Kennedy went on the disabled list back on April 10th with a hamstring issue. Since he was listed on the 15 day DL he will not be eligible to return until Saturday at the earliest.
On Monday Lin reported that Kennedy made an extended spring start that went pretty well.
Ian Kennedy went six innings and 81 pitches in his extended-spring start today.

With that being said all signs point to Kennedy returning the rotation this weekend against the Dodgers. Odrisamer Despaigne has filled in the rotation during Kennedy’s absence and has done quite a nice job. He has posted a 2-0 record in two starts.
Once manager Bud Black makes the official decision we’ll keep you posted!
