The injury adds another tough blow to a difficult year for the franchise, which currently holds the worst record in Major League Baseball.</p><p>Benintendi quietly reached 20 home runs over 116 games, matching a career high. However, the 31-year-old outfielder had been battling discomfort since July, and the lingering pain took a toll on his production—he ended the year with a .240 batting average and .307 on-base percentage, both career lows. His injury underscores broader struggles in the White Sox 2025 season, which hit another low point after a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees Tuesday dropped them to 58-99.</p><p>The news was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/white-sox-andrewe-benintendi-17360cf381761caba8636629fd34a5a0" rel="noopener">first reported</a> by the Associated Press’s Larry Fleisher, who confirmed that Benintendi would miss the remainder of the season in an article posted Tuesday. Fleisher also included remarks from the veteran outfielder on his ongoing health concerns.</p><p>“It’s gotten to a point where running and jogging, it’s pretty painful,” Benintendi said. “We all agree that it’s the right move. We’re trying to figure out what it really is. The Achilles looks good. It’s just a lot of inflammation and things like that. So try to keep moving and stay off it.”</p><p>White Sox manager Will Venable also addressed the decision and Benintendi’s status.</p><p>“He was in a really tough spot,” Venable said. “He could hit for us and he just kind of puts us in a tough spot.”</p><p>The White Sox roster moves now turn toward development. With no postseason in sight, the front office is likely to give younger players, like outfielder Duke Ellis, a look before the year ends. Still, Benintendi’s Achilles tendinitis raises long-term questions — both about his durability and his role in the team’s rebuild.</p><p>The injury could impact Benintendi’s trade value this offseason, especially with $75 million remaining on his contract. His situation reflects similar Achilles issues seen in aging outfielders across MLB and will be closely watched heading into spring training.</p><p>Whether as a veteran leader or future trade candidate, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-disappointing-player-chicago-trade-offseason">Benintendi’s future will play a central role</a> in shaping the White Sox’s 2026 direction.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the eighth inning of Chicago’s 9-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, Benintendi pulled off a jaw-dropping defensive play — robbing Bryce Harper of a three-run home run that would have given Philadelphia late momentum.</p><p>The highlight came with two outs in the top of the eighth inning and runners on first and third. Chicago reliever Matt Eisert delivered a 0-1 pitch that Harper crushed deep to left field. It looked destined to clear the fence. But Benintendi timed his leap, scaled the wall at Guaranteed Rate Field, and snagged the ball in midair — instantly becoming one of the biggest moments of the White Sox vs. Phillies series.</p><p>The official MLB account posted the moment on X (formerly known as Twitter), calling attention to the <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1950710631071662234" rel="noopener">veteran’s timing and athleticism</a>.</p><p>“Andrew Benintendi brought it back 😮”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Andrew Benintendi brought it back 😮 <a href="https://t.co/cHDeV3hFrc">pic.twitter.com/cHDeV3hFrc</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1950710631071662234?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 31, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The catch preserved a 9-2 lead and shut down Philadelphia’s final threat, providing a rare <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-news-chicagos-young-stars-playing-for-a-lot-more-than-themselves">late-season highlight for a rebuilding Chicago club</a>. It echoed Benintendi’s 2018 postseason heroics with the Boston Red Sox and served as a reminder of his Gold Glove-caliber presence in left field. Now 31-years-old and in the third season of a five-year, $75 million contract, he continues to provide veteran value — a timely boost with the MLB trade deadline less than 24 hours away.</p><p>Chicago erupted for seven runs in the seventh inning to blow the game open, with Lenyn Sosa, Miguel Vargas, and Edgar Quero each going deep to showcase the potential of the team’s emerging core. While the White Sox remain at 40-69 and are trending toward another 100-loss season, the win marked their eighth in the last 12 games — a modest but encouraging post-All-Star break surge.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Phillies dropped to 61-47, still firmly in the NL East race but showing signs of vulnerability. Harper’s season line — a .266 average with 15 home runs and an .868 OPS — remains solid, but he was denied a pivotal moment. A three-run homer would have cut the deficit to 9-5 heading into the ninth. Instead, Benintendi’s defensive gem closed the door.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team anticipates the veteran left fielder will miss four to six weeks as he heals from the injury.</p><p>Benintendi led the White Sox with 20 home runs last season in an otherwise forgettable year. While once a serviceable outfielder capable of producing at the plate, Benintendi has declined since his lone All-Star season in 2022.</p><h2><b>The White Sox lose starting left fielder Andrew Benintendi to broken hand</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Andrew-Benintendi.jpg"><figcaption>Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The nine-year veteran <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-andrew-benintendi-opens-up-on-ditching-the-yankees-in-free-agency" rel="noopener">left the New York Yankees</a> for a bigger contract with the White Sox in 2023. In two seasons with Chicago, he’s produced an OPS+ of 91. In 2024, he finished with -0.8 WAR, which was the fifth worst output on a team with a dearth of talent.</p><p>Benintendi is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-news-andrew-benintendi-breaks-silence-on-signing-in-chicago" rel="noopener">Chicago’s highest paid player</a>, due to make $17.1 million in 2025. Obviously the team is hoping he can bounce back to his Gold Glove-winning form of 2021 so they can trade him mid-season. However, the injury, sustained when he was hit by a pitch in a spring training game, will make a potential trade all the more challenging.</p><p>With Benintendi set to miss a month or more of the season, the team will need to find a replacement for him in left. It’s possible former Texas Rangers’ slugger Joey Gallo has his contract selected. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-news-joey-gallo-tries-revive-career-signs-contract">White Sox signed Gallo to a minor league deal</a> that included a non-roster invite to spring training.</p><p>The idea of replacing a struggling Benintendi with an even harder struggling Gallo is somewhat depressing. But it’s a very White Sox move. Chicago has made three playoff appearances over the last 19 years, going 3-8.

