Overview

  • Andrew Benintendi was pulled from the lineup with neck stiffness after he had been slated to be the designated hitter, and Randal Grichuk replaced him.
  • The club has not said how severe the issue is or whether Benintendi will miss more games.
  • Catcher Kyle Teel took live batting practice and ran the bases, and he is set for another running day before a minor-league rehab stint.
  • Outfielder Austin Hays, on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain, took live batting practice and is expected to run the bases in the next few days.
  • Benintendi is batting .235 with two home runs and 17 RBIs over 36 games, including a .320 average in May, for a team that is 17-21 and fourth in the AL Central.
