| August 6, 2008 Joaquin Benoit will be activated from the DL to replace the injured C.J. Wilson on the roster, according to the AP. Wilson is headed for the DL due to bone spurs in his left elbow. |
| July 5, 2008 The Rangers have placed Joaquin Benoit on the 15-day DL due to a sore right shoulder, the Dallas Morning News reports. The reliever has been battling the injury for most (if not all) of the season. |

| June 18, 2008 Joaquin Benoit threw 35 pitches in a bullpen session on Tuesday, which was his first time on the mound in a week, the Dallas Morning News reports. He is dealing with right shoulder soreness. |
| June 13, 2008 According to the Rangers team website the staff is discussing the possibility of placing pitcher Joaquin Benoit on the disabled list. The hard-throwing right-hander is experiencing soreness in his right shoulder. The Rangers will have to make a move on Saturday because they plan on calling up Kason Gabbard to start against the Mets. |
| May 17, 2008 Joaquin Benoit earned his seventh hold of the season on Friday by setting down the side in the eighth inning. The right-hander has held opponents scoreless in seven of his eight appearances in May. |
| April 25, 2008 Joaquin Benoit pitched a scoreless ninth in Texas' 6-5 win over Minnesota on Friday night. |
| April 19, 2008 Joaquin Benoit picked up the loss and his second blown save of the season by allowing three runs in an inning of work on Saturday. |
| April 10, 2008 Joaquin Benoit struck out three of the four batters he faced in the eighth inning of Thursday's 3-1 win over the Orioles. Benoit replaced starter Kevin Millwood and gave way to closer C.J Wilson in the ninth. |
| March 12, 2008 Joaquin Benoit threw a bullpen session Wednesday and will pitch in a minor league game Saturday, according to the Dallas Morning News. How Benoit fares this weekend could go a long way in determining whether his sore shoulder will allow him to be ready for opening day. |
| March 11, 2008 While the Rangers expect Joaquin Benoit to toss a bullpen session Wednesday and hope he can take part in spring games by this weekend, there's rising doubt about whether he'll be over his sore right shoulder by opening day, according to MLB.com. "We think he's getting there, but it has been slow in coming," Rangers pitching coach Mark Connor said. "My hope is he'll still get his eight innings and be ready for spring training and be ready for opening day, but I have to go according to what he says. If he's not ready to pitch, I have to go with that." A healthy Benoit could end up closing games if expected closer C.J. Wilson isn't over his own ailment. However, Kazuo Fukumori is healthy, pitching great and making his own case to fill in for Wilson. |
| March 10, 2008 Joaquin Benoit, who hasn't pitched an inning this spring due to a sore throwing shoulder, threw 15 pitches in a simulated game on Monday and reported no problems, this according to MLB.com. Benoit still needs to build up arm strength which means he could still be a week away from pitching in a game. |
| March 2, 2008 Joaquin Benoit is about 10 days behind the other Rangers pitchers, pitching coach Mark Conner told the AP. Benoit is not injured, but he skipped winter ball for the first time in his career and is still trying to strengthen his arm. He had a bullpen session Sunday. It was good. I was more in the strike zone, more consistent, Benoit said. Im building up. Its something that is not going to take the whole year. Benoit is a candidate to close for the Rangers, so it would behoove him to get into game action as soon as possible. |
