25-Year-Old PitcherSP
Boston Red Sox
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bennett pitched well during the 2025 season in his first year back since Tommy John surgery, posting a 2.56 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 33 strikeouts across 45.2 innings at Double-A. He's unlikely to push for an Opening Day roster spot, having made nine starts at Double-A and none at Triple-A, but he could be an option in the rotation or bullpen later in the season. He's a lefty with good command and a good changeup, but he didn't miss many bats at the Double-A level last season, posting just a 17.9 percent strikeout rate. Read Past Outlooks

Hard-luck loss Wednesday
PBoston Red Sox
June 17, 2026
Bennett (1-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
Analysis
Bennett fared well Wednesday, keeping the ball in the yard while firing 55 of his 79 pitches for strikes. The 25-year-old left-hander also gave up a season-low three knocks, fanned a season-high five and even issued no free passes for the first time in four starts this year. Bennett has a 4.79 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB over 20.2 innings and should maintain a rotation spot while Garrett Crochet (shoulder/lat) is sidelined, but a difficult assignment in Colorado awaits Bennett in his next scheduled outing.
