Watkins is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

Analysis:

Watkins has seen semi-regular duty at second base for the Cubs since joining the squad in late-August, but he'll give way to Chris Valaika on Wednesday. Though he's been an asset in batting average with a .280 mark over his 51 plate appearances, he hasn't shown much of the prowess on the basepaths he demonstrated in the minors just yet.
