Kendrick is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick recently suffered a minor setback with the hamstring injury that resulted in a DL stint in August, but he seemed to be back in form while playing the last three games, going 5-for-11 with four runs scored. He'll be given a rest in Sunday's regular season finale in preparation for the playoffs. Chase Utley gets the nod at second base.

Kendrick went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in a 6-2 win over San Diego on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick is getting hot at the right time, as he has four multi-hit games in his last six. With the addition of Chase Utley, it looked like Kendrick would be in a time share, but the Dodgers are doing a good job of moving Utley around to accommodate Kendrick. In all likelihood, Kendrick will be the regular starter in the playoffs and rightfully so.

Kendrick is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
He admitted after Monday's game that he's still not 100 percent -- there is lingering tightness in Kendrick's hamstring. It sounds like he will continue pushing through the injury, but Kendrick may be merely a part-time player for the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs, splitting time at second base with Chase Utley.

Kendrick (hamstring) is in the lineup hitting second Tuesday in San Francisco, the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was only out of the lineup for three of the last six games, and he had a pinch-hit appearance Monday. Look for Hendrick to get a few more starts this season in preparation for the playoffs.

Kendrick is still experiencing soreness in his hamstring and is not in Monday's lineup, Dylan O. Hernandez of the LA Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Colorado on Sunday, but apparently has still been dealing with this issue since being activated from the DL on Sept. 18. It's unclear what his status is moving forward, but consider him day-to-day for now.

Kendrick went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in a win over Arizona on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a struggle for Kendrick since returning from the DL, as he is just 3-for-19 in five games played. The bigger scare is that the Dodgers now have depth in the infield with the acquisition of Chase Utley and addition of Corey Seager. This put Kendrick's playing time very much up in the air and it remains to be seen how they use him the last two weeks and into the playoffs.

Kendrick made his return to the lineup on Saturday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI in a 3-2 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick missed over a month due to a hamstring injury, but he slotted right back into the two-hole. With the additions of Chase Utley and Corey Seager, playing time may be limited for the former All-Star. His fantasy relevancy is up in the air right now and we're on a wait and see basis with Kendrick.

Kendrick is in the lineup Saturday, Dylan Hernadez of the LA Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing over a month with a sore right hamstring, Kendrick is back in the lineup against the Pirates, batting second in the order and taking over at second base. He takes over for Chase Utley, who had been starting the majority of the games with Kendrick out.

Kendrick was activated off the 15-day DL Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick landed on the disabled list over a month ago with a sore right hamstring, but he'll now be available to rejoin the club for the stretch run of the season. He's not in Friday's lineup, but he figures to get some at bats in this weekend's series against the Pirates.

Kendrick (hamstring) hit in a simulated game Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
The plan calls for Kendrick to test his ailing hamstring with some running Wednesday before being re-evaluated. His simulated game Tuesday was his second in five days, and it appears he's inching closer to a return, but how he responds to Wednesday's activity will likely determine his availability for this weekend's series against Pittsburgh.
