Yasmani Grandal catches Clayton Kershaw in series opener in SF

The Dodgers make their second trip to San Francisco this season, starting a three-game series against the Giants on Friday night. It's like these teams don't even care that there is an amateur draft going on.

The Giants have an astonishing number of left-handed batters in their lineup, with five, but that is just the state of their roster right now with Hunter Pence and Angel Pagan injured.

Another injury got added to the list before Friday's game, with infielder Kelby Tomlinson placed on the 15-day disabled list by San Francisco with a sprained left thumb. He suffered the injury on Wednesday on a diving play in the seventh inning against the Red Sox.

The Giants called up Ramiro Pena from Triple-A Sacramento to take Tomlinson's place on the active roster.

The Dodgers have what is essentially their regular lineup against right-handed pitching, including Justin Turner batting third and Corey Seager second.

The one slight exception is Yasmani Grandal catching in the series opener, with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. This will be the third time in 13 starts that Grandal will have started behind the plate for Kershaw. But its not abnormal, as Grandal caught Kershaw 12 times in 33 regular season starts in 2015.

Kiké Hernandez gets the start in left field, his 17th start there this season.
