Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig re-aggravates left hamstring strain, leaves game.

SAN DIEGO — Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig re-aggravated the strained left hamstring that caused him to miss four games last week running out a ground ball in the sixth inning against the San Diego Padres.

Puig jogged back to the dugout and was replaced in the field by Andre Ethier in the bottom of the sixth inning.

A 96-mph Andrew Cashner fastball hit Puig on the side of his left knee in the first inning Friday, but he remained in the game.

Puig is said to be day-to-day.
