Red Sox pitcher Rubby De La Rosa has been scratched from Tuesday's start with a tweaked muscle in his side, according to the Providence Journal's Brian MacPherson.

The move is being called precautionary, so it doesn't appear to be too serious. De La Rosa has a 3.65 ERA in 24 2/3 innings in Triple-A this season. Chris Hernandez will start in his place.

Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw looked every bit like an ace on Monday in Milwaukee. 

Kershaw pitched a complete-game victory to improve to 5-2 on the year. 

Kershaw gave up just an RBI ground out in the third inning for the only run he allowed. He gave up three hits and a walk over his nine innings, throwing 107 pitches. Kershaw struck out five batters and lowered his ERA to 1.35. 

Kershaw, 25, has picked up consecutive wins with one run allowed over 17 2/3 innings with 16 Ks over that span. He hasn't lost since falling to 2-2 on April 17 against San Diego. Kershaw makes his next start Sunday against the Cardinals.

News
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.

News
Dodgers reliever Kenley Jansen blew his first save Saturday against the Braves. Jansen entered the game in the eighth inning with a 1-0 lead and an inherited runner.

But he was greeted by a two-run homer from Evan Gattis and Andrelton Simmons followed with a solo shot, sending Jansen (1-2) and the Dodgers to an eventual 3-1 loss. 

Jansen said Gattis "just hit a good pitch." Gattis said Justin Upton gave him advice about avoiding cutters that appeared to be bound for the middle of the plate because they would break off the plate. Gattis said Upton's instruction was to wait on a pitch "starting at you, or it looks like it's starting at you. That's going to be the one that you want."

"What could I do?" Jansen asked. "I'm not going to let that bother me. Tip your hat. He hit a good pitch. You've got to go in there. Period. He's creeping up on home plate every time I'm throwing outside. I put it where I wanted to put it."

News
Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon was thrown out in the third inning Saturday against the Braves tying to steal third base with two outs and Matt Kemp at the plate. Not only did manager Don Mattingly and baserunning coach Davey Lopes chime in, but Gordon's father -- former All-Star closer Tom Gordon -- talked with Dee about his baserunning error, according to MLB.com.

"Don't steal third," Dee Gordon repeated, "unless you know you'll be safe. I felt it was 100 percent, but I got thrown out."

Mattingly was still annoyed Sunday morning.

"The first year he was here, you want to be patient with him and you're always teaching, but yesterday, we've been there before, and I told him when he got to the dugout that you can't run there unless you're 100 percent," Mattingly said. "There's no real upside to stealing the base. Only an infield hit or a passed ball. It doesn't make any sense to me. It's just a mistake you really can't make. I don't want to come down on Dee. He's trying. But it's just not the right time to steal a base. It's a useless base."
