Carson Benge Joins Mets Outfield in Roster Shakeup

Carson Benge is set to start in right field and bat leadoff for the New York Mets as the team attempts to improve upon their 15-25 start. Alongside fellow rookie A.J. Ewing, Benge has been integrated into the outfield despite limited time at the Triple-A level. The move represents a key roster concession by David Stearns as the organization looks to spark an offense that has struggled to produce runs early in the 2026 season.
