Andrew Benintendi LF

Benintendi went 2-for-2 with four walks, four runs scored, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Royals.

The 24-year-old is now up to 14 homers, putting him just six off last year's total of 20. He's also swiped 16 bases (20 last season). To date in 2018, Benintendi's been a top-five fantasy outfielder.

Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Royals.

Benintendi was back in the lineup Friday after getting a two-day break, including the team's off day Thursday. The downtime may have helped him post his first multi-hit effort in 12 games. The decision to give him a break was likely borne out the outfielder's recent struggles, as Benintendi entered Friday's game having gone 7-for-42 (.167) over 11 games.

Benintendi is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals.

Red Sox skipper Alex Cora will give Benintendi and Xander Bogaerts the day off for Wednesday's early game after both played all nine innings in Tuesday's 11-4 victory. Benintendi scored two runs and went 1-for-5 on the evening, dropping his average to .212 over a stretch of 16 consecutive starts. With Benintendi picking up some rest and no designated-hitter spot available in the lineup, J.D. Martinez will man left field.

Benintendi went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts in Thursday's rout of the Twins.

After going 0-for-7 in the first two games, Benintendi salvaged his series by going yard for the first time since June 12. He did strike out three times, but that's uncharacteristic for Benintendi as he's fanned three-or-more times in a game on just three other occasions this season. This weekend, Benintendi and the Red Sox will face the Mariners for the second time in a week.

Benintendi went 3-for-4 with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Boston's 9-3 victory over Seattle on Sunday.

Benintendi had gone hitless in his last eight at-bats coming into the game, but he got right back to his hot-hitting ways of recent weeks with this three-hit effort that also saw him pocket his 12th steal of the year. He's having a terrific season at the plate so far, with a .299/.383/.542 slash line to go along with 12 homers, 18 doubles and five triples through 264 at-bats.
