Andrew Benintendi

The White Sox scored three times in the second inning to grab an early lead, then the score stayed that way until the eighth inning. That's where Benintendi victimized rookie right-hander Ryan Johnson for his 397-foot (104.6 mph EV) three-run shot. The 30-year-old outfielder finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. It looks like he's fully recovered from the fractured hand that he suffered in late February.

The 25-year-old Vargas was a top prospect for the Dodgers but struggled after he was traded to the White Sox last season. He began to recoup some of his past prospect value after hitting .341/.423/.523 in 52 plate appearances this spring with two home runs, five strikeouts, and seven walks. There won't be a ton of value in the White Sox lineup this season, but if Vargas is going to be the primary leadoff hitter, then he could carve out some fantasy value hitting in front of Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Vaughn. The White Sox's full lineup is: Miguel Vargas 3B, Luis Robert CF, Andrew Benintendi DH, Andrew Vaughn 1B, Austin Slater RF, Lenyn Sosa 2B, Korey Lee C, Jacob Amaya SS, Michael A Taylor LF.

The 30-year-old outfielder has made a surprisingly quick comeback after fracturing his hand on February 27 and it now looks like he'll remarkably be ready for Opening Day. Benintendi's leadoff single in the sixth inning was his first hit of the spring in 12 at-bats (.083). He should hit in the middle of a depleted White Sox' lineup this season, which gives him some late-round utility in deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

Benintendi was expected to be out four-to-six weeks after fracturing his hand on February 27th when he was hit by a pitch in a spring game against the Guardians. It hasn't yet been a month and he's already back in the lineup. We'll need to see how his hand feels after these live at-bats and whether the White Sox feel his timing is good enough to break camp with the team, but it seems like the 30-year-old has a real chance to be ready by Opening Day.

Benintendi (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers.
