Kennedy leaves game with left knee contusion
Ian Kennedy - S - Arizona Diamondbacks
March 16, 2013 - 6:25 PM ET

Ian Kennedy left Saturday's game against the Padres after getting hit by a liner below the left knee in the fourth inning.

Kennedy is slated to serve as the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starter this season, and the move to pull him Saturday was more a precautionary measure than anything. A team spokesperson said the right-hander should be fine.
