Yasiel Puig’s Triple-A debut reportedly starts late, ends well.

Yasiel Puig went 2 for 4 with three RBIs for the Oklahoma City Dodgers on Sunday. It was his first game at Triple-A ever, and his first game since anywhere since sunday.

When the Dodgers failed to find a trade partner that would take Puig at the Aug. 1 non-waiver deadline, they placed the 25-year-old outfielder on release waivers before sending him to the minor leagues. Puig hadn’t played a game at any level since collecting three hits for the Dodgers last Sunday.

Puig hit a bases-loaded double in his final at-bat in the Dodgers’ loss to the Iowa Cubs. Here’s a video of the hit:

Wearing number 46, Puig reportedly did not arrive at the ballpark until 45 minutes before first pitch.
