Matt Kemp OF LAD
Kemp re-aggravated his strained left hamstring on Wednesday, landing the slugger on the DL for the second time this season with the same injury. He is expected to miss another four weeks.
Kemp played in only two games before re-injuring his left hamstring, an injury that kept him on the DL from May 13 to May 28. He strained another part of his hamstring on Wednesday, different than the point of his initial strain, and is also considered a Grade 1 strain. That is good news for Kemp and his owners, but expect to be without the All-Star for at least four weeks.

Troy Tulowitzki SS COL
The Rockies placed Tulowitzki on the 15-Day DL after the star shortstop strained his left groin muscle on Wednesday.
Tulowitzki hurt himself running out of the batter's box against the Astros Wednesday, straining his left groin muscle in the process. The injury is not believed to be particularly serious, and the disabled list stint is precautionary if anything. An MRI Thursday revealed nothing concerning, so he should be able to go in a couple weeks or so. Tulowitzki was having a slow season - at least by his standards - before the injury, batting .286 with eight HR, 27 RBI and 33 runs scored.

Adam Jones CF BAL
Jones is in the starting lineup Friday for the Orioles after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch on Wednesday.
There was fear that the centerfielder would have to miss a game or two after getting hit by Brandon Morrow in the sixth inning of the Orioles' 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays. Now that we know he won't miss any time, fantasy owners can breathe easy. Jones is enjoying a career year, batting .314 with 16 HR, 36 RBI and 38 runs scored. He also snapped his 20-game hitting streak Wednesday, going 0 for 2 with a walk and the hit-by-pitch.

Michael Morse 1B/OF WAS
Morse was expected to make his season debut Friday against Atlanta, but will have to wait until Saturday after the Nationals-Braves game was rained out.
Morse was one of the most productive hitters in baseball last season, hitting 31 home runs and driving-in 95 runs in 522 at-bats. The Nationals were sad to hear that a strained right lat would keep their rising young first baseman out this long, but Morse is finally healthy and ready to contribute.
