Dodgers' Yasiel Puig: Out of lineup Friday

Puig is out of the lineup Friday against the Cardinals, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

We're still awaiting word as to the full extent of Puig's latest hamstring injury, but he will miss at least one start. Scott Van Slyke will take over in right field and bat eighth against right-hander Michael Wacha. There have rumors that the Dodgers may look to move Puig before the trade deadline as he continues to underwhelm with a .256/.318/.378 slash line through 78 games this season.
