Rockies' Matt Kemp: Not starting Friday
Matt Kemp is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.Kemp hits the bench for the second time in three games. His .234/.303/.423 season slash line translates to a rather poor 77 wRC+, given that gets to play half his games at Coors Field. That's a rather uninspiring figure for a designated hitter. Raimel Tapia will fill that spot Friday, with David Dahl starting in left.
