Benintendi aims for White Sox opener after injury

Andrew Benintendi participated in live batting practice for the first time since breaking his right hand. He aims to be the designated hitter for the White Sox in their Cactus League game against the Brewers on Wednesday. Benintendi has not played in 18 days due to the injury, which occurred when he was hit by a pitch. He reported that the bone is healed, and he is now focused on managing pain. As he prepares for the season, Benintendi feels confident about his swing, though he acknowledges it may not feel completely normal for a few more weeks. He is eager to join his teammates for Opening Day.
