    Matt Kemp has plenty of souvenirs from his return to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup: three hits and one injured ankle.

    Kemp homered and doubled in the same inning Sunday in his first two at-bats off the disabled list. He went 3 for 4 in the Dodgers' 9-2 win against the Washington Nationals.

    But he hurt his left ankle sliding into home plate on a force play in the ninth inning and limped off the field. Manager Don Mattingly said the injury appears to be a sprain, and he doesn't think it will put Kemp back on the DL.

    "No, I don't," Mattingly said with a laugh. "That's what I said last time, too."

    Kemp was still limping in the clubhouse. He had the ankle treated with ice, but he said no X-rays were planned.

    "It's not bad. I hope it's not bad," Kemp said. "The biggest thing will be tomorrow when I wake up and see how it feels."
