Matt Kemp is back in the Dodgers' lineup.
Kemp missed the last two games after crashing into the center-field wall at Coors Field on Tuesday.
Kemp will bat cleanup on Friday for the first time this season, part of what appears to be an effort by Manager Don Mattingly to shake up his surprisingly unproductive lineup.
Recently acquired first baseman Adrian Gonzalez will bat third.
In other news, closer Kenley Jansen was seen on Friday playing catch in the Dodger Stadium outfield with bullpen catcher Rob Flippo. Jansen was unavailable for the last three games because of heart problems.
