LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers active roster remains the same heading into Friday’s game against the Diamondbacks. Still carrying a short bench and eight relievers, and the same eight relievers.
Onward, I guess.
The one small change is Matt Kemp moving up to third in the batting order after hitting fourth, fifth and sixth all year. Kemp has three straight multi-hit games and is hitting .355/.412/.548 (11-for-31).
