The Chicago White Sox recognized Andrew Benintendi on Sunday after the veteran outfielder reached 10 years of Major League service time, celebrating the accomplishment before the club's series finale against the Athletics.

The milestone marks a significant achievement for the 32-year-old, who debuted with the Boston Red Sox in 2016 and has since built a decade-long MLB career with the Red Sox, Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox.

Benintendi has remained an important veteran presence for a White Sox team that entered Sunday tied for first place in the American League Central with a 49-45 record. While injuries have interrupted parts of his tenure in Chicago, he has continued to provide leadership for one of baseball's youngest rosters.

This season, Benintendi has appeared primarily as a designated hitter while also making starts in the outfield. Through 68 games, he is batting .244 with 10 home runs, 46 RBIs and a .731 OPS.

A former first-round draft pick out of Arkansas, Benintendi won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2018, earned a Gold Glove Award in 2021 and was selected to the American League All-Star team in 2022 before joining Chicago.

Reaching 10 years of service time is one of baseball's most respected career milestones, reflecting both sustained performance and longevity. The White Sox acknowledged that accomplishment as Benintendi continues to play a key role during the club's surprising postseason push.
