Ramos has a right elbow strain, and Rojas is
dealing with a right toe fracture. Tauchman has a right
hamstring strain.
Left-hander Tyler Gilbert was placed on the 15-day IL, and
right-hander Drew Thorpe went on the 60-day IL. Gilbert is
dealing with left knee bursitis, and Thorpe is out for the
season after he had Tommy John surgery.
Andrew Benintendi was in the starting lineup against LA as the
designated hitter. He broke his right hand when he was hit by a
pitch on Feb. 27.
Wearing a hand guard at the plate for another couple of weeks,
the 30-year-old Benintendi hit a three-run homer in the eighth
inning of the season-opening victory. He will be back in the
outfield for the final two games of the series, first-year
manager Will Venable said.
“I was just trying to get something to the outfield, (with) a
guy on third and less than two (outs),” Benintendi said of his
homer. “And squared it up pretty good.”
Clevinger, Jankowski and Maton joined the team on minor league
deals in the offseason.
The 34-year-old Clevinger is going to work out of the bullpen
after spending most of his career as a starter. He escaped a jam
in the eighth in the opener.
“That was huge,” Venable said. “We talked about those situations
and who we want out there for that. And Mike’s the guy, right?
He handles those situations well. The test came early for him.
That was obviously a big moment to see him get out of it, which
was nice to see.”
Eder, 26, was acquired in an Aug. 1, 2023, trade that sent Jake
Burger to Miami. Eder, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 amateur
draft, pitched two innings of one-run ball in his lone major
league appearance on Sept. 17 at the Angels.
Fletcher, 27, came over in a February 2024 trade with Arizona.
He batted .206 with a homer and 17 RBIs in 72 games with the
White Sox last season.
