Adam Kennedy - 3B - Dodgers

Dodgers placed INF Adam Kennedy on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right groin.

Adam Kennedy - 3B - Dodgers

Adam Kennedy hit his first homer of 2012 off Arizona's Josh Collmenter on Friday.

Kennedy's homer came in his 119th at-bat. He hit seven in 380 at-bats for the Nationals last season, but that was above the norm for him. Ideally, the Dodgers would have a better option to start at third base against righties. Ideally, they wouldn't have spent $20 million on Juan Uribe.

Adam Kennedy - 3B - Dodgers

Adam Kennedy went 4-for-4 with a double and a walk Friday in the Dodgers' 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

So apparently Kennedy belonged in the fifth spot in the Dodgers' lineup all along. His perfect night tonight raised his average all of the way from .186 to .255. Expect to find him hitting fifth again Saturday against Jake Westbrook.

Adam Kennedy - 3B - Dodgers

Adam Kennedy will bat fifth on Thursday night against the Padres.

Yes, the same Adam Kennedy who is hitting .179 (7-for-39) this year and has a lowly .637 OPS dating back to the start of the 2010 season. That's life without Matt Kemp (hamstring) for you. OBP machine A.J. Ellis, who batted fifth on Monday and Tuesday, is back in the starting lineup Thursday in the No. 7 spot.
