Puig Active vs. Brewers

Thursday, June 30

The Dodgers announced Puig will play against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday.

Injuries Continue to Surface for Puig

Puig was scratched from the Dodgers lineup on May 31 with a sore left hamstring, and the injury raised some eyebrows since the slugger was limited to just 79 games during the 2015 season due to recurring right hamstring troubles.

Over the course of the truncated campaign, Puig batted just .255 with 11 home runs, 38 RBI, 66 strikeouts and 26 walks.

Entering Wednesday night's clash, Puig was batting .248 with six home runs and 23 RBI over the course of 60 appearances.

Joc Pederson suffered a shoulder injury on Tuesday night after he collided with the outfield wall while making a spectacular catch, so Puig's return is a welcomed sight for the Dodgers.
