Saturday has not been a kind day for former ex-Dodgers. The Reds demoted former Dodger Scott Schebler and released fan favorite Matt Kemp. Kemp was on the injury list with the Reds and is out for the next few weeks after breaking a rib running into the outfield wall. The Dodgers are a bit short on depth with A.J. Pollock out but they do not need another Kemp reunion.
Between Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez, the Dodgers have the right-handed bats needed to fill out the outfield while Pollock recovers. Taylor has gotten off to a slow start but he has shown signs of life lately hitting a key home run in Friday night’s comeback victory over the Padres.
