May 15, 2025 5:18 PM : Benson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a two-RBI single during Thursday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.
Analysis: Benson has bounced back and forth between the MLB and Triple-A this season, but he's seen extended action recently as TJ Friedl (wrist) and Jake Fraley (calf) tend to injuries. Thursday's contest marked Benson's first big-league homer and first multi-hit game of the 2025 campaign. Since being called up Friday, Benson has gone 5-for-14 (.357) with three extra-base hits at the plate.
