BOSTON -- Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi underwent a battery of tests from team doctors on his sprained left knee and no structural damage was found, providing more hope that the club's No. 2 prospect will play again this season.
"Yeah, I'm definitely fortunate," said Benintendi. "It looked a lot worse than it actually was, so I feel pretty lucky."
It's too early to say exactly when Benintendi will return. The Red Sox entered Friday's series opener against the Royals with 35 games left in the regular season, hoping there will be a prolonged postseason run to follow.
