ATLANTA -- Having had a little more than a week to recover from a left hamstring strain, Matt Kemp is ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup. But before being activated from the 10-day disabled list, the Braves' outfielder will first play a Minor League rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett.
"I'm going to play in Gwinnett for one game and then get this show back on the road," said Kemp, who has been sidelined since his left hamstring tightened during a chilly April 7 game in Pittsburgh.
Kemp was eligible to be activated on Tuesday, and the Braves had thought about putting him back in Atlanta's lineup for Wednesday night's game against the Nationals.
