ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig exited Sunday's game early after suffering an injury to his right side during a fifth-inning at-bat. The Dodgers later announced that Puig left the game with a right intercostal oblique strain.
Puig appeared to tweak the area around his rib cage in his first swing, on a 1-0 changeup, then swung hard again, fouling off a sinker before doubling over in pain. After being checked on by the Dodgers' training staff, Puig gave way to Joc Pederson, who swung through a curveball from Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney, officially recording a strikeout.
