Grandal is catching Clayton Kershaw for the first time Friday, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports.

Analysis:

There seemed to be a trend developing where A.J. Ellis would catch all of Kershaw's starts, but apparently the Dodgers will opt for a little more punch in the lineup Friday against the division-leading Rockies. It still seems likely that Grandal will sit at least once a week, but the fact that he's not barred from catching Kershaw can only be seen as a good thing for his fantasy value.
