Matt Kemp goes hitless in Cactus League debut
Matt Kemp - OF - Los Angeles Dodgers
March 1, 2013 - 7:55 PM ET

Matt Kemp (shoulder) made his Cactus League debut on Friday, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout.

Kemp served as the DH in the game, and is expected to do the same on Sunday as he eases himself into game shape. He's still recovering from last October's surgery on his left shoulder, and the Dodgers are just being cautious with their dynamic outfielder. Expect him to start playing the field in a week or so, and he should be 100% by Opening Day.
