Sitting against righty
France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
The Reds' recent additions of Dominic Smith and Amed Rosario look to have cost France some playing time, as France will head to the bench Wednesday for the third time in the past six matchups with right-handed pitchers. France should continue to replace Smith at first base when the Reds face lefties, but Smith looks to be the preferred option at the position versus righties, and manager David Bell could rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot.

Taking seat Sunday
France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Analysis
Though the Reds have two everyday spots available in the lineup with Jake Fraley (knee) and Jeimer Candelario (toe) landing on the injured list, France has still found himself squeezed out of the starting nine on occasion. He'll be on the bench for the second time in three matchups with right-handed pitching, as the Reds are making room in the lineup for new acquisitions Dominic Smith and Amed Rosario at the expense of France. Since being acquired by Cincinnati in late July, France is slashing .239/.284/.433 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs through 21 games.

Sitting down Thursday
France isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game versus Pittsburgh.
Analysis
France will get a breather during Thursday's series opener after going 2-for-11 with two RBI and two runs scored in Cincinnati's last series against Toronto. The newly signed Dominic Smith will get the nod to start at first base while Jonathan India serves as the DH, allowing Santiago Espinal to cover second.
