Mets' Carson Benge: Stays busy on basepaths
Benge went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Giants.
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.

Mets' Carson Benge: Nabs third steal
Benge went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Giants.
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.

Mets' Carson Benge: Getting first day off
Benge is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
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.

Mets' Carson Benge: Swipes second bag during win
Benge went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win against the Cardinals.
Benge continued his fast start to the season, collecting two hits and swiping his second stolen base of the year. The 23-year-old later came around to score in the fifth inning on an RBI single from Bo Bichette. The rookie has carried over his impressive spring, where he slashed .366/.435/.439, and is quickly establishing himself as a contributor early in his MLB career.

Mets' Carson Benge: Makes immediate impact in debut
Benge went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Pirates.
Starting in right field and batting eighth in his big-league debut, the 23-year-old top prospect got hold of a first-pitch sweeper from Justin Lawrence in the sixth inning and drove it into the bullpen in right-center field. In the process, Benge became just the second Met in history to homer on Opening Day in his first MLB game, joining Kazuo Matsui. Benge struck out in his other two plate appearances, but that won't take anything away from a dazzling debut as he makes a very early statement that he should viewed as a favorite to win the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Mets' Carson Benge: Starting in right field Opening Day
The Mets selected Benge's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
The Mets have long been telegraphing Benge as their likely Opening Day right fielder, and Mike Tauchman's knee injury essentially cinched the job for Benge. The 23-year-old Benge slashed .366/.435/.439 with one stolen base and a 4:9 BB:K over 46 Grapefruit League plate appearances. A left-handed hitter, Benge could cede starts to Tyrone Taylor versus southpaws, but the bulk of the playing time in right field will go to the rookie.

Mets' Carson Benge: Probable Opening Day starter
Benge is expected to be the Mets' Opening Day starter in right field, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old's main competition for the job, Mike Tauchman, will miss out on a roster spot as a result of a knee injury that will require surgery. Benge may have won the spot outright anyway despite the fact that he has yet to make his major-league debut, as he's batted .368 (14-for-38) this spring with a 4:7 BB:K and some impressive defensive work in right field.

Mets' Carson Benge: Expected to make roster
Benge is likely to make the Mets' Opening Day roster, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
The Mets have already optioned MJ Melendez to the minors, but Mike Tauchman remains in camp as the club has yet to make anything official regarding the season-opening roster. It's possible both outfielders land on the 26-man roster if New York goes short on the infield. Benge has put his best foot forward during spring training with a .406/.472/.500 slash line through 11 Grapefruit League games, which gives him a chance not just to make the roster but begin the year with a regular role.

Mets' Carson Benge: On base four times Monday
Benge went 2-for-2 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
Getting the start in right field and batting leadoff, Benge put together another impressive performance. The 23-year-old has done everything he's needed to do so far in camp to show he's ready to begin the season in the majors, slashing a sizzling .406/.472/.500 through 36 plate appearances with a 3:5 BB:K.
