Mets Elevate Prospect Carson Benge to Opening Day Right Field

Carson Benge, the Mets’ 2024 19th overall pick, is set to break camp with New York and start Opening Day in right field after the club opened a 40-man spot. A standout Grapefruit League performance helped his case, and his strong defense and speed bolster his upside despite a Triple-A slump last year. With Mike Tauchman injured and MJ Melendez optioned, Benge appears to have the job, and carrying him on the roster could trigger the Prospect Promotion Incentive if he stays in the majors long enough; the Mets still have depth options like Tauchman, Melendez, Young, Morabito, and Bruján as backups.

Fernando Tatis Jr. makes highly anticipated return to Padres lineup.

Fernando Tatis Jr. returns to the San Diego Padres after an 80-game PED suspension and multiple surgeries. He will play in right field, a position he has played briefly in the past, and will bat leadoff. Tatis performed well in his Triple-A rehab assignment, hitting .515/.590/1.212 with seven home runs in eight games. The Padres have struggled offensively this season and hope Tatis can spark their lineup.

Luis Severino's Injury Puts Yankees in a Tough Spot.

Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino will likely start the season on the injured list due to a low-grade lat strain, joining Carlos Rodón and Frankie Montas on the shelf. Top prospect Anthony Volpe is making a strong case for the starting shortstop job, while the Yankees bullpen still has two openings to fill. Aaron Judge tops FanGraphs' preseason positional rankings for right field, but Reggie Jackson, who left his role as a long-time advisor for the Yankees to join the Astros, has opened up about feeling unheard and like a "hood ornament" in his former role.
