The Chicago White Sox are facing a tough start to the season with the news that outfielder Andrew Benintendi is likely to begin the year on the injured list due to a broken hand. This injury raises some intriguing questions about the team's depth and strategy moving forward.

How do you think the White Sox will cope without Benintendi in the lineup? Will they be able to maintain their competitive edge, or is this a sign of a rocky season ahead?

Benintendi's performance last year was already underwhelming, hitting just .229 with a .685 OPS. With his absence, do you think this opens the door for younger players to step up, or will the team struggle to find a reliable replacement?

Moreover, considering the timing of his return, if he does miss the first four series, how crucial will those games be for the White Sox's playoff aspirations?

Let’s also talk about the broader implications of injuries in baseball. How do you think teams can better prepare for the unexpected? What strategies have you seen work in the past when key players go down?
