Opening day for the minors had a major league feel for the Dodgers on Thursday night with two of the three games in action featuring a rehabbing player from the big club.
Yasmani Grandal (right forearm soreness) was 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts and a sacrifice fly for Triple-A Oklahoma City and caught seven innings in Nashville.
Howie Kendrick (left calf strain) was 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts and a hit by pitch for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga as the designated hitter, and tested his calf in an unsuccessful stolen base attempt.
