Andrew Benintendi has actually been playing a lot more left field (23) than designated hitter (13) this year. But when the White Sox have their full complement of six rostered outfielders, his defense emerges as an inefficiency that can be avoided.
When Luis Robert Jr. is on a two-day sabbatical in search for his missing bat, Benintendi playing left field becomes a normal machination of the outfield rotation, which includes occasionally DH-ing Mike Tauchman; a man who has suffered two hamstring strains this year.
