Red Sox face decisions on Jake Bennett's postseason role
Summary

The Boston Red Sox are considering how to utilize pitcher Jake Bennett in the postseason following a recent performance during a 7-3 loss to the Texas Rangers. Bennett recorded seven strikeouts but allowed eight hits over 4.2 innings, raising questions about his role. With ten games remaining in the regular season, the Red Sox may opt to keep him sidelined or transition him into a relief role as they prepare for a potential Wild Card Series. The emergence of other pitchers like Ranger Suarez puts Bennett's spot in the rotation in jeopardy.
