BOSTON -- After intimating yesterday that injured left fielder Andrew Benintendi would likely be activated for Wednesdays series finale against Baltimore, Red Sox manager John Farrell instead pulled the trigger a day early, telling reporters at his pregame news conference the rookie will be active for tonights game.After yesterdays work, it became maybe a little more apparent hed be ready to go today, or at least be available, Farrell said. Brock [Holt] is still dealing with a little bit of a shoulder issue after the slide and tag from [Torontos?Edwin] Encarnacion?the other day.The promising 22-year-old twisted his left knee and collapsed in the dirt while trying to avoid a tag in Bostons loss to Tampa Bay on Aug. 24, which looked far worse than the diagnosis. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a knee injury.At the time, we didnt realize how severe the ankle turn was, Farrell said. Which in hindsight, from what weve gathered, might have softened the blow to the knee, so were fortunate it wasnt worse than what it was.Benintendi cleared his last physical test, sliding, before yesterdays game. He faced live pitching in a simulated game this afternoon, which Farrell said was more about just getting his timing down.The true test was sliding, but I had no problem at all, Benintendi said.Given the logjam created in left by Chris Youngs red-hot run (.450 so far in September), its unclear how long itll be before Benintendi makes his next start. He said he hasnt talked with Farrell yet about the plan, but Im sure we will.Benintendi will be wearing a knee brace, but he says there are no restrictions right now, and I dont think there will be [going forward].The Red Soxs 2015 first-round draft pick and former Baseball America College Player of the Year made his impact almost immediately upon getting called up from Double-A Portland on Aug. 2. In 21 games, Benintendi hit .324/.365/.485 with six doubles, one homer and 10 RBIs. He also wowed fans with an acrobatic leaping catch to rob Tampa Bays Steven Souza Jr. of a surefire dinger on Aug. 23 at Tropicana Field -- one day before the knee injury that sent him to the DL.

Fernando Alonso says his Mexican Grand Prix was compromised as soon as Carlos Sainz forced him onto the grass with a strange move on the opening lap.Alonso was fuming on the radio after the incident with his fellow Spaniard, who he enjoyed a duel with in the closing laps of the U.S. Grand Prix this weekend. After that fight Sainz admitted it had been special battling his boyhood hero.The pair nearly came to blows in the opening stages in Mexico, with Sainz moving across in front of the unsighted Alonso, who did well not to lose control of the No. 14 car after jumping across the grass on the exit of Turn 3. Alonso is certain the incident ruined his opening stint at least.We could have passed Sainz during the first lap, but he says he didnt see me when he pushed me onto the grass, he said. I nearly spun in the middle of the field, it was a strange move from his side. That compromised our race, at least the first part of it. We stopped earlier because we spent 40 laps behind Carlos without being able to overtake.Both our cars were stuck behind, so we tried to split the strategies and this time it was my turnn to try a two-stops strategy.dddddddddddd In the end we ended up in the same positions, Jenson and I. but if the first lap had gone down normally maybe we could have fought for points.Sainz, who finished 16th, was handed a five-second penalty for the incident, something he feels was harsh given it occurred in opening corners when cars are going wheel-to-wheel.Probably on the harsh side, because at the start you cannot look 360-degrees, he said post-race. When I saw him I saw him late, but its not like he was side-by-side with me. The overlap was pretty small, and he took it flat out - good for him, it was brave. Ive seen people not get a penalty for much worse.If I put Fernando in a dangerous situation Im sorry for that, but its racing, its lap one. Im not going to give up my position for free, especially when Im nearly one full car [length] ahead. You never expect to have one guy there, close to a kerb on traction with the soft tyre, when you have more grip on the super-soft. ' ' '
