Overview

  • Andrew Benintendi has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain sustained during Sunday's game against Houston, retroactive to May 5.
  • This marks Benintendi's third stint on the IL in 2025, following a spring training hand injury and an adductor strain in April.
  • The White Sox recalled infielder Nick Maton from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the roster spot vacated by Benintendi.
  • Benintendi, under a five-year, $75 million contract, has struggled this season with a .224 batting average, five home runs, and 12 RBIs in 24 games.
  • Chicago is utilizing internal options like Michael A. Taylor and Brooks Baldwin to maintain outfield coverage during Benintendi's absence.
