Jake Bennett

Jake Bennett took the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday after allowing two runs on three hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. The left-hander surrendered both runs in the third inning following a leadoff double and a single but otherwise kept Toronto’s lineup in check. Bennett generated six whiffs with his fastball and five more with his changeup.

Fantasy Impact

Bennett’s strong command was on display, as he worked 5.1 innings without a walk while limiting the Blue Jays to three hits. He was removed after 79 pitches and is currently lined up for a two-start week with outings against the Rockies at Coors Field and the Yankees.

The Red Sox have off days Thursday and Monday, giving them flexibility in how they manage the rotation. Bennett is making a case for holding Brayan Bello's spot, and if Boston stays in turn, he would face Toronto next Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Bennett held Tampa Bay to one run through four innings before a leadoff double in the fifth triggered a chaotic frame — a bunt single, an infield single, and an infield double that bounced off Bennett's leg combined to score three runs. He struck out four and issued one intentional walk across five innings in the loss.
