Mets Rookie Outfielder Carson Benge Leaves Game with Left Wrist Soreness After Making Sliding Catch

Benge was 2-for-2 with a run and two RBIs before leaving after a sliding catch into the wall, the Mets said.

  • On Friday, New York Mets rookie outfielder Carson Benge exited the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with left wrist soreness, removed in the bottom of the fourth inning.
  • Benge appeared to jam his wrist in the third inning after sliding backward into the wall to rob Ronny Simon of extra bases, showing clear discomfort on the ground.
  • Before his departure, the 23-year-old rookie went two-for-two with a run and two RBI. This season, Benge has slashed.270/.330/.412 with 13 home runs and 46 RBI across 112 games.
  • Manager Andy Green told reporters, "We'll see how he wakes up in the morning and determine if he needs potentially more tests." Green noted the wrist is currently stiff.
  • Losing Benge would be a major blow for The Mets, who are already missing Juan Soto, sidelined since July 25 with a left calf strain.
