ATLANTA, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Atlanta second baseman Brooks Conrad, who committed three errors Sunday, has been benched for Monday night's playoff game against San Francisco.

For Game 4 of the National League Division Series, the Braves are going to move Omar Infante from third base to second and insert Troy Glaus at third. Glaus made 107 starts at first this season.

In Game 3, Conrad committed three gaffes. The final one came when he let a Buster Posey grounder squirt through his legs, letting in the go-ahead run in the Giants' 3-2 win.

Earlier, he flubbed a grounder and dropped a pop fly.

Conrad has eight errors over his last seven games.

San Francisco leads the best-of-five series 2-1.
