Benintendi's two-homer, four-for-five night powered a 12-3 win, lifting his season total to 17 homers and fueling a late-season fantasy surge for Chicago. Lenin Sosa sits atop the Sox HR leaderboard at 19, while Coulson Montgomery has shown a promising power-and-glove profile across 48 games. The win underscores a front-office shift toward internal development, a rising run differential, and a clear path for the rest of the season.

The discussion ties on-field progress to a broader rebuild: internal hires, Ryan Fuller’s influence, and a plan that emphasizes growing talent from within. With a +16 run differential and a potential edge in the 2026 draft pool, Chicago’s strategy is delivering tangible upside for fantasy managers eyeing breakout bets down the stretch.
