While the Los Angeles Dodgers have used a platoon in left field and center field through their first few games of the 2017 regular season, Yasiel Puig has started every game in right field. He’s the lone outfielder who’s been in the lineup all three games.
Puig reported to Spring Training hoping to re-establish himself as an everyday player. The Dodgers have provided him with the opportunity to play such a role. But, it’s come with a small caveat. Including the exhibition Freeway Series, Puig has been slotted in the No. 8 hole in five of the past six games.
