27 Matt Kemp, CF

Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp singled twice in a win Wednesday over Milwaukee.

Kemp finished 2 for 4 with a walk, run scored, RBI and stolen base. Kemp now has a four-game hitting streak -- something typically commonplace for the two-time All-Star, but he'll take any positive developments given his performance this year. His line sits at a pedestrian .270/.319/.356.

Off to a rocky start batting .265 with just two home runs, Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp has become the most-traded player in CBS Fantasy leagues. Still, our analysts have faith that Kemp will figure it out in time to make those who kept him happy they did so.

Al Melchior and Scott White agreed on Wednesday’s episode of Fantasy Baseball Today that they’d give up Kemp in a deal for Ryan Braun, but wouldn’t for guys like Joe Mauer and David Price.

Owning Matt Kemp in Fantasy has been a frustration so far this season, but it's still far too early to look to replace him as your top outfielder. Though the Dodgers center fielder is striking out a little too often and not hitting for power, Kemp could still redeem his season at any time.

It's not as if he has suddenly stopped hitting flyballs, like Dustin Pedroia and Eric Hosmer have. Kemp normally hits for the most power on balls that go to center field, and he hasn't hit many deep shots that way so far. Still, he has hit just 67 balls up the middle this season -- and that includes grounders -- so we're still looking at a pretty small sample.

As long as Kemp continues to put the ball in the air and avoid popups -- and he's been doing both at reasonable rates -- there's a chance for him to rediscover his power.

Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp hasn't hit as expected this season, but he's starting to feel strong at the plate, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Kemp has a .282 average but has hit just one home run. He's been hitting the ball hard recently. "But I’m feeling a lot better at the plate," Kemp said. "Those are good signs coming."

Manager Don Mattingly agreed, saying "I think Matt is kind of out of his early season [funk]. I think we can kind of say, 'Hey, Matt is swinging the bat pretty good.' Now until obviously he hits some homers, he’s going to continue to get those questions." 

Kemp is on a 14-game hitting streak. His only home run came April 24.

Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp entered Tuesday's contest against the Nationals having hit in 12 straight games. He was also moved up to No. 2 in the lineup for the first time since 2010.

"This is nothing other than trying to just shake our lineup up just a little bit and see if we can put some runs on the board," manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com "Matt has hit in 12 straight. Even though he hasn't hit for power yet, he's swinging the bat better."

Kemp is batting .320 (16 for 50) during his streak but his slugging percentage is just .360 during that stretch.
