The Los Angeles Dodgers will be without star outfielder Matt Kemp once again on Thursday night as they kick off a four-game series with the Diamondbacks.

Nick Punto 2B
Shane Victorino CF
Adrian Gonzalez 1B
Hanley Ramirez SS
Andre Ethier RF
Juan Cruz 3B

Here is the Diamondbacks' lineup. Jason Kubel, who leads the team in homers and RBIs, has the night off.
Aaron Hill 2B
Jake Elmore SS
Justin Upton RF
Paul Goldschmidt 1B
Miguel Montero C
Chris Young CF
Gerardo Parra LF
John McDonald 3B
Ian Kennedy P
