Field is likely to remain in a bench role if Howie Kendrick (knee) requires a trip to the disabled list.

The former first-round pick and recent trade acquisition Grant Green would likely take the reins at second if Kendrick lands on the DL, as Field has only 26 games played in three years of major-league service time.
