Stays busy on basepaths
Benge went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Analyse
The steal was Benge's fourth of the season in nine games, but the rookie outfielder is struggling to make an impact with his bat, going 3-for-30 (.100) with a 4:11 BB:K. A groundball rate of 57.9 percent and a 3.3 degree launch angle are also contributing to his struggles. The Mets aren't going to pull the plug on the top prospect any time soon, but Benge is looking a little overmatched at the plate to begin his big-league career.

Nabs third steal
Benge went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Giants.
Analyse
The rookie outfielder is finding ways to contribute while he waits for his bat to get going. Benge is batting just .130 (3-for-23) through seven games, but he's chipped in one homer, two RBI, three runs and three steals in three attempts.

Getting first day off
Benge is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Analyse
With lefty Matthew Liberatore on the bump, the left-handed-hitting Benge will exit the starting nine for the first time this season as the Mets wrap up their series in St. Louis. Tyrone Taylor will step in as the Mets' starter in right field in place of Benge, who has opened his big-league career by going 3-for-17 with a solo home run and two stolen bases.
