Yasiel Puig hurts right hamstring on infield hit and will have MRI

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig left Tuesday night's walk-off 5-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics with tightness in his right hamstring after injuring himself legging out an infield hit in the eighth inning.

Puig is scheduled to undergo an MRI Wednesday morning. His right leg was wrapped in ice after the game, and his mood seemed a bit sullen, though he doesn't think this injury is as severe as the last one.

"It's different," Puig said. "This one is a little bit better than the last one."

Puig missed 38 games earlier this season with a strained left hamstring. In the eighth inning Tuesday, he clutched the area behind his right knee after beating out a throw from shortstop Marcus Semien and left the field with Dodgers trainer Stan Conte and manager Don Mattingly.

The Dodgers replaced Puig with pinch runner Carl Crawford.

The Dodgers managed to go 20-18 the first time Puig was injured, and they have plenty of outfielders to plug in. Crawford probably would return to the everyday lineup if Puig goes on the 15-day disabled list, with Andre Ethier moving from left field to right field. Scott Van Slyke would continue to start against left-handed pitchers.

"We'll see where it is," Mattingly said. "We'd just be guessing at this point."

Puig is batting .250 with 10 home runs and 35 RBIs.
