San Francisco Giants utility-man LaMonte Wade Jr. is not starting in Thursday's Game 5 playoff contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Wade Jr. will head to San Francisco's bench after Darin Ruf was moved to left field and Wilmer Flores was named Game 5's first baseman.
In nine-postseason at-bats, Wade has produced a .111 average and one run scored.
