Dodgers place Yasiel Puig (hamstring) on the disabled list

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

What It Means:

Puig has been battling the injury all week, and the Dodgers decided he'd be better off with some extended rest. Scott Van Slyke was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move and will take his place on the active roster.

In 198 plate appearances this season, Puig is hitting .237/.283/.360 with a .282 wOBA and 20 RBI's. He has also recorded five home runs and stolen four bases. We project him to put up a .311 wOBA with 11 more homers and six more steals over the remainder of the year.
