Bennett didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing three hits and a walk over 3.2 scoreless innings of relief. He struck out one.
The southpaw took the mound to begin the third inning after opener Alec Gamboa coughed up three runs, and Bennett steadied the ship for the Red Sox as they mounted a comeback, although he was no longer the pitcher of record when his team finally took the lead. Bennett's role on Boston's postseason staff isn't yet clear, but a 4.91 ERA since the beginning of August suggests he could be headed for the bullpen.

Bennett took a no-decision Wednesday against Texas, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Bennett kept the ball in the park after serving up five homers in his prior two starts, but he was instead tagged for a trio of doubles Wednesday. The rookie southpaw is showing signs of fatigue late in the season, surrendering at least three runs in all but one of his last 10 outings. He'll take a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 90:20 K:BB over 109.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Cleveland, which will be a key matchup in the American League playoff race.

Bennett (9-7) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out two.
Bennett was stung by the long ball Wednesday, serving up a trio of home runs. The left-hander registered his fewest punchouts since May 7 versus the Rays, and he also saw a streak of three quality starts come to an end. Bennett has conceded five big flies in his first two starts of September, which is a bit of a concern after he surrendered just two over five outings in August. He still has a quality 3.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 83:19 K:BB over 105 innings.

Bennett took a no-decision against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
After serving up back-to-back solo home runs to begin the fourth inning, Bennett responded by retiring the final nine batters he faced Thursday. Despite getting a quick hook -- the 68 pitches were his second fewest of 2026 -- the southpaw went deep enough for his third consecutive quality start. He's set to take a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:18 K:BB over 99.2 innings into a favorable home matchup versus the Angels.

Bennett (9-6) earned the win over the Yankees in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing three hits and notching seven strikeouts without walking any batters over six scoreless innings.
Bennett breezed through his six frames, throwing 59 of 83 pitches for strikes and scattering three hits. He racked up 14 whiffs and finished with his second straight quality start. It was the fourth scoreless outing of six-plus innings in what has been a very promising rookie campaign for the southpaw. He'll carry a 3.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 74:18 K:BB over 93.2 innings spanning 16 starts into his next appearance, which is lined up to be a road tilt in Baltimore.
