The Chicago White Sox have placed outfielder Andrew Benintendi on the 10-day injured list following a left calf strain sustained during a game on Sunday. The move, effective retroactively from Monday, comes as Benintendi has had a slow start this season, batting .224 with five home runs and 12 RBIs over 24 games. To fill the roster spot, infielder Nick Maton has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Maton himself has struggled this season, previously being designated for assignment after batting .173 with limited offensive production.
