The left fielder sustained a non-displaced fracture after being hit by a pitch during a spring training game against the Guardians.
- Andrew Benintendi suffered a broken right hand after being hit by an 87 mph pitch from Cleveland's Logan Allen during the first inning of a spring training game.
- The injury is a non-displaced fracture that does not require surgery, with an estimated recovery time of four to six weeks.
- Benintendi is unlikely to be ready for the White Sox's Opening Day on March 27 but could return in mid-April if his recovery progresses on schedule.
- The 30-year-old outfielder is entering the third season of a five-year, $75 million contract and remains a key figure in the White Sox lineup and clubhouse.
- Potential replacements for Benintendi during his absence include Dominic Fletcher, Oscar Colás, and non-roster invitee Joey Gallo, among others.
