Availability
Carson Benge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and two runs scored Sunday against the Phillies. He took Zack Wheeler deep to the opposite field in the third inning.
Fantasy Impact
Benge has seen time out of the leadoff spot after a rough April, and his lineup placement is worth monitoring with Francisco Lindor nearing a return from the injured list due to a calf injury.
Carson Benge went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 15-3 loss to the Phillies with a two-run home run.
Fantasy Impact
Benge has heated back up at the plate, picking up hits in five of his last six contests. The 23-year-old remains one of the more streaky bats in the Mets lineup for manager Carlos Mendoza, slashing .257 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 40 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases across 73 games.
Benge is slashing .265/.325/.408 with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 34 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases across 62 games this season. He came one double shy of the cycle Sunday in the first five-hit performance of his career, recording three singles in his first three at-bats before homering in the sixth inning and tripling in the eighth.
Fantasy Impact
Benge finished 5-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in the 7-3 win over San Diego.
Benge is batting .254 with a .705 OPS, six home runs, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, and nine stolen bases across 58 games this season and has gone 8-for-23 over his last six contests. After a quiet stretch for power through most of May, he has homered in each of his last three games.
Fantasy Impact
Benge accounted for two of the Mets' five hits and all three of their runs Tuesday, finishing 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI, and a walk in the 8-3 loss to Seattle.
Benge showed a lower strikeout rate in May than he did in April and has hit leadoff in 19 consecutive games dating back to May 12, six of which came against left-handed starters. The rookie hit a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the first inning Sunday for his fourth of the season.
Fantasy Impact
He also drew a walk and scored twice in the 10-1 win over Miami.
