Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent was scratched from Tuesday night's game with Arizona about 90 minutes before first pitch after he felt discomfort in his left oblique during batting practice.
Kent said he injured the muscle swinging during one of his final at-bats in Monday's victory against the Diamondbacks.
He didn't sound overly concerned about the injury.
"(But) I'm concerned enough not to play," Kent said. "We're just trying not to make it a bigger issue than it is right now. If we rest it now, it might be better (today)."