During their 9-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-news-white-sox-make-embarrassing-history-100th-loss">White Sox became the second-fastest team</a> to reach 100 losses.</p><p>After the game, White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi revealed what interim manager Grady Sizemore’s <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40993611/chicago-white-sox-lose-100th-game-detroit-tigers-sweep" rel="noopener">message to the team</a> has been during this disaster of a year.</p><p>“We have been talking about it all year,” Benintendi said. “It’s beating a dead horse at this point. We are not where we want to be. [Interim manager Grady Sizemore] said it best: ‘Unless you win the last game of the year, it doesn’t matter.’ So, I think everyone has moved on.”</p><p>For a team that has struggled so much, this is probably the correct attitude to have it the clubhouse. It has to be demoralizing to lose so often, so keeping the ultimate goal of winning the World Series in mind is a great way to keep the difficulties of this season in perspective.</p><p>The White Sox’s on-field performance has not necessarily improved under Sizemore, who is 3-11 since being named interim manager after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-fire-pedro-grifol-amid-historically-bad-2024-campaign">former manager Pedro Grifol was fired</a> on Aug. 8. However, based on Benintendi’s comments it seems like Sizemore has done as good of a job as anyone could in keeping the clubhouse together, which is as important as winning games at this point in the White Sox’s season.</p><h2><b>White Sox’s historically bad 2024 season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/08-26-24-sizemore-image.jpg"><figcaption>© D. Ross Cameron-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>With a 31-100 record, the only team to hit the century mark faster than this year’s White Sox were the Philadelphia A’s in 1916, who reached 100 losses with a 29-100-1 record. Going forward, the White Sox need to go 12-19 to have a better record than the 1962 New York Mets, who ended their season with 1 40-120-1 record, the worst in modern baseball history.</p><p>This is the sixth time in White Sox history where they have lost 100 or more games, and the first time they have lost 100 games in consecutive seasons after going 61-101 last year. They dropped a franchise-worst 106 games in 1970. Their worst winning percentage came in 1932 when they went 49-102-1 (.325).</p><p>The White Sox have had two notable losing streaks this season, losing 14 games in a row in late May and early June and 21 straight through July and early August.</p><p>Despite all of the negatives this season, there is still some hope for the future. Even though he currently has the interim tag, it has been reported that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-white-sox-grady-sizemore-future">Sizemore will be considered for the open managerial position</a> this offseason if he impresses during the remaining few weeks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, he was a teammate of Chris Sale for four of those years and knows just how special of a human being the left-hander is.</p><p>Ahead of the series opener between the White Sox and Red Sox on Friday, Benintendi had<a href="https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/1705345314687783380" rel="noopener"> nothing but praise</a> for Sale before facing the veteran:</p><p>Via Scott Merkin:</p><p>“He’s one of the best teammates I’ve ever been around. He would take the shirt off his back for you. It will be fun to watch him out there tonight throwing against us.”</p><p>Sale might be a hothead at times, but it’s clear all of his teammates love him. Unfortunately, injuries have limited the southpaw to just 29 starts across the last three seasons. In 2023, he’s 6-4 with a 4.66 ERA, striking out 116 in 92.2 innings. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-chris-sales-latest-rehab-start-amid-impending-injury-return-have-boston-fans-fired-up" rel="noopener">The old Chris Sale</a> has shown up at times.</p><p>As for Benintendi,<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-triston-casas-bobby-dalbec-roster" rel="noopener"> the Red Sox</a> traded him to the Kansas City Royals just before Spring Training in 2021. He spent a year and a half there before they shipped him off to the New York Yankees at the 2022 deadline. Things didn’t work out and Benintendi ultimately ended up signing a five-year, $75 million deal with the White Sox before this season.</p><p>Red Sox fans will always have a soft spot for Benintendi, who came up with the ball club and played a key part in their 2018 title. They also know just how brilliant Sale is and hopefully, he can stay healthy and find his best once again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
