Worth noting

• Matt Kemp, on the DL with a mild right hamstring strain, will rehab one or two games with Albuquerque next week when the Isotopes play at Round Rock (a Monday-Thursday series).

• A.J. Ellis, on the DL with a left oblique strain, hit and is 90 percent recovered from an oblique strain, with a rehab assignment also planned for next week.

• Chris Capuano, on the DL with a left shoulder latissimus strain, is playing catch with no discomfort in his strained lat muscle. All three are eligible to return for next Friday's game in Pittsburgh.
