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.

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.
