Yasiel Puig Hurts Hip After Crashing Into Wall
7 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (hip) left the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Giants after crashing into the right field wall in foul territory catching a Todd Hundley pop-up. He was limping and favoring his left side, but walked off the field. Cody Bellinger was moved to right, Max Muncy was moved to first base and Kyle Farmer was inserted to play third base. Coupled with Matt Kemp's exit from Friday's game, this would leave the Dodgers short-handed, but top prospect Alex Verdugo has been called up. Puig has yet to catch fire this season and he'll likely be out for a few days at least. His upside is too huge to ignore and there's plenty of season left. This is as perfect a buy-low situation as there can be.
