Matt Kemp wants to play every day. Whether it's with the Los Angeles Dodgers or not is up to them, according to Ken Rosenthal from Fox Sports.

Kemp's agent and former big-league pitcher Dave Stewart told Fox Sports on Wednesday that his client is open to the possibility of being traded if he falls into another timeshare in the crowded Dodgers outfield.

"Whatever they want to do we’re favorable to, as long as it gives him an opportunity to play every day," Stewart said. "He’d like to eventually go back to center field. He’s not opposed to right or left. But his hope at some point is to get back to center."

With Carl Crawford's return from the disabled list last week, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly is once again tasked with finding playing time for five outfielders. 

Kemp, who has appeared in center field once since May 22, hasn't been the same defender since undergoing offseason ankle surgery. His struggles in the field led to his benching for five straight games in May.

The 29-year-old rebounded from a poor start offensively, batting .317/.375/.525 with 13 extra-base hits in June to earn his way back into a full-time spot in the lineup.
