Benintendi's season ends early after an Achilles flare, capping a year in which he reached 20 homers while posting a .240/.307/.431 line in fewer games. The injury muddies the White Sox’s high-priced investment and fantasy outlook alike.

Corey Julks earns a call-up to fill the roster, with Colson Montgomery blasting a 428-foot two-run shot at Yankee Stadium and Shane Smith chipping in five innings of one-run ball as Chicago battles toward the finish. Kyle Teel debuts for the Yankees at Yankee Stadium as attendance edges up modestly, and the Sox look to avoid a third straight 100-loss season with two games left against New York and a trip to Washington.
