Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi has started in five games since being activated from the injured list June 12, and he's gone 4-for-12 with two of his knocks going for extra bases. Even with the positive stretch, he's hitting just .203 with 19 RBI and 15 runs scored across 56 games for the season.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Benintendi will cede left field to Corey Julks while the Diamondbacks bring southpaw Jordan Montgomery to the hill for the series finale. Since returning from the injured list Wednesday, Benintendi has made two starts and has gone 3-for-6 with a double, two walks and a run.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi started in back-to-back games after being activated from the injured list, but he'll get a breather Saturday with lefty Tommy Henry set to follow opener Scott McGough for Arizona. Corey Julks will bat fifth and play left field.

The White Sox reinstated Benintendi (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi will return to action following a minimum-length stay on the IL. He completed a pair of rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League prior to being activated, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored. Though he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Benintendi won't start, as the White Sox will instead hand Corey Julks the nod in left field. Benintendi should slide back into an everyday role beginning with Thursday's series finale in Seattle.

Benintendi (Achilles) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game versus the Mariners, Daryl Van Schowen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi played two rehab games with the White Sox's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and went 3-for-5 with one home run and two walks. The left Achilles tendinitis that sent Benintendi to the IL at the beginning of June no longer appears to be a concern, so he should regain his role as the team's everyday left fielder.

Benintendi (Achilles) will begin a rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi landed on the 10-day injured list June 2 with left Achilles tendinitis but looks to be tracking toward a short-term stay on the shelf. He'll likely need at least a couple of games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate in addition to proving that he can hold up to a full nine innings in the outfield, but Benintendi may be ready to rejoin the big club at some point later this week during its seven-game road trip.

Manager Pedro Grifol said Thursday that Benintendi (Achilles) will begin running Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grifol also said that Benintendi will take batting practice Thursday in addition to running. The 29-year-old outfielder landed on the injured list Sunday due to left Achilles tendinitis, and how he feels after Thursday could help determine his chances of returning when eligible June 12.

The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Sunday with left Achilles tendinitis.
EDGE Analysis
After hitting a solo home run in his first at-bat in the third inning of Saturday's 4-3 loss to Milwaukee, Benintendi was removed in the bottom of the frame due to the Achilles concern. The fact that Benintendi's injury is being listed as tendinitis rather than a strain bodes well for a short stint on the IL, but the veteran outfielder remains without a clear timeline for a return at this stage. Oscar Colas was called up from Triple-A Charlotte and will start in right field in the series finale in Milwaukee. Colas and Dominic Fletcher will likely be the main beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint while Benintendi is on the shelf.

Benintendi exited Saturday's contest against the Brewers in the bottom of the third inning with left Achilles tendinitis.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi launched a solo home run off Robert Gasser in the top of the third inning, delivering the White Sox an early 1-0 lead, before leaving the game in the bottom half of the frame. Dominic Fletcher took over in the outfield and more information on Benintendi's status will likely come following the contest.
