Zack Cozart is getting the night off. Wilson Valdez will play shortstop. Drew Stubbs will be the leadoff hitter.
Cozart is hitting .288 which is coming down after a very hot start but that is not the reason that he is sitting against San Francisco starter, Barry Zito.
"Zito throws soft stuff. Younger players have more trouble with them. Valdez has had some success against him. Stubbs has had success against him," Dusty Baker said.
Valdez is 3-for-10 against Zito with a double and triple. Stubbs is 4-for-8 with a double.
Scott Rolen will get Thursday afternoon off. Todd Frazier will get his first start of the season for the Reds.
