White Sox Reinstate Benintendi, Bolster AL Central Lead

6 sourcesUpdated Aug 28, 2026

The White Sox reinstated Andrew Benintendi from the bereavement/family medical emergency list ahead of a key stretch run, adding an experienced bat as the team holds a lead in the American League Central. To create room, Chicago placed rookie left-hander Tyler Schweitzer on paternity leave and recalled lefty Tyler Gilbert to bolster the bullpen. In related moves, Rikuu Nishida was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to join the roster. Benintendi has batted .244 with 13 home runs and 65 RBIs this season, providing veteran presence and consistency for a lineup aiming to maintain its division standing. Gilbert’s recall strengthens pitching depth after a brief stint in Charlotte, while Schweitzer’s absence temporarily creates flexibility in Chicago’s relief corps. The club is clearly managing its bench and pitching options carefully as it pursues its first division title in years.

MLB suspended Dominican prospect Daury David Severino Damaso for one year after uncovering an elaborate age-fraud plot that used a fake birth date, records, and even a fraudulent death certificate to present him as a younger player, just as the Cleveland Guardians had agreed to a $2.8 million pre-deal that would have formalized in 2029. The case highlights ongoing concerns about integrity in international scouting and could disrupt Severino’s path to the amateur market, with the trainer involved and the player’s actual age now 16.
