Andrew Benintendi's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox. The 30-year-old also walked once and scored twice in the contest. Most of the season has been one to forget for Benintendi and the White Sox, however, he did have a solid month of August in which he hit .278 (with .224 being his second-best monthly average this year) and seven home runs (no more than three in any other month), so perhaps he can parlay that into some September success. In total, the former seventh-overall draft pick has a .223-16-52-44-3 line on the season with a .293 wOBA and 88 wRC+.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is out of the team's lineup vs the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Benintendi, who signed with the White Sox before the 2023 season, is having an underwhelming season in 2024. In 106 games (372 at-bats), he is slashing .210/.266/.355 with 12 HR, 42 RBI, 37 R, and three stolen bags. His biggest area of regression has been within his batting average, which is .52 lower than it was last season. Corey Julks will play left field and bat leadoff in Benintendi's place on Saturday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi will take a seat on the bench on Monday against the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison at Oracle Park. With Benintendi opening the game on the bench, Corey Julks will start in left field and occupy the No. 8 spot in the batting order against Harrison. Benintendi has been miserable against lefties this year, going 10-for-73 (.137) against them with two of his 13 home runs, so it's not a surprise he's out of the lineup on Monday night in San Fran. He's been swinging a better bat over the last 11 games, though, going 13-for-44 (.296) with four home runs, three doubles and eight RBI to raise his season slash line to .216/.269/.366 with a .635 OPS. The 30-year-old just isn't relevant in most mixed fantasy leagues on the worst team in baseball. Julks will be a low-upside DFS deep sleeper. He's hitting .225 (29-for-129) with three homers in 53 games.
