SEATTLE — White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson hasn’t been much of a spark in his customary leadoff spot, so manager Pedro Grifol dropped him to second in the lineup Saturday against the Mariners and moved Andrew Benintendi to leadoff.
Benintendi reached base in all six of his plate appearances, but the experiment lasted all of 3½ innings as Anderson left the Sox’ 4-3 victory in 11 innings with soreness in his right shoulder.
