Backups

Player Role
Sam Fuld OF against RHP
Eric Sogard IF against RHP

The lineup is weird in its current incarnation, with no obvious choice to play left field against righties: Neither Sogard nor Fuld has hit enough to start, even in a platoon (with the Sogard lineup being, of course, him at second base and Zobrist in left), which has recently left Mark Canha starting against righties more than is strictly ideal.

Despite having both Canha and Smolinski on the roster, Reddick's defense and the good hitting he's done this year have kept him in the lineup even against lefties.
