Puig suffered another hamstring strain earlier in the week. It was the second time in two weeks that Puig has had hamstring issues.

This is not the first time Puig has had hamstring issues this season. He was forced to miss 39 games dating back to April because of the injury.

The news of the injury comes at a particularly bad point of the Dodgers. With the club in the middle of the playoff race in the ultra competitive NL West the Dodgers need to be at full strength.

It’s going to be a sprint to the finish line and the Dodgers will need to be good to hold of the rival San Francisco Giants.

As more information surfaces on the Puig injury we will keep you updated.
