SARASOTA, Fla. >> Baltimore star shortstop Gunnar Henderson was removed from a spring training game on Thursday because of what the Orioles announced as lower right side discomfort.

Henderson, the 2023 American League Rookie of the Year and a 2024 All-Star Game selection, made a jumping catch of a line drive in the field against Toronto and grounded out in the first inning before he was taken out.

Henderson, who debuted with the Orioles in 2022 after being drafted in the second round in 2019, has never been on the injured list in the major leagues. He played in 150 games in 2023 and 159 games in 2024, when he set career highs with 31 doubles, 37 homers, 92 RBIs, 21 steals and an .893 OPS.

The Orioles are also missing All-Star third baseman Jordan Westburg, who is out for at least a few more days because of a sore lower back.

White Sox outfielder Benintendi out 4 to 6 weeks >> Chicago White Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi will miss four to six weeks with a broken hand after being hit by a pitch in a spring training game.

Benintendi was hit on the right hand with an 87 mph fastball by Cleveland right-hander Logan Allen in the first inning and left the game. The White Sox announced the diagnosis as a non-displaced fracture, with no surgery required.

The recovery timetable means Benintendi almost will start the season on the injured list. The White Sox open at home on March 27 against the Angels.

Angels don’t expect SS Neto to be ready by opening day >> Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto will not be ready to play by opening day while recovering from right shoulder surgery.

Manager Ron Washington told reporters before the team’s spring training game against the Chicago Cubs that Neto likely will start the season on the injured list, an anticipated move after Neto had the procedure in November.
