Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp had just two hits and struck out six times during his three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Albuquerque. But that apparently doesn’t bother the Los Angeles decision-makers.
According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, Kemp has been [ame="[MEDIA=twitter]349656729358843906[/MEDIA]"]activated from the disabled list[/ame] and is in the Dodgers’ starting lineup on Tuesday night against the rival Giants. He’ll bat fifth and start in center. Yasiel Puig is playing left field and Andre Ethier is in right.
Kemp wound up missing a little over three weeks because of a right hamstring strain. He has batted just .251/.305/.335 with two home runs and 17 RBI in 51 games this season for the Dodgers, who are in last place in the NL West with a 33-42 record.
Well I hope he watches Puig bat and not go after the ball in the dirt. Big game for the Dodgers and it is for a 4 game winning streak which we haven't had all season.
I believe the Giants have more to concern themselves with than Matt Kemp slapping a wall. They are not the same team as last year and have plenty of problems of their own.
The Giants have always been whiners. That's nothing new.
I'm pretty sure there are a couple of teams that would take him on. Once he is fully healed I believe he will put up some great numbers again. I don't see the Dodgers moving him.
