Reds' Brian O'Grady on bench Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Brian O'Grady is not starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Jason Vargas and the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Michael Lorenzen is replacing O'Grady in center field for his first career start as a position player. O'Grady went 2-for-4 with his first career triple and a run scored on Wednesday evening.

O'Grady is 3-for-16 (.188) through his first 12 games in the majors.
