• Mets' Carson Benge: Shines at plate Wednesday

  Rotowire Feb 26, 2026

  Benge went 3-for-3 in the Mets' Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals on Wednesday. The 23-year-old hit leadoff, and while all three of Benge's knocks were singles, they all came in two-strike counts as he saw a total of 19 pitches over the three plate appearances. Benge is being given a real chance to win the starting job in right field during camp, and performances like this can only help his case. He slashed .282/.389/.467 between High-A, Double-A and Triple-A in 2025 with a 13.5 percent walk rate and a 17.5 percent strikeout rate, adding 14 homers and 24 steals on 28 attempts in 116 games.

• Mets' Carson Benge: Invited to MLB spring training

  Rotowire Feb 9, 2026

  The Mets have extended Benge an invitation to big-league camp during spring training. Benge is firmly in the mix to be the Mets' Opening Day left fielder, though he may need a strong showing in the Grapefruit League to break camp with the big club. The 23-year-old top prospect slashed .281/.385/.472 with 15 home runs, 22 stolen bases and a 68:92 BB:K over 116 games covering three levels in the minors last season. With the Mets signing Bo Bichette earlier this offseason to be their everyday third baseman, Brett Baty has been working out in left field this offseason, and if Baty proves capable of handling the position in the spring, he would appear to represent the top threat to Benge. Tyrone Taylor and MJ Melendez will also provide competition to Benge and Baty in left field.

• Mets' Carson Benge: Getting shot at Opening Day roster

  Rotowire Nov 11, 2025

  President of baseball operations David Stearns said Tuesday that Benge will have an opportunity to make the Mets' Opening Day roster during spring training, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports. Benge began 2025 at High-A Brooklyn but made it to Triple-A Syracuse by the end of the season, slashing .282/.389/.467 with 14 homers, 69 RBI, 85 runs scored and 24 steals between three affiliates. However, his progress noticeably stalled at Syracuse, where he posted just a .583 OPS over 103 Triple-A plate appearances. Although the 22-year-old's rapid ascent through New York's farm system will give him a chance to win the center field job in Queens, the club may want to see Benge perform better at Triple-A before calling him up to the bigs.

• Mets' Carson Benge: Returns from IL

  Rotowire Aug 30, 2025

  Tenge (undisclosed) has gone 2-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run in two games for Triple-A Syracuse since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday. Tenge missed just under two weeks of action while tending to an unspecified injury. Since getting bumped up from Double-A Binghamton to Syracuse earlier this month, the 22-year-old outfield prospect is slashing .250/.348/.400 through six games, with Friday's homer being his first at the Triple-A level.

• Mets' Carson Benge: Lands on IL at Triple-A

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2025

  Benge was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday with an undisclosed injury. Benge had played only four games with Syracuse upon his promotion from Double-A Binghamton before going down with the injury. It's not clear what exactly he's dealing with or how long he'll be out, but the injury doesn't help Benge's already-long odds of making his major-league debut in 2025. The 22-year-old has slashed .306/.413/.504 with 12 homers and 20 steals across three minor-league levels this season.

• Mets' Carson Benge: Bumped up to Double-A

  Rotowire Jun 22, 2025

  The Mets promoted Benge from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. Benge will take a step up to Double-A after batting .302/.417/.480 with four home runs and 15 stolen bases over 60 games with Brooklyn. A first-round selection in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft in 2024, Benge could be in line to reach the big leagues at some point in 2026.

• Mets' Carson Benge: Pushing for promotion

  Rotowire May 19, 2025

  Benge went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI for High-A Brooklyn on Sunday. The 22-year-old appears to be ready for his next challenge. Over his last 20 games for the Cyclones, Benge is slashing .382/.495/.618 with three homers and eight steals in 10 attempts, and he's drawn more walks (18) than strikeouts (15). The 2024 first-round pick is only 47 games into his pro career, but a promotion to Double-A Binghamton would seem to be right around the corner.
