vSEATTLE -- Make way for Andrew Benintendi with the Boston Red Sox.After refusing to include Benintendi in any deals before the trade deadline, the Red Sox plan to call up their 2015 first-round draft pick and top outfield prospect from Double-A Portland on Tuesday to join their road trip in Seattle, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski confirmed to ESPN late Monday night.Benintendi, 22, is batting .312 with 31 doubles, 12 triples, nine home runs and a .910 OPS in 97 games between two minor league levels this season. He was promoted to Double-A on May 15, and after a slow start, hes 54-for-159 with 14 doubles, four triples, eight homers, 19 walks, only 17 strikeouts and a 1.037 OPS in his past 43 games.Benintendi was ranked No. 3 by ESPN in Keith Laws midseason Top 50 prospects.Asked earlier Monday if he expected either Benintendi or fellow top prospect Yoan Moncada to make a contribution at the big league level this season, Dombrowski said, Maybe. It could be. Theyre close enough that they could be. Im not making that prediction, but they could be.In late June, Dombrowski balked at the idea of rushing Benintendi to the big leagues after veteran outfielder Chris Young strained his hamstring. It wasnt so much that Dombrowski was averse to calling players up directly from Double-A, but rather that he believed Benintendi needed more at-bats at that level.But the wheels were set in motion for Benintendis eventual call-up when he began playing left field last month for Portland. Injuries to Brock Holt, Young and Blake Swihart have forced the Red Sox to use six left fielders. Lately, Holt has been splitting time in left field with righty-swinging Bryce Brentz, who was batting .288 with one homer and seven RBIs entering Monday nights series opener against the Seattle Mariners.Benintendis arrival will allow the Red Sox to take advantage of Holts versatility and use him in the utility role in which hes most effective.The Red Sox have not called up a player directly from Double-A since center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made the team out of spring training in 2013 without having played at Triple-A. Bradley went 3-for-31 with 12 strikeouts in his first 12 games and was promptly sent to Triple-A.By calling up Benintendi now, the Red Sox are hoping for a jolt similar to the one provided by shortstop Xander Bogaerts when he was called up in August 2013. Bogaerts wasnt an everyday player immediately but took over as the third baseman midway through the playoffs and helped the Red Sox win the World Series. Vans Outlet Clearance .

KINGSTON, R.I. -- Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley thought the key to his players making shots was the way they selected them.Im not sure we took any bad shots, he said Monday night after the 21st-ranked Rams beat Marist 107-65 in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament.I just think these guys really enjoy playing together, Hurley added after URI shot 56 percent from the field -- including 12 of 21 from 3-point range. I dont think they want to let each other down by being a pig or being selfish, because they all care about one another.E.C. Matthews scored 22 points for the Rams (2-0), shooting 8 of 10 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range. Hassan Martin had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Kuran Iverson and Jared Terrell scored 14 apiece for Rhode Island in its first appearance in The Associated Press Top 25 since 2007-08.Matthews said the players know they dont have to take a shot if its not there.Playing with great guards and great forwards, youve just got to rotate the ball, he said.Khallid Hart scored 19 points and Brian Parker had 18 for Marist (0-2).The Red Foxes scored the first five points of the game and led 7-2 before URI reeled off 16 in a row.

Dartmouth led 12-11 with 5 minutes gone in the opener before the Rams pulled away.Minus a slow, kind of sluggish defensive start, I thought we hung in there, Hurley said. We got on the first group about their start. We didnt like it against Dartmouth. We cant continue to dig holes for ourselves.STATSURI shot 57 percent from 3-point range. The Rams had 21 assists to seven for Marist, and outrebounded the Red Foxes 43-21.That was one of our goals, Hurley said.
