Currently, the guys are 7-19 in what has been a difficult and painful month of April baseball. To make matters worse, we\u2019re on an 8-game losing streak, have yet to string two wins together, let alone win a series. And to top it all off, after this past Wednesday&#8217;s 8-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, the offense had failed to score a run in the past 24 innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As is the case for most struggling ball clubs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyherald.com\/sports\/20230414\/white-sox-injured-list-update-jimenez-is-off-moncada-is-on\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">injuries have played their part<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the 2023 White Sox slow start. But, as easy as it is to point to them as a reason for all the problems, they\u2019re not all that\u2019s going wrong. A stagnant offense combined with lackluster pitching have been a recipe for disaster to start the 2023 White Sox season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there\u2019s plenty of baseball left to play, it\u2019s tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Not quite yet. We\u2019re only 26 games in after all. Both sides of the ball are going to need to figure things out though. That\u2019s for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New bat, Andrew Benintendi has yet to live up to the expectations of his $75 million, five-year contract. When he leads off the order, he hasn\u2019t quite made it on base like prior seasons. And when Grifol slots him into the 3rd spot in the batting order, well, he\u2019s not slugging too much either. But again, there\u2019s plenty of baseball left on the calendar, and Benintendi isn\u2019t the only bat in the lineup who needs to figure it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pitching unit has had its fair share of woes early on in the 2023 White Sox season too. Lance Lynn, a former Cy Young award finalist in 2021, has struggled early on with an 0-3 record and 7.52 ERA. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/what-can-we-expect-after-a-slow-start-to-the-chicago-white-sox-offseason\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offseason addition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Mike Clevinger, is in the middle of the pack performance-wise for starting pitchers. He\u2019s 2-2 so far with a 4.81 ERA, but he\u2019s having a hard time striking people out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At their current pace, the White Sox are on track for 52 wins. Barring an injury curse or some other unexpected craziness, we can\u2019t envision them not surpassing that mark when it\u2019s all said and done. How high this group\u2019s ceiling is remains to be seen though. The return of some key pieces like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/tim-anderson-641313\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim Anderson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a now, cancer-free, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/fantasy\/baseball\/news\/white-soxs-liam-hendriks-to-have-checkup-soon\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liam Hendriks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should bode well for the future. If anything, Hendriks return after battling non-Hodgkins\u2019s lymphoma could bring a spark the clubhouse desperately needs after all their struggles this April. The latest word is that he could be ready for a late-May return. But the bottom-line is, he\u2019ll be back in the rotation soon!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrEpYxlOqRo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrEpYxlOqRo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Chicago White Sox (@whitesox)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up Next On The Schedule<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With one of the hardest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/team\/schedule\/_\/name\/chw\/chicago-white-sox\">schedules<\/a> to open the year, the 2023 White Sox season will continue on whether they (or us fans) like it or not.
