Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig left Thursday's series finale against the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth inning after re-injuring his sore right hamstring.

Puig was removed from the 1-0 game and replaced by pinch-runner Juan Nicasio after legging out an infield single off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman.

Puig told reporters after the game that his hamstring feels worse than when he originally tweaked it in Oakland last week. The injury initially caused him to miss two games.
