The Dodgers had high hopes for Yasiel Puig this season. They made no significant improvements to their offensive personnel last winter, in part because they believed that a healthy Puig would be a resurgent Puig.
On Sunday, for the second time in seven games, the Dodgers benched him.
Puig is batting .243 with three home runs and a .294 on-base percentage.
In his first 10 games, he batted .405, with five walks and six strikeouts in 37 at-bats. In 20 games since then, he has batted .162, with one walk and 20 strikeouts in 74 at-bats.
