White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Sits amid season-long slump
Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Benintendi went 1-for-13 during the White Sox's series with the Phillies over the weekend, bringing his batting average down to .158 for the season. Given that he's in the second season of a five-year, $75 million deal, Benintendi likely isn't in any danger of losing out on everyday role, but he could find himself outside of the lineup on a more frequent basis if he's unable to stage a turnaround in the near future.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Not starting in second matchup
Benintendi is not listed amongst the starters for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Plagued by hand injury last season
Benintendi said Tuesday that he was held back by a hand injury last season, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Benintendi's 2022 season ended prematurely due to right hamate surgery and soreness his hand/wrist area evidently lingered for much of the 2023 campaign. He never went on the injured list but did miss about a week of action around midseason. The injury could at least partly explain Benintendi's meager .262/.326/.356 batting line last season, so perhaps at least a modest resurgence might be in store in 2024 now that he's apparently fully recovered. For what it's worth, Benintendi said he had "one of my best offseasons," while gaining some strength.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Likely to bat leadoff?
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol listed Benintendi when asked Monday about potential leadoff hitters, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Grifol said he had a few players in mind, but Benintendi is the only one he mentioned by name, suggesting the 29-year-old could be the favorite to hit at the top of the batting order. It's not a surprise, especially considering the team's lack of options. Benintendi's first season in Chicago in 2023 was a lackluster one, as he slashed just .262/.326/.356 with five home runs and 13 stolen bases. He has four years and $66.4 million remaining on his contract.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Riding pine in finale
Benintendi is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.
The White Sox are resting several regulars on the final day of the season, and Tyler Naquin will be patrolling left field. Benintendi's contract should lock him in to a sizable role next season, but he ended up being a replacement-level player (0.0 fWAR) over 151 games in the first year of a five-year, $75 million deal.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Suddenly finding power
Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday against the Athletics.
Benintendi managed only two home runs across his first 117 games with the White Sox, but he now has three homers across his last five starts. He's hit particularly well of late, as he has at least one hit in 10 of his last 12 games while maintaining a .333 average with seven RBI and nine runs scored in that span. Benintendi's performance remains underwhelming overall, though his recent surge has pushed his OPS over .700 for the season.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Swats homer in loss
Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in a loss to the Athletics on Thursday.
Benintendi got Chicago off to a quick start with a solo shot to right field in the first inning, and he added a run-scoring single in the fifth. The outfielder has surprised by going deep twice in his past three games after hitting just two home runs over his first 117 contests of the campaign. Benintendi is in the mist of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's slashing .435/.458/.739 with the two homers, five RBI, five runs and a stolen base.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

He served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in Tuesday's 6-3 loss, but Benintendi will cede those duties Wednesday to shortstop Tim Anderson, who is back in action after completing his five-game suspension.
