The bench: INF D’Angelo Jimenez, OF Colby Rasmus, 1B Josh Phelps, OF Amaury Marti, OF Joe Mather, INF David Freese. The bullpen: RHP Ryan Franklin (sporting a buzzed, business-like haircut), RHP Hugo Castellanos, RHP Chris Perez, RHP Cliff Politte and — be sure to notice this — RHP Brad Thompson, who is scheduled to throw one inning today.
(This is not a clue that the righty is headed to the bullpen. Quite the contrary: Thompson will start Thursday.)
