In the first inning of the first game of a doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig smashed into a wall in the right-field corner while making a catch. At the plate an inning later, he fouled a pitch off his left foot and hobbled out of the box later in the at-bat.
The combination was enough to take him out of the game. Puig was removed before the bottom of the second inning with what the Dodgers called 'eft hip soreness.
The Dodgers are already facing a series of injuries to position players.
