Andrew Benintendi News
Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi (knee) was removed in the eighth inning of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. He fouled a ball off his right knee in the bottom of the eighth inning. He finished his at-bat and drew a walk, but was replaced on the base paths by Hanser Alberto. Benintendi could have just been removed as a precaution. We should know more about the severity of the injury soon. The 27-year-old hit his 17th home run of the year in the first inning of Tuesday's game. He's slashing .275/.318/.442 over 129 games on the year.

2020 was not the year anyone expected for Boston Red Sox outfielderAndrew Benintendi. After slashing .266/.343/.431 in 138 games in 2019, the 26-year-old only played in 14 games due to a rib-cage strain. While he has a solid walk rate (21.2%), his strikeout rate (32.7% in 2020) has increased over the past three seasons. Benintendi is a free agent after 2022, but he is currently on the Red Sox's radar to trade. It is unknown how that would affect his play, but the injury will be something to monitor this spring. As of now, he has a place with the Red Sox, but his fantasy stock is down after he slashed just .103/.314/.128 in his 14 games last season. At a current ADP of 226 and just outside the top-50 fantasy outfielders, fantasy managers should consider buying low when it comes to Benintendi, especially if he remains in Boston.
