    White Sox, Andrew Benintendi Finalize Deal Tuesday

    The Chicago White Sox and free agent outfielder Andrew Benintendi finalized a five-year, $75 million deal Tuesday that includes a $3 million signing bonus, per MLB.com's Scott Merkin. The deal represents the largest guaranteed contract given out in franchise history. The 28-year-old will provide defensive stability in the White Sox's outfield as well as a solid bat, as he slashed .304/.373/.399 with five home runs, 51 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 521 plate appearances in 2022 with the Royals and Yankees. Benintendi's strong plate discipline and speed are fantasy assets, although his lack of power limits his fantasy upside.

    Andrew Benintendi Goes To White Sox On Five-Year Deal

    The Chicago White Sox and free-agent outfielder Andrew Benintendi agreed to a five-year deal worth $75 million on Friday. Benintendi began the 2022 season playing for the Kansas City Royals, but he was acquired by the New York Yankees after 93 games and played in 33 games in the Bronx before his season ended prematurely due to a wrist injury. He was named an All-Star last year for the first time and finished with a .304/.373/.399 slash line, five home runs, 51 RBI, 54 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 521 combined plate appearances over 126 games. The 28-year-old should no longer be considered a threat for a 20-20 season, but he could be a nice source of average, on-base percentage and runs scored in a dangerous White Sox lineup in the years to come. Benintendi will certainly be a boost to Chicago's injury-prone outfield.

    Andrew Benintendi Still Experiencing Wrist Pain

    The New York Yankees could get pitchers Frankie Montas (shoulder) and Ron Marinaccio (leg) back for the American League Championship Series if they advance, but they are less certain about outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist), who is still experiencing wrist pain. He had a new injection this week. Benintendi has been ramping up his baseball activities with hopes of rejoining the team if they advance past the Cleveland Guardians in Game 5 of the AL Division Series on Monday, but he's looking iffy now if the Yankees actually advance. The 28-year-old last played for the Yankees on Sept. 2, and it's uncertain if he'd even be in play for the Bombers as a starter in the ALCS if he's healthy enough to be included on the roster.

    Andrew Benintendi Hitting Off Pitching Machine

    New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) hit off a high-velocity pitching machine on Thursday and will travel to Tampa to begin taking live at-bats. He could be activated from the injured list if the Yankees advance to the American League Championship Series next week. He hasn't played since Sept. 2 due to his wrist injury, but the Yankees could decide to include him on their roster if they advance past the Cleveland Guardians in the Division Series. The 28-year-old left-handed hitter would only boost an already potent Yankees lineup for the postseason. Benintendi played in only 33 games in the Bronx after being acquired from the Kansas City Royals, and he went 29-for-114 (.254) with two homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs and four steals in those 33 contests.

    Andrew Benintendi Unlikely To Return Before Playoffs

    New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand, wrist) said "it's pretty safe to say the regular season is out" for his return to the team. Benintendi is hoping to be part of the team's postseason roster, but he's not sure yet when he'll resume swinging a bat. The 28-year-old suffered a broken hamate bone and had surgery to fix it earlier this month. Fantasy managers will be without him the rest of the way in 2022, so he should have already been dropped to the waiver wire in single-year leagues. In 33 games with the Yankees after being acquired from the Kansas City Royals, the first-time All-Star hit .254/.331/.404 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases.

    Andrew Benintendi To Have Surgery Tuesday

    New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) is tentatively scheduled to have surgery on his hand on Tuesday, according to skipper Aaron Boone. The surgery will fix the hook of the hamate bone in his right wrist and is expected to keep him sidelined for the rest of the 2022 regular season. It remains to be seen if Benintendi will be able to return if the Yanks make a long postseason run. The 28-year-old played in 33 games for New York after being acquired from the Kansas City Royals, and he had gone 29-for-114 (.254) with two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases in 33 games in pinstripes. With Benintendi out for the foreseeable future, Aaron Hicks, Estevan Florial, Tim Locastro and Marwin Gonzalez will battle for playing time in left field in the Bronx.

    Andrew Benintendi Will Require Surgery

    New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) is likely going to be sidelined throughout the rest of the regular season. This is the worst case scenario for the young outfielder who suffered a hand injury on Friday. The results came back and Benintendi has broke the hook of the hamate bone in his right hand. He'll require surgery for this injury, which should knock him out for the rest of the regular season. His status for the postseason is unknown, but this is bad news for a Yankees offense that is already struggling. Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera are expected to see increased playing time, but have nowhere near the same fantasy value as Benintendi.

    Andrew Benintendi Heads To IL

    New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation. Benintendi hurt his wrist in Friday's game against the Rays, and although X-rays came back negative, he will head to the IL and miss at least the next 10 days. It is unfortunate timing, as the 28-year-old lefty has been hot recently, going 14-for-41 (.341) with two homers and a stolen base over his last 11 games. While he's out, expect Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera to pick up more playing time. Benintendi can be dropped in most leagues that don't have IL spots.

    X-Rays Negative On Andrew Benintendi

    X-rays on the right wrist of New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi came back negative after he left the game early on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Benintendi will go for an MRI exam on Saturday. The 28-year-old injured his wrist on a swing on Friday. It's good news that X-rays came back negative, but Benintendi isn't out of the woods yet and is unlikely to be in the starting lineup on Saturday, so fantasy managers must plan accordingly. If Benintendi is forced to the injured list, it would mean more playing time for Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera in the outfield. Since being dealt to the Bombers at the Aug. 2 trade deadline, Benintendi has gone 27-for-113 (.239) with two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases in 32 games.

    Andrew Benintendi Leaves Friday's Game With Wrist Injury

    New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi left Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with a wrist injury. Benintendi injured his right wrist and will head off for X-rays, according to the Yankees' official Twitter account. The veteran outfielder went 1-for-1 with a double in the game before he was replaced in the lineup by Oswaldo Cabrera. Look for the Yankees to update Benintendi's status after they see the results of his X-rays.
