Kendrick is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves, according to Andy McCullough of the LA Times.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick has not been able to get anything going with the bat just yet, putting up a meager .415 OPS through eight games, so manager Dave Roberts decided to give him a mental break. Since his return to action Kendrick has primarily played left field, but it will be Enrique Hernandez getting the nod there Thursday.

Kendrick is out of the lineup Saturday against the Giants, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers will deploy Chase Utley at second base and Enrique Hernandez in left field, leaving Kendrick to serve as a bench bat Saturday. He has four hits and three runs in four games since returning from a calf injury, but has yet to walk or hit an extra-base hit.

Kendrick is starting in left field for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

After his activation from the disabled list Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts alluded to the possibility of Kendrick seeing some time in left field to maximize his versatility and playing time. He'll take over in left Wednesday, but it's too early to tell how often of an occurrence that will be. Still, with Scott Van Slyke, Carl Crawford, and Andre Ethier all on the disabled list, Kendrick could certainly see more than a few games in left.

Kendrick (calf) is back in the lineup Tuesday, batting fifth and playing second base, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Kendrick will make his season debut Tuesday for the Dodgers' home opener after missing the first week of the season with a calf injury. He'll be facing left-hander Patrick Corbin for his first game back Tuesday; in 2015, Kendrick slashed .291/.331/.391 against southpaws but only .252/.282/.324 against lefty starters.

Kendrick (calf) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both Kendrick and Yasmani Grandal are expected to return to the lineup Tuesday, while the demotion of Micah Johnson to Triple-A opens up a roster spot for Kendrick once the Dodgers make his activation official Tuesday.

Kendrick is scheduled to play nine innings at second base in Sunday's game for High-A Rancho Cucamonga and could rejoin the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick will likely assume regular second base duties, though with Chase Utley hitting .320 through six games, we could see a second base / third base rotation with Kendrick, Utley, and Turner having rotating days off.

Kendrick (calf) is expected to be active for the Dodgers' home opener Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick will play in rehab games for High-A Rancho Cucamonga until then, but manager David Roberts is optimistic that he will be ready for Tuesday. The veteran second baseman hit .295 with nine home runs and 54 RBI in 2015 and will provide a boost to the Dodgers' lineup upon his return.

Kendrick (calf) will apparently play three rehab games for High-A Rancho Cucamonga beginning Thursday, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers hope to have back on April 12 for their home opener, but that all depends of course on these rehab games and how he feels.

Kendrick (calf) is expected to play in a simulated game Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Kendrick still has not been cleared to play defense in Arizona, it sounds like he will get some at-bats in Wednesday. Manager Dave Roberts remains confident that Kendrick will be ready for the team's April 12 home opener, but that seems a bit optimistic given where Kendrick is at in his recovery.

Kendrick (calf) will take live batting practice in the next couple days, the Los Angeles Times' Andy McCullough reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is starting the season on the DL, and the fact that he has not yet resumed taking BP suggests he's probably a couple weeks away from joining the Dodgers. With Chase Utley and Enrique Hernandez in the fold, the Dodgers don't need to rush Kendrick back.
