July 21, 2025 2:49 PM : Benson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: Following Jake Fraley's return from the injured list shortly before the All-Star break, Benson appears to have faded into a fourth-outfielder role. The left-handed-hitting Benson will take a seat for the fifth straight game, with the Reds facing three lefties and two righties during that stretch.
