Andrew Benintendi Serving As DH In Cactus League Game
37 seconds agoChicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third in the lineup for Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Benintendi took batting practice in camp on Monday and was cleared to return to game action despite suffering a right-hand fracture earlier in spring training. It's been a pretty quick recovery for the 30-year-old, and as long as he doesn't suffer a setback in live game action, he should be on Chicago's Opening Day roster as their primary left fielder. The former first-rounder by the Boston Red Sox in 2015 out of the University of Arkansas is really only a fantasy option in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues with the lowly White Sox. Benintendi did hit 20 home runs a year ago, but he's a below-average hitter, and his poor defense won't do him any favors if he goes on a prolonged slump.
