Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was missing from the lineup again on Sunday, for the fouth straight game. Playing a man short for the last four games has got the Dodgers considering placing their outfielder on the disabled list for the second time this season.
If they do choose to go that route, they could backdate the disabled list stint to the last time Puig was in a game, as a pinch-hitter on Friday. In his place, rookie Andrew Toles took his spot in the lineup, adding three hits on Saturday and scoring two runs.
