Matt Kemp out at least four weeks with hamstring injury

Reality called the Dodgers on Thursday, and it might as well have been a siren beckoning them onto the rocky shore. The results of an MRI on Matt Kemp’s hamstring showed he not only reinjured the original strain Wednesday but suffered a second one. Dodgers trainer Sue Falsone said Kemp is expected to be out of the lineup for at least four weeks. We’ll see what happens.” Falsone said both of Kemp’s strains are rated as grade one, the lowest level, and the second was slightly higher in his left leg.
