  • Reds' Will Benson: Reworks swing

    Benson reworked his swing during the offseason, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Benson needed to do something to become a more competitive option for the outfield in 2025. He batted .187 (.180 expected average) with a 39.7 strikeout percentage last year. Benson managed to provide some value with 16 steals, though finding playing time may be harder in this season. The Reds recently added outfielder Austin Hays and plan to move Matt McLain to center field; it will be hard for Benson to carve out a regular role with such a crowded mix in the outfield.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Swipes another bag

    Benson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Pirates.

    Benson, who has started just five of 19 games this month, was in the starting lineup for a second straight contest. He singled, stole second base and waltzed home on an Elly De La Cruz home run. The stolen base was Benson's second in as many games and upped his season total to 16.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Steals base in win

    Benson went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Pittsburgh.

    Benson walked to lead off the fourth inning, stole a base and came home on Tyler Stephenson's bases-loaded double. The swipe was Benson's 15th of the season and first in 25 games. His playing time has been erratic over the last few months due to a batting average that has remained below the Mendoza Line since June 19.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Enters as pinch hitter

    Benson entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-2 in a 15-3 loss to Milwaukee.

    Benson, who struck out with a runner in scoring position, stayed in the game as the designated hitter. He had been dealing with a finger injury and hadn't appeared in a game since Sunday.

  • Reds' Will Benson: On bench, but over finger injury

    Benson (finger) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Benson hasn't made a start since being removed from a Sept. 12 game against the Cardinals with a left middle finger injury, but he's appeared off the bench in two contests since then and appears to have moved past the issue. The 26-year-old hasn't been a regular in the Cincinnati lineup in September and will likely see sparse playing time heading into the final week of the season.

  • Reds' Will Benson: Not starting Sunday

    Benson (finger) is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

    Benson is not starting for a third straight game after sustaining an injury to his left middle finger during Thursday's game against the Cardinals. He did enter Saturday's game against the Twins in the bottom of the seventh inning in right field, and he hit an RBI single in the eighth frame. Benson will likely be available out of the dugout for Sunday's series finale, and with the Reds scheduled for an off-day Monday, the 26-year-old could return to the lineup for Cincinnati's upcoming home series against Atlanta.
