The Chicago White Sox announced that outfielder Andrew Benintendi was scratched from Saturday night's game against the Seattle Mariners due to neck stiffness. Benintendi, who was set to be the designated hitter, has had a challenging season, batting .235 with two home runs and 17 RBIs in 36 games. His absence led to Randal Grichuk stepping in as a replacement. Additionally, catcher Kyle Teel, recovering from a right hamstring strain incurred during the World Baseball Classic, is expected to run again on Sunday before starting a rehab stint in the minors.
