Difo is not in the lineup Sunday against the Braves, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports. Despite being a switch hitter, Difo is significantly better as a left-handed hitter this season (.728 OPS) than as a right-handed hitter (.478 OPS). As such, he'll head to the bench to avoid facing a left-handed pitcher, allowing Adrian Sanchez a chance to start at the keystone.

Difo is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Thursday. Difo will head to the bench after going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts during Wednesday's contest versus Philadelphia. In his place, Adrian Sanchez will handle the keystone and bat seventh.

Difo is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. Difo will take a seat for the second set of Tuesday's twin bill after going 0-for-3 with a walk in Game 1. Adrian Sanchez will pick up a start at the keystone in his absence.

Difo is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs. Difo is hitting just .167 against left-handed pitchers this season, so he'll stick on the bench for the second half of Saturday's twin bill with southpaw Cole Hamels toeing the rubber for the Cubs. Adrian Sanchez is starting at the keystone in his place.
