Grandal is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
Manager Dave Roberts gave Grandal the nod over A.J. Ellis on Thursday because he liked the matchup for Grandal against Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon. It proved to be the right call, as Grandal drove in three of the Dodgers' five runs with a home run, his second in as many games and third of the year. Ellis will take over behind the dish Friday.
