Sent to IL with Achilles tendinitis
The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left Achilles tendinitis, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
Analysis
The veteran outfielder's playing time had been cut in recent days, and this could be part of the reason. With his placement on the injured list, Benintendi's 2025 campaign is over. He ends his age-31 season with a .240/.307/.431 slash line, 20 home runs, 63 RBI, 57 runs scored, one stolen base and a 40:82 BB:K across 470 plate appearances. Benintendi has two years remaining on his five-year, $75 million contract he signed ahead of the 2023 season.

Seeing limited use down stretch
Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis
Though he's not dealing with any reported injury, Benintendi will take a seat for the fourth game in a row as the White Sox wrap up their final homestand of 2025. Under contract through 2027, Benintendi projects to handle a near-everyday role next season, but the White Sox look content to use the remaining few games of the 2025 campaign to evaluate other options in the corner outfield.

Absent from lineup again Friday
Benintendi is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.
Analysis
Benintendi isn't dealing with any known injury, but this is his second straight absence versus a right-handed pitcher. Will Robertson is in left field and batting eighth in Friday's series opener.
