Manager Bud Black indicated Saturday that Benoit is suffering from dead arm, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Benoit struggled in his last outing Apr. 27, allowing three runs on two walks and two hits. It looks as though that can partially be chalked up to the dead arm. There was no indication of whether or not a DL stint will be required, so consider him day-to-day for now.
