Andrew Benintendi back in action for Boston

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is starting in left field and batting ninth Thursday versus the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

This is Benintendi's first game since August 24. He suffered what looked to be a severe left knee sprain, but should play regularly over the final couple weeks of the season, assuming the knee holds up.

Benintendi is slashing .324/.365/.485 in 74 plate appearances this season. He made his big league debut on August 2 and has hit one home run, stolen one base and recorded a .362 wOBA with an .850 OPS.
