White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Continues to be bright spot in loss
Rotowire
Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's loss to the Red Sox.
Benintendi got the White Sox into the hit column with a bang, driving a 383-foot solo shot into right field in the fourth inning against his former team. The veteran outfielder has been one of the lone bright spots in Chicago's feeble lineup when healthy, hitting .278 with three round trippers, seven RBI and seven runs scored through his first 36 at-bats (11 games) of the campaign. Benintendi should play almost every day, but his fantasy upside will be limited by the lack of talent around him.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Lands on IL with adductor strain
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left adductor strain.
Benintendi exited Sunday's game against the Tigers and hasn't improved enough in subsequent days to avoid the IL. Per Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times, Benintendi believes he could have played in a few days, but the team wanted to exercise caution. He should have a good shot to be activated when first eligible April 16. The White Sox have been using Brooks Baldwin and Michael Taylor in left field on days Benintendi is unavailable. The club has also recalled Greg Jones from Triple-A Charlotte, and he could factor into the mix in left field.
