Kemp entered Friday's game at second base after Aldemys Diaz was removed with a hamstring injury.
Kemp went hitless in three plate appearances but flashed leather in the field, making a run-saving stop in the fourth inning. He played second base in the minors, winning a Gold Glove in 2014, but he's played just 45 innings there in the majors. Pending Diaz's status, Kemp could be in line for a start at second base Saturday.
