The Chicago White Sox, on track for a third straight 100-loss season with a 58-99 record, activated outfielder Corey Julks from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the roster spot. Benintendi, who finished the season with a .240 batting average, 20 home runs, and a .738 OPS—the best mark since joining the team—remains under contract for two more years, making trade discussions possible despite his replacement-level production.
