Benson isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against Atlanta.
Southpaw Jared Shuster will start on the mound Saturday for Atlanta, meaning the left-handed bat of Benson will remain in the dugout. Benson -- along with many other Reds players -- is swinging a hot bat currently, so it's still possible he comes off the bench for a pinch-hit opportunity once Atlanta turns to its bullpen.
