2024 Fantasy Outlook
The first season of Benintendi's five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox couldn't have gone much worse. Benintendi managed to hit just five home runs and post a .356 slugging percentage over 621 plate appearances, and a woeful 27 percent hard-hit rate confirms that he made some of the weakest contact in baseball. Among 133 qualifiers, Benintendi ranked 123rd with his .682 OPS. To make matters worse, his defense in left field went from below average to borderline unplayable. Whether it was a display of unwavering loyalty or simply a lack of other options, manager Pedro Grifol continued to run Benintendi out there every day and rarely had him batting lower than second. With the White Sox in rebuild mode and four more years left of his deal, Benintendi should continue to be an everyday guy. His high contact rate makes him a solid bet for average, but he has little else going for him. Read Past Outlooks
Plagued by hand injury last season
Benintendi said Tuesday that he was held back by a hand injury last season, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Benintendi's 2022 season ended prematurely due to right hamate surgery and soreness his hand/wrist area evidently lingered for much of the 2023 campaign. He never went on the injured list but did miss about a week of action around midseason. The injury could at least partly explain Benintendi's meager .262/.326/.356 batting line last season, so perhaps at least a modest resurgence might be in store in 2024 now that he's apparently fully recovered. For what it's worth, Benintendi said he had "one of my best offseasons," while gaining some strength.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Preference for Yanks
The Yankees prefer to re-sign Benintendi, reports Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger.
ANALYSIS
Some of the Yankees management have skepticism about the availability of Bryan Reynolds in a trade and prefer to go after Benintendi instead. New York traded for Benintendi last season and he produced a .254/.331/.404 slash line with two homers in 33 games after the trade but spent the last part of the year and the postseason on the injured list with a wrist issue. He's only 28 years old and interest may start to ramp up with Aaron Judge and Brandon Nimmo no longer available.

2016
Benintendi hit .320 for the Royals before he was shipped to the Yankees at the trade deadline, but he struggled to a .254 average with New York and missed the final month of the season with a broken wrist. He cashed in with a five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox and should have an everyday role in the corner outfield. Despite the high batting average last year, the veteran outfielder's numbers are underwhelming, as he finished with five home runs, 51 RBI, 54 runs and eight stolen bases in 126 contests. He showcased minimal power and had a .095 ISO, which is the lowest of his career by a significant margin, though he cut his strikeout rate to a career-best 14.1 percent. The poor power and speed production leave Benintendi with a low ceiling, even if he's able to hit around .300 again in 2023.
