The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Andrew Benintendi on the 10-day injured list and recalled infielder Nick Maton from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Benintendi sustained a left calf strain in Sunday’s victory against the Houston Astros and his move is retroactive to Monday.
Benintendi, 30, is batting .224 with five homers and 12 RBIs in 24 games this season. The former All-Star is a career .269 hitter with 103 home runs and 505 RBIs in 1,055 games with four teams.
Maton, 28, was designated for assignment and sent to Charlotte last month after batting .173 with two homers and four RBIs in 23 games with the White Sox.
