Benintendi is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals. The veteran outfielder has a .923 OPS with two doubles and two homers over his past six games, but he'll take a seat against a right-handed starter (Miles Mikolas) on Friday for just the second time this season. Everson Pereira is batting leadoff as the designated hitter with Benintendi on the bench.

Mashes game-winning homer
Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over Arizona. Benintendi played the part of hero for the White Sox on Thursday, clubbing a go-ahead jack in the ninth inning. The homer was the second of the young campaign for the veteran outfielder, who's been struggling to command much fantasy attention. He's slashing just .216/.266/.392 with seven extra-base hits, 10 RBI and eight runs scored across 79 trips to the plate.
Idle for series finale
Benintendi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics. Benintendi hasn't reached base in any of his nine plate appearances against left-handed pitchers this season, so the White Sox will hold him out of the lineup for the series finale while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. After slotting anywhere between third and seventh in the batting order during his first 11 starts of the season, Benintendi has moved into the leadoff spot for his most recent three starts against right-handed pitchers.
