Dodgers' Curtis Granderson: Out of lineup Friday

Granderson is not in the lineup Friday against Washington, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Granderson will hit the bench for the second straight game, even with right-hander Edwin Jackson on the mound for the opposing Nationals. Manager Dave Roberts will give Andre Ethier a start out in left for the series finale, while Granderson could return to the starting nine Saturday against AJ Cole.
