-year-old outfielder a slim chance at being active for the start of the regular season, though it is more likely he will make his 2025 debut in April. In the meantime, Austin Slater figures to take over as Chicago's primary left fielder.
