25-Year-Old PitcherSP
Boston Red Sox AAA
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

Returns to Triple-A after start
PBoston Red Sox  AAA
May 7, 2026
Bennett was optioned to Triple-A Worcester after Thursday's 8-4 loss to Tampa Bay, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Bennett made his second career major-league start Thursday at home versus the Rays, taking the loss while allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 5.1 innings. The southpaw has combined to pitch 10.1 innings while surrendering four runs in two outings with Boston, and he'll likely get another shot with the major-league roster down the road this season.
