Yasiel Puig's troublesome left hamstring is becoming a hindrance for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The outfielder is still experiencing tightness in his left hamstring while jogging, manager Don Mattingly revealed Friday.

Puig, who was placed on the disabled list on April 26 with the injury, is still weeks away from a return to the lineup.

Scott Van Slyke, Andre Ethier, Joc Pederson, Alex Guerrero, and Kike Hernandez will continue to share the outfield duties in his absence.

The Cuban slugger was hitting .279 with two homers and four RBIs in 11 games prior to suffering the injury.
