The Chicago White Sox rank last in the major leagues in several team offensive categories.

That message extends up and down the lineup for the Sox, who rank last in the majors in several team offensive categories.“For me, it’s trying to make sure these guys stay positive and make sure they are doing the right work to get back on track,” Thames said. Chicago White Sox’s Andrew Benintendi reacts after striking out against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Cleveland.
“Andrew , he’s not on time,” Thames said. “We just have to get him on time and trust the process. I just talked to Andrew about being a good hitter. I don’t want him up there thinking about power. Just doing the little things. When I’ve seen him at his best over his career, he’s just been a good hitter. I want him to get back to that and swing at his pitches.
Confidence is one area Thames says is working for right fielder Gavin Sheets, who is slashing .262/.378/.508 with six doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs.
