Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp was scratched from tonight's game due to a tight left hamstring, per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
Hernandez also tweeted the team removed him from the lineup "as a precaution" so it doesn't seem to be serious.
In his previous nine games, Kemp had 16 hits (seven multi-hit games), six home runs and 17 runs batted in.
On the season, he is top five in the National League in the triple-crown categories: average (.329, fifth), home runs (18, first) and runs batted in (53, second).
