Reaches base four times Wednesday Benintendi went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base in a 7-4 victory against the Astros on Wednesday.
Impact Benintendi once again worked as an offensive catalyst near the top of the lineup, reaching base in all but one of his five plate appearances and scoring three of the team's seven runs. The veteran outfielder finished with his seventh multi-hit appearance over his past nine games, and he's batting a robust .485 (16-for-33) during that stretch. Benintendi has only three homers and two stolen bases on the campaign, but with a .316/.387/.404 slash line, he's built considerable value with the trade deadline less than a month away.

Posts three hits, two RBI Monday Benintendi went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Astros.
Impact Benintendi has multiple hits in six of his last seven games. He's gone 13-for-26 (.500) in that span, but only one of those hits has gone for extra bases (a double). It's more of the same for the veteran outfielder, who has maintained a strong .314 batting average with a rather pedestrian .780 OPS through 77 contests. He's added three home runs, 31 RBI, 30 runs scored, a stolen base, 12 doubles and two triples while regularly slotting in as the Royals' No. 2 hitter.

Semien, Gray lead Rangers to 8-3 win over struggling Royals
Marcus Semien homered and drove in four runs, Jon Gray pitched seven effective innings and the Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 8-3JUNE 29, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cleared to start Tuesday Benintendi (knee) will start in left field and bat second Tuesday against the Rangers.
Impact Benintendi was forced out of Monday's 10-4 loss in the series opener after banging his knee during a slide, but his early exit was described as precautionary. His inclusion in the lineup a day later seemingly supports that notion, so fantasy managers shouldn't have much reason to fret about his health moving forward. Benintendi is batting an excellent .299 on the season, but his production in the counting-stats categories (28 runs, 26 RBI, three home runs and one stolen base in 71 games) has been disappointing.

Royals to break losing streak in matchup with the Rangers
The Kansas City Royals aim to stop their three-game losing streak when they take on the Texas RangersJUNE 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Precautionary exit Benintendi exited Monday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers after banging his knee on a slide, but he is expected to be fine moving forward, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Mike Matheny said he took Benintendi out of the game once the outcome was fairly well established in order to get the outfielder some extra rest. However, the injury doesn't appear to be anything serious and it would be reasonable to expect Benintendi in the lineup Tuesday.
