Promoted Sunday The Reds recalled Benson from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact The 27-year-old was demoted to Louisville a couple weeks ago but is back with the Reds after Jake Fraley (knee) was designated for assignment. Benson has a .224/.269/.415 slash line with nine homers in 61 MLB games this season and should step in as Cincinnati's No. 4 outfielder.

Sent back to Triple-A The Reds optioned Benson to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact After Saturday's MLB Speedway Classic was suspended in the first inning due to rain, the Reds will be in need of an extra arm for the continuation of the contest Sunday. Having two minor-league options appears to have worked against Benson, who will head to the minors as Cincinnati brings right-hander Lyon Richardson aboard as its 27th man for the Speedway Classic. As a result of being optioned, Benson won't be eligible to rejoin the Reds for at least 10 days, unless another player is placed on a reserve list in a corresponding move.

Productive in Friday's win Benson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact He took reliever Dylan Dodd the other way in the seventh inning for his ninth long ball of the season, and his second off a left-handed pitcher. Benson remains a strong-side platoon player for the most part, but he's been struggling of late even in that role -- over 20 games since the beginning of July he's batting just .206 (13-for-63) with 0:18 BB:K.

Losing out on playing time Benson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Impact 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.
