Benintendi has been the best offense on the White Sox to start the season. He leads the team with nine hits and five runs. He’s batting .290/.333/.484 with two home runs and an OBP of .817. He last played against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
Greg Jones hasn’t played much in the majors
Many fans on social media didn’t know who Jones was. He doesn’t have much experience in the majors.
Jones is a switch-hitter who made his MLB debut on June 6, 2024, for the Colorado Rockies. The native of Cary, North Carolina, was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 17th round of the 2017 draft but did not sign. He played college baseball at North Carolina Wilmington.
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays drafted Jones in the first round of the 2019 draft. They traded him to the Rockies in 2024 for pitcher Joe Rock. He played in right field for Colorado in six games last season, going 1-for-5 at-bat with one home run, one RBI, and a walk.
The White Sox claimed the 27-year-old off waivers on March 26.
