Dodgers' Yasiel Puig: Sees action off the bench Friday

Puig (hamstring) flied out in a pinch-hit at-bat and played right field for the final two innings of Friday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

Puig was not healthy enough to play a full nine innings Friday, but he was able to get on the field for the first time in a week. Puig's pinch-hit appearance prevents the Dodgers from backdating a potential stint on the disabled list, which suggests Puig's return to the starting lineup may not be far off.
