Jake Bennett - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Clean outing in bulk relief Bennett didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing three hits and a walk over 3.2 scoreless innings of relief. He struck...

Impact The southpaw took the mound to begin the third inning after opener Alec Gamboa had coughed up three runs, and Bennett steadied the ship for the Red Sox as they mounted a comeback, although he was no longer the pitcher of record when his team finally took the lead. Bennett's role on Boston's postseason staff isn't yet clear, but a 4.91 ERA since the beginning of August suggests he could be headed for the bullpen.

Fans seven in no-decision Bennett took a no-decision Wednesday against Texas, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Bennett kept the ball in the park after serving up five homers in his prior two starts, but he was instead tagged for a trio of doubles Wednesday. The rookie southpaw is showing signs of fatigue late in the season, surrendering at least three runs in all but one of his last 13 outings. He'll take a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 90:20 K:BB over 109.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Cleveland, which will be a key matchup in the American League playoff race.

Burned by long ball in loss Bennett (9-7) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Bennett was stung by the long ball Wednesday, serving up a trio of home runs. The left-hander registered his fewest punchouts since May 7 versus the Rays, and he also saw a streak of three quality starts come to an end. Bennett has conceded five big flies in just two starts to begin the month of September, which is a bit of a concern after he surrendered just two over five starts in August. He still has a quality 3.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 83:19 K:BB over 105 innings.

Locks in for quality start Bennett took a no-decision against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Impact After serving up back-to-back solo home runs to begin the fourth inning, Bennett responded by retiring all nine of the final batters he faced Thursday. Despite getting a quick hook -- the 68 pitches were his second fewest of 2026 -- the southpaw went deep enough for his third consecutive quality start. He's set to take a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:18 K:BB over 99.2 innings into a favorable home matchup versus the Angels.

Impact Bennett breezed through his six frames, throwing 59 of 83 pitches for strikes and scattering three hits. He racked up 14 whiffs and finished with his second straight quality start. It was the fourth scoreless outing of six-plus innings in what has been a very promising rookie campaign for the southpaw. He'll carry a 3.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 74:18 K:BB over 93.2 innings spanning 16 starts into his next appearance, which is lined up to be a road tilt in Baltimore.

Credited with eighth win Bennett (8-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over seven innings against the Giants. He struck out six.

Impact Bennett ran into trouble early, surrendering three runs across the first two innings, but settled in to complete seven frames as part of a winning effort. The rookie's effectiveness had been waning of late, as he posted a 5.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 27 innings in his previous five starts entering Sunday. With an overall 3.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 67:18 K:BB across 87.2 innings (15 starts), the southpaw is tentatively slated to pitch next weekend on the road against the Yankees.

Struggles continue Friday Bennett (7-6) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings as the Red Sox fell 8-4 to the Pirates. He struck out six.

Impact The rookie left-hander gave up a solo shot early to Rafael Flores, but the wheels really came off in the fourth when four of the first five Pittsburgh batters rattled hits off Bennett, including a two-run double by Esmerlyn Valdez. Bennett has been tagged for at least three runs in five straight trips to the mound, stumbling to a 5.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB in 27 innings over that stretch. He'll try to turn things around in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Diamondbacks.

Falls to A's on Saturday Bennett (7-5) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings as the Red Sox were downed 7-3 by the A's. He struck out five.

Impact After an impressive beginning to his career, big-league hitters may have figured Bennett out. The left-hander has been tagged for at least three runs in four straight outings, stumbling to a 5.09 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB over 23 innings. He has worked at least five innings in all 13 of his starts for Boston, however, and with the team's pitching depth depleted by trades and injuries, his spot in the rotation seems secure even if his performance continues to regress. Bennett lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in Pittsburgh.

Picks up seventh win Bennett (7-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Impact Bennett ran into trouble during a three-run third inning but was able to work through it and turn in a strong enough outing to pick up his seventh win. The soft-tossing southpaw has been steady and reliable as a rookie, allowing three or fewer runs in 10 of 12 starts while logging at least five innings in each outing. Across 71.1 innings, Bennett owns a 2.90 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB and is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Athletics.
