GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Matt Kemp said he expects to play his first Spring Training game on Friday, but Carl Crawford suffered a minor setback with stiffness in his left forearm.

The two rehabbing Dodgers outfielders reported differing developments as the club tries to ready them for Opening Day.

Crawford participated in drills other than throwing and hitting Thursday, saying the stiffness cropped up two days ago.

"It flared up on me," said Crawford. "We're just being careful. I don't think it's [anything] crazy, just everybody is being very careful. From what I'm hearing, this stuff happens and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again.

"We just have to stay on top of it. I don't look at it as a major setback. If I had to, I could do the things I'd have to do."
