"I felt OK to play nine innings, that's what I wanted to do," Puig said postgame. "I got treatment today and we'll see the results and how I feel and they'll check to see if I can play [Sunday]."
Manager Don Mattingly described Puig as being "a little sore" after the game and won't make a decision on his playing status until Sunday.
