Moved down to five spot Benge will start in right field and bat fifth in Friday's contest in Atlanta.

The timing is interesting, given that Benge has a seven-game hitting streak going and is slashing .304/.350/.500 across his last 13 contests.

Through 343 plate appearances, Benge is slashing a middling .259/.318/.402 with 10 homers, 34 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 45 runs scored.
