US EditionWhite Sox Place OF Andrew Benintendi on Injured List with Left Achillies Tendinitis
Andrew Benintendi's season likely ended due to left Achilles tendinitis after hitting 20 home runs in 116 games, the highest output since signing a $75 million deal.
- On Tuesday, the Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Andrew Benintendi on the 10-day injured list with left Achilles tendinitis, retroactive to September 21, ending his season with six games left.
- Playing through earlier strains led Benintendi to miss nearly three weeks in May with a left calf strain and a week in April with a left adductor strain, and he said running became "pretty painful".
- Across 402 games, his slash line is.245/.309/.391/.699 with 45 home runs and 172 RBIs, despite defensive declines. Since Aug. 23, he led with a.311 batting average and a.955 OPS among players with at least 60 plate appearances.
- To replace him, the White Sox recalled Corey Julks from Triple-A Charlotte, where he spent most of 2025 slashing.300/.374/.447/.851, while Benintendi’s $17.1 million and $15.1 million contract complicates roster moves.
- The front office reportedly shopped Andrew Benintendi during the offseason and trade deadline, making it possible this is his last time with the White Sox after not posting a WAR over 2.0 since 2022.
