Braves' Kelly Johnson: Absent from Friday's lineup

Johnson is not in the lineup Friday against the Marlins.

Analysis:

Johnson has been cold as of late, batting just .125 over the past week, and with Adam Conley taking the mound for Miami, the Braves decided it would be best to keep the utility man on the bench. Gordon Beckham will slide over to man second base in his stead, while Chase d'Arnaud takes over at the hot corner.
