Guerrero is out of the lineup Friday against the Padres.
Analysis:
Guerrero will ride the pine Friday after a stretch of five straight starts, during which he went just 3-for-19 without an extra-base hit or RBI. Scott Van Slyke will man left field with Justin Turner starting at third against right-hander Andrew Cashner. The Dodgers figure to keep Guerrero heavily involved, but they have plenty of alternatives if he continues to slump.
