Will Benson Gets Rest Day On Friday
1 year agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for the left-handed slugger. Benson has been hot at the plate since the start of June. He's slashing .333/.492/.533 with two homers and five RBI in 23 games. Jake Fraley will fill in at right field and bat fifth versus right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver on Friday. The expectation is that Benson will return to the lineup after this game.
