Eligibility
Andrew Benintendi had a standout performance in the White Sox's 8-7 win over the Rays, going 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This game marked a significant uptick in his production, considering his struggles at the plate this season, with a batting average just under the Mendoza Line at .191. The two homers doubled his season total and the six RBI helped him nearly match his prior output in that category. While this game could suggest a turning point, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate still pose concerns for fantasy managers. However, those in need of power might see some value in Benintendi if he can build on this performance.
