Andrew Benintendi

CWS Left Fielder #23

Andrew Benintendi went 2-for-5 and hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the top of the ninth as the White Sox downed the Diamondbacks 4-1 on Thursday.

Benintendi’s 410-foot fly off Paul Sewald was his second homer of the season. He’s hitting just .216/.266/.392 with a 35 percent strikeout rate, but the White Sox have been letting him lead off and DH against right-handers. It’s quite the long shot, but they’d love to see him get hot and open up the possibility that someone might want him in trade, even if the White Sox would surely have to pick up most of the ~$28 million remaining on his contract to make it happen.
Davis Martin

CWS Starting Pitcher #65

Davis Martin limited the Diamondbacks to one run through 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision Thursday.

Martin fanned seven, besting his previous season high by one. It’s his fourth straight quality start, and he’s now 3-1 with a 2.01 ERA. It still seems like something of a fluke; his 22 percent strikeout rate is just average, and his 51 percent hard-hit rate against is one of the highest marks in the leagues. He’s been a flyball pitcher, too. He’ll get the Angels at home next time out. We’d continue to avoid him in mixed leagues.
Grant Taylor

CWS Relief Pitcher #31

Grant Taylor picked up his first win after getting five outs in the seventh and eighth Thursday against the D-backs.

He allowed two hits and struck out three. After opening four times earlier this month, Taylor has been a traditional reliever in his last three outings, which is definitely best for his AL-only value. He came into the day with no decisions, no saves and one hold in nine appearances this season.
Seranthony Domínguez

CWS Relief Pitcher #58

Seranthony Domínguez struck out two in a perfect ninth for his fifth save Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Domínguez has converted five straight save chances since blowing his first opportunity on March 29. He should be ready to pitch again Friday after throwing only 12 pitches today.
Munetaka Murakami

CWS 3rd Baseman #5

Munetaka Murakami had his home run streak snapped at five games while going 1-for-5 with three strikeouts Thursday against the D-backs.

Murakami had a chance against a homer-prone Paul Sewald after Andrew Benintendi went deep to give the White Sox the lead in the ninth, but he managed only a 278-foot fly. Murakami did single earlier in the contest, so at least he’s sitting on a six-game hitting streak.
Edgar Quero

CWS Catcher #26

Edgar Quero is not in Chicago’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

Quero has seen his playing time dry up a bit, and has now sat three of the last five games in favor of Reese McGuire. That’ll happen when you hit .161/.273/.179 in your first 19 games. Outside of dynasty leagues, Quero isn’t a must-hold — and he probably should be benched at this point in most fantasy formats.
Tyler Davis

CWS Middle Reliever

White Sox recalled RHP Tyler Davis from Triple-A Charlotte.

He had a 1.09 WHIP and 4.91 ERA in six outings with Charlotte. The 27-year-old will likely only work in low leverage situations for the time being.
Lucas Sims

CWS Relief Pitcher #39

White Sox designated RHP Lucas Sims for assignment.

These things happen. The 31-year-old has a 4.5 ERA in 10 innings with the big league ballclub thus far, striking out 10 and walking seven. The journeyman has pitched for four teams since the start of the 2024 and may make it five if he opts out of an outright assignment or is claimed on waivers.
Hagen Smith

CWS Starting Pitcher #82

White Sox LHP prospect Hagen Smith allowed one run on two hits in 2 1/3 innings for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, striking out four but walking five batters.

Smith’s command was a real issue here, throwing just 30 of his 62 pitches for strikes. He also sat 95.2 mph on his four-seam fastball and was down to 93.3 mph in the third inning. His slider was also over three mph slower by the third inning. Perhaps he was just struggling to get loose today, but this was a rough performance from the fifth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.
Miguel Vargas

CWS 3rd Baseman #20

Miguel Vargas homered and stole a base in a loss for the White Sox to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Vargas’s homer is the fifth of the season for the 26-year-old, while the steal is the fourth. He also drew a walk, and after an awful start to the year, he’s now slashing .193/.333/.434. All but that batting average will play from a fantasy perspective, and the hits should start to fall on a more consistent basis.
