Diamondbacks' David Peralta: Out of lineup Friday
Peralta is not in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.
Analysis:
Chris Owings will take over in right and bat second in the order against Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw. Peralta is off to a rough start to the season, and his .143 batting average against southpaws likely factored into his off-day Friday. Look for Peralta to get back in the lineup Saturday against right-hander Kenta Maeda.
