Andrew Benintendi Dealing With Quad Tightness
Andrew Benintendi (quad) is dealing with quadriceps tightness and will not be in the lineup for the next couple of days, after experiencing the issue in Thursday's game. Red Sox interim manager Ron Roenicke is hopeful that Benintendi could make his return to the lineup as early as Tuesday, which suggests the injury is not a concern for the 25-year-old. Benintendi got off to a positive start to the spring, with three runs scored, three hits, one home run, one RBI, one stolen base, a walk and .375 batting average through nine plate appearances. Benintendi will look to produce a bounce-back season at the plate in 2020, after posting totals of 13 home runs, 68 RBI, 72 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, a .266 batting average and .774 OPS through 138 games last season.

Andrew Benintendi Lands On 10-Day Injured List
Andrew Benintendi (groin) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 7) on Wednesday and recalled outfielder Greg Jones from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. The White Sox also agreed to a minor-league deal with Travis Jankowski for additional outfield depth. The White Sox initially didn't believe Benintendi's left-groin strain was very serious, but the 30-year-old wasn't feeling as good as they thought he would, leading them to send him for more tests on Tuesday. It's a tough break for Benintendi, who had gotten off to a good start with a .290 average (9-for-31) with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored in nine games played. Michael Taylor is starting in left field for the White Sox in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians, but Brooks Baldwin should also see playing time there with Benintendi on the shelf.

Andrew Benintendi Still Out On Wednesday
Andrew Benintendi (groin) remains on the bench for Wednesday's game against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. Benintendi was pulled from Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers with left-groin tightness and hasn't played since. For now, fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day. Michael Taylor will make the start in left field for Chicago and will hit seventh against Guardians left-hander Logan Allen. Benintendi will be hoping to get back in there for Thursday's series finale in Cleveland after starting the year hitting .290 (9-for-31) with two home runs and six RBI in his first nine games in 2025. Taylor will be a low-upside DFS option on Wednesday near the bottom of the order. He has three hits in his first 16 plate appearances this year and has one hit in just three career at-bats against Allen.

Andrew Benintendi Not In Tuesday's Lineup After Sunday's Early Exit
Andrew Benintendi (groin) is not in Tuesday's lineup for a road matchup with the Guardians. The 30-year-old exited Sunday's contest with an adductor injury and is apparently still not ready to go even after the team's off day on Monday. The former All-Star had a solid start to the season, going 9-for-31 (.290) with a pair of home runs, six RBI, and five runs scored through nine games. For now, consider him day-to-day. Brooks Baldwin will get the start in left field for Chicago and bat eighth. The 24-year-old is 7-for-25 (.280) thus far with a home run and five RBI. With temps near freezing in Cleveland and an implied run total of less than three for the Sox, Baldwin is probably an avoid in both season-long and DFS today. UPDATE: Manager Will Venable said that Benintendi doesn't feel as good as the team had thought, so he will get scans done on Tuesday afternoon.

Andrew Benintendi Makes Early Exit On Sunday
Andrew Benintendi (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Benintendi appeared to hindered by something after scoring in the first inning. He took his next at-bat, but was later taken out for a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning. Shortly after that, the White Sox announced that Benintendi is dealing with an adductor issue. For now, Benintendi is considered day-to-day, but sometimes these types of issues have a tendency to linger. The White Sox are off on Monday, so we'll see if Benintendi is feeling better in time for Tuesday's game.
