Kemp hopes to be healthy by All-Star break
June 21, 2012
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp still is optimistic about playing in the All-Star game next month in Kansas City - as long as he's sure he will be healthy for the stretch run with NL West-leading Los Angeles.
Whether manager Don Mattingly and the medical staff give him the go-ahead is another question altogether. Kemp says he and Mattingly have discussed the All-Star game.
Kemp has been on the disabled list for a second time this season since May 31 with the same strained left hamstring that first sidelined him from May 14-29.
Kemp, runner-up for last year's NL MVP and the National League's All-Star votes leader with 3,322,009 in baseball's latest count this week, insists he won't play in the Midsummer Classic if there is any question.
