White Sox Place Andrew Benintendi on 10-Day IL Due to Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left adductor strain, retroactive to April 7. He left a game against the Detroit Tigers and, after not improving, the team decided to exercise caution with his injury. Benintendi, who had been a bright spot for the struggling White Sox with a .290 batting average and two home runs, will be replaced on the roster by Greg Jones, recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox, currently struggling with a 2-8 record, are in last place in the AL Central and are looking for their players to build trade value, especially Benintendi, who has had a disappointing start to his contract. Jones has limited major league experience but had a strong performance in Triple-A last season and will now get an opportunity in the big leagues. The team hopes Benintendi can return when eligible on April 16, pending his recovery.
