"I think Carson is having a nice camp. He's worked very hard. We've seen what we would've expected. He's taken competitive at-bats, he's a tough out, I think he's played a nice right field. He's done what we've expected him to do. I think he's going to be a really good player, and we're going to have a difficult decision as we get toward the end of camp."
"I expect him to contribute to our team this year. There's no question about that. The way he's developed throughout his professional career indicates that he's reaching that level. Whether that's on Opening Day or not, I don't know."
"All indications that we have is this is going as planned. We have a similar level of optimism that he'll be ready for Opening Day."
Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns praised prospect Carson Benge's spring training performance, highlighting his competitive at-bats, tough approach, and solid right field play. Benge advanced rapidly through the minor leagues last year, batting .281 with 15 home runs and 22 stolen bases across three levels. In Grapefruit League play, he is hitting .350 with three runs scored. Stearns expects Benge to contribute this season and indicated he is likely to make the team, though the exact timing remains uncertain. Additionally, star shortstop Francisco Lindor is progressing well in his recovery from hamate bone surgery and remains on track for Opening Day availability.
