Slated to Start Thursday's Series Finale Against the Rays

Jake Bennett is scheduled to take the mound for the Boston Red Sox in Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. The assignment, reported by Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, gives Bennett another opportunity in the rotation as the Red Sox continue their home stand. The team will look for a solid performance from the young pitcher to stabilize the staff following recent bench-clearing incidents and roster fluctuations involving other members of the team.
