Benintendi not platoon player, just in slump
Andrew Benintendi lines a single into center field that brings home Xander Bogaerts, giving the Red Sox a 2-0 lead in the 1st"I think when we go through a stretch where there's maybe two, three games where you take advantage of your roster, all of a sudden it becomes a platoon," said Farrell. "He's not a platoon player. But you pick spots where guys can maybe spark an offense with Chris Young being inserted. I don't see him as a platoon player."
After a fast start, Benintendi hasn't been able to generate any production in the past three weeks. In his past 64 at-bats entering Thursday, the left-handed hitter slashed .125/.234/.141 with five RBIs and just one extra-base hit, a double.
