Matt Kemp

Matt Kemp sitting on Friday for Atlanta

Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Kemp is not starting Friday's home game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

Having left yesterday's game with left hamstring tightness, Kemp will receive the day off on Friday as a precaution. In his place, Danny Santana will play left and bat sixth against the Brewers' Jimmy Nelson.

With 12 home runs, 35 RBI and a .384 wOBA, Kemp has clearly returned to form in 2017. We project him for 16 home runs and 51 RBI for the rest of the year.
