The San Diego Padres have re-assigned Wes Benjamin to minor league camp.

Fantasy Impact

Although Benjamin did not allow an earned run in 4.2 innings, he struck out just one batter while giving up four walks and posting a 1.71 WHIP. He will look to improve his control in the minors and aim for a potential call-up during the season.

Wes Benjamin is at the Padres camp as a non-roster invitee.

Fantasy Impact

Benjamin pitched the past three seasons in the KBO for the KT Wiz. He last pitched in the MLB for the Rangers in the 2021 season.

Rangers reliever Wes Benjamin, who was tasked with starting Saturday's game against the Athletics on short notice, allowed six runs over 3.1 innings of work. His final line included six hits, two walks, four strikeouts, three homers, and the no-decision. Texas ultimately defeated Oakland by a score of 8-6.

Fantasy Impact

Benjamin is 0-2 with an 8.59 ERA, 2.05 WHIP, and .305 OBA through 22 innings of work this season. He has struck out 19 batters and walked 17.

Rangers starter Wes Benjamin exited after just 1.2 innings of work against the Astros on Friday. During that time, he surrendered three runs on three hits. He also walked three batters and struck out two.

Fantasy Impact

This was Benjamin's first start of the year as he's normally a reliever, so he wasn't expected to last too far into the game anyways. Still, the team surely hoped he could have retired more than five batters. The 27-year-old southpaw fell to 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA, 2.18 WHIP, and .269 OBA through 7.1 innings. He also has nine walks and seven strikeouts to his name.

Rangers pitcher Wes Benjamin couldn't keep Texas in the game on Saturday. Over two innings of relief work, he allowed two runs, three hits, and two walks. Benjamin was ultimately hit with the loss.

Fantasy Impact

This was Benjamin's second outing of the season. Last Sunday, he threw 2.1 innings of one-hit, scoreless baseball while striking out three. He was not nearly as successful this time around, but he'll look to bounce back this week.
