Juan Pierre will begin his rehabilitation assignment with Class AAA Las Vegas tonight and is expected to return to hit leadoff even after Matt Kemp had compiled a .393 on-base percentage in 18 games hitting there in the lineup.
"He doesn't give us the power that Kemp gives us, but he knows how to lead off," Torre said of Pierre.
"Hopefully the stuff he gained while batting leadoff will help him confidence-wise," Torre said of Kemp.
