Yasiel Puig (hamstring) available off Dodgers' bench Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (hamstring) is available off the bench Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts said.
What It Means:
"To me it's not to the point where I want him in [the starting lineup]," Roberts explained to reporters on Tuesday after observing Puig run around the bases. This is likely a "break glass only in case of emergency" type of situation for Puig, who has appeared at the plate just once (as a pinch-hitter) since tweaking his right hamstring last Thursday.
Puig has seen his production fall off with each year he has been in the majors, currently hitting .255/.316/.376 with a .304 wOBA in 297 plate appearances this season. His -0.28 nERD ranks 249th in the majors.
