SEATTLE — The Chicago White Sox activated outfielder Andrew Benintendi from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday.
Benintendi had been sidelined by left Achilles tendinitis. He made two rehab appearances with the organization’s Arizona Complex League affiliate.
The 29-year-old Benintendi is off to a rough start this year for last-place Chicago, batting .195 with four homers and 18 RBI in his first 51 games this season.
The White Sox also activated reliever Steven Wilson from the 15-day IL before their game at Seattle. Rookie outfielder Duke Ellis was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, and left-hander Tim Hill was designated for assignment.
Wilson had been on the injured list since May 20 with a back strain. The right-hander made two rehab appearances with Charlotte, allowing two runs and four hits in 1 2/3 innings.
