Dodgers' Yasmani Grandal: Out of Friday's lineup
Grandal is out of Friday's lineup against the Cubs.
Analysis:
The newly-acquired Carlos Ruiz will start behind the plate as Grandal sits out. Grandal owns a batting average of just .231 for the season and is just 9-for-45 over the last 14 days, so it's highly likely that he'll see much less time in the lineup moving forward, now that Ruiz is a Dodger.
