Benge was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday with an undisclosed injury.
Benge had played only four games with Syracuse upon his promotion from Double-A Binghamton before going down with the injury. It's not clear what exactly he's dealing with or how long he'll be out, but the injury doesn't help Benge's already-long odds of making his major-league debut in 2025. The 22-year-old has slashed .306/.413/.504 with 12 homers and 20 steals across three minor-league levels this season.

Mets' Carson Benge: Moving up to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets promoted Benge from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.
Benge is one of four of the Mets' top prospects who will be making the move to Syracuse, as first baseman Ryan Clifford, infielder Jett Williams and right-hander Jonah Tong also received promotions from Binghamton. The 22-year-old Benge began the season at High-A Brooklyn and continued to mash for Binghamton upon moving up to the Double-A level in late June, slashing .317/.407/.571 with eight home runs and four stolen bases over 145 plate appearances.
Benge went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old top prospect has hit safely in 11 of the last 12 games for Binghamton, slashing a blistering .431/.525/.784 over that stretch with three doubles, five homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs and more walks (nine) than strikeouts (eight). After tearing up High-A pitching to earn a promotion in June and having even more success at Double-A, Benge could find himself bumped up to Triple-A Syracuse before the season is over, and a 2026 big-league debut is firmly on the table.
The Mets promoted Benge from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton on Sunday.
Benge will take a step up to Double-A after batting .302/.417/.480 with four home runs and 15 stolen bases over 60 games with Brooklyn. A first-round selection in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft in 2024, Benge could be in line to reach the big leagues at some point in 2026.

Mets' Carson Benge: Pushing for promotion
Rotowire
Benge went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI for High-A Brooklyn on Sunday.
The 22-year-old appears to be ready for his next challenge. Over his last 20 games for the Cyclones, Benge is slashing .382/.495/.618 with three homers and eight steals in 10 attempts, and he's drawn more walks (18) than strikeouts (15). The 2024 first-round pick is only 47 games into his pro career, but a promotion to Double-A Binghamton would seem to be right around the corner.

Mets' Carson Benge: Heating up at High-A
Rotowire
Benge went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base for High-A Brooklyn on Tuesday.
The 19th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft is finding his groove in the South Atlantic League. Benge has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, and over his last 12 games for the Cyclones he's slashing .314/.375/.451 with four doubles, a homer, a steal, six RBI and 10 runs. Given his college background, the 22-year-old may not be far away from a promotion to Double-A if he keeps raking.
