Andrew Benintendi participated in live batting practice for the first time since breaking his right hand 18 days ago. He expressed excitement about the upcoming season and his desire to play on Opening Day. Despite a non-displaced fracture, he noted that healing is going well, and the main factor now is pain tolerance. White Sox manager Will Venable acknowledged Benintendi's quick recovery while emphasizing the need for a cautious approach as they monitor his progress.
Benintendi said, "I feel a lot better than I anticipated. Things kind of progressed better than we thought. The bone itself is healed. At this point, it's just pain tolerance."
Manager Will Venable stated, "We still just take it day by day and respect the fact he's working hard to get back healthy and we want to happen quickly, but we'll be responsible and kind of take it day by day."
