Guerrero improves after exiting with calf strain

PHOENIX -- Utility man Alex Guerrero, who left Friday night's game with a strain high on the left calf muscle, "felt a lot better today," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly reported.

Guerrero had an MRI of the leg, then ran sprints in the outfield and took ground balls at third base. Mattingly said he could be available Saturday night.

Mattingly also said that second baseman Howie Kendrick, recovering slowly from a strained left hamstring, reported continued progress after an aggressive workout Friday.

Mattingly said Kendrick would participate in simulated game sessions at-bat Monday and Tuesday, and would probably continue running the bases as well.
