Kendrick is not in the lineup Thursday against the Braves, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

With righty R.A. Dickey heading to the mound for the Braves, Kendrick will take a seat in favor of Aaron Altherr for Thursday's series finale. The 33-year-old is hitting .533 against southpaws compared to .278 against righties this season, so he should see playing time against lefties at the very least.
