Tyler Naquin - Hits bench against leftyNaquin will sit against Atlanta lefty Drew Smyly on Friday.
ImpactNaquin has started just a single game against a southpaw all season, a setup that makes sense given that he owns a career 76 wRC+ against lefties but a 108 mark against righties. Aristides Aquino will handle center field in his absence.
