  • Reds' Will Benson: Homers in win

    Rotowire

    Benson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

    Benson homered and donned the celebratory Viking helmet for the fourth time this season. He's scuffled since the middle of the month and entered Saturday's contest on a 3-for-32 (.094) stretch. Despite the struggles, Benson was recently elevated to leadoff against right-handers, but it's unclear if the experiment will continue. The lefty-hitting outfielder is 4-for-21 (.190) with a .227 on-base percentage in five games as the leadoff hitter.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Delivers against lefty

    Rotowire

    Benson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-4 win over Philadelphia.

    Benson put the Reds on the board with a solo home run in the third inning off righty Spencer Turnbull, but his biggest hit came three innings later. The lefty hitter delivered the go-ahead run with two outs off lefty Matt Strahm. Benson was a platoon player in 2023 but is getting more opportunities against southpaws this season. It's not always pretty -- 4-for-22 off them thus far -- but manager David Bell let him stay in the game at a high-leverage moment. Benson, who snapped a career-worst 0-for-18 skid in Tuesday's win over the Phillies, is 3-for-9 in the series heading into the finale Thursday afternoon.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Exits starting nine

    Rotowire

    Benson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    With left-hander Ranger Suarez on the mound for the Phillies, Reds manager David Bell will give the lefty-hitting Benson a day off and stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Bubba Thompson will pick up a start in the outfield in Benson's stead.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Takes turn at leadoff

    Rotowire

    Benson batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Angels.

    Benson took over the leadoff duties due to Jonathan India (illness) being unavailable. A season that started promising in March has gone south quickly. His average dropped to .186 following Sunday's 0-fer, and Benson's gone 16 at-bats without a hit.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Sitting versus southpaw

    Rotowire

    Benson is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

    With the Angels sending left-hander Patrick Sandoval to the mound Saturday, Bubba Thompson will start in right field and bat ninth. Benson has started in each of the Reds' last five games, going 3-for-17 with five walks and three stolen bases over that span.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Idle against lefty

    Rotowire

    Benson isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's matchup against the White Sox.

    Southpaw Garrett Crochet will take the mound for Chicago, forcing the lefty-hitting Benson into the dugout to begin the game. Spencer Steer, Bubba Thompson and Stuart Fairchild will start across the Reds' outfield while Benson rests.
