Will Benson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Reds' 8-4 victory over the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a crucial home run that contributed to the team's win, though he also struck out twice. Despite a challenging season with a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .198, this game could be a sign of potential turnaround for Benson. His power numbers are decent with four homers and 10 RBI in 25 games, but his high strikeout rate of .392 remains a significant concern for fantasy managers. Benson's ability to mix in some power and speed (five stolen bases) keeps him on the radar in deeper leagues, but he'll need more consistent contact to become a reliable fantasy starter.
