Luke Maile sitting Wednesday for Cincinnati

What It Means:
Tyler Stephenson will catch for Brandon Williamson and hit sixth again. Matt McLain will shift to designated hitter and Elly De La Cruz will make his first career start at shortstop. Will Benson will replace Maile in the lineup to play left field and hit seventh.
