Latest news

  • Benson accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville after clearing waivers Wednesday.

    Benson is no longer a member of the Reds' 40-man roster, but he'll remain in the organization as outfield depth at Triple-A. Cincinnati designated the 28-year-old for assignment last week after he produced a .188/.310/.333 slash line with three home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and 11 runs over 51 games with the big club this season.

  • The Reds designated Benson for assignment Saturday.

    The move comes after the Reds reinstated Hunter Greene (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday. Benson was sent down to Triple-A Louisville in late June after struggling to a .188/.310/.333 slash line with one steal, three homers and six RBI across 113 major-league plate appearances. He's been better in the minors, and Benson could stick around in Cincinnati if he clears waivers.

  • The Reds optioned Benson to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    He's clearing off the active roster to make room for the return of Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) from the injured list. Benson logged only 14 plate appearances in June, but he'll be in line to see regular action at Louisville.

  • Benson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    The left-handed-hitting Benson will be on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with three of those absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. At this point, Benson appears to have faded into a reserve role while the Reds have opened up more playing time in the outfield lately for Blake Dunn and Spencer Steer. The decline in opportunities comes while Benson has slashed just .091/.259/.091 with a 37 percent strikeout rate over his last 11 games.

  • Benson isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    After going just 1-for-20 over his last 11 games, Benson will pick out a seat on the bench to begin the opening half of Saturday's twin bill. While he rests, JJ Bleday, Dane Myers and Blake Dunn will form the Reds' outfield trio.

  • Benson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    The left-handed-hitting Benson had been included in the lineup for each of the Reds' last six matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench against Phillies righty Andrew Painter while Cincinnati goes with a starting outfield of JJ Bleday, TJ Friedl and Spencer Steer from left to right. Second baseman Matt McClain will occupy Benson's usual spot at the top of the batting order.
