LOS ANGELES -- Yasiel Puig is expected back in the Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Oskar Lindblom Flyers Jersey .Puig has been limited to three pitch-hitting appearances since July 20 due to tightness in his right hamstring.Puig is hitting .255 with seven homers and 32 RBI in 272 at-bats. He flew out to center field as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of the Dodgers 9-7 victory over Arizona on Friday night. He remained in right field for the last two innings, making one putout.He came in yesterday and pinch-hit and took a good swing on a slider, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Saturday. I expect him to be in there tomorrow against (LHP Patrick) Corbin.This the second time this season hamstring issues have sidelined Puig, who spent from June 3 to June 21 on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring.I dont feel hes 100 percent, and every day weve given him hes gotten better and better, Roberts said. If theres a chance he could regress then Im not going to put him in there.With three off days over an eight-day span, the Dodgers elected to carry Puig on their 25-man roster instead of a fifth starter.Its just balancing the fact I dont think hes a DL, but I dont want to put him in harms way, Roberts said.

It was fun to hear the crowd cheer for me.Chapman had a rocky first day with the team as he wasnt engaging with reporters in answering serious questions about his past, including several about his suspension under Major League Baseballs domestic violence policy.On Wednesday, he expounded in an on-the-field, postgame interview with ESPNs Pedro Gomez, which was conducted in Spanish, but then refused to talk before changing his mind with the help of Cubs public relations.Its over with,, Chapman said of the?Tuesday news conference.
Claude Giroux Flyers Jersey. I have to move on. It happened.Chapman struck out two of three batters in a 1-2-3 inning, including Avisail Garcia looking for the final out. That fastball registered at 103 mph.Im not impressed, winning pitcher Jason Hammel joked. I thought we were getting the guy that was throwing 105. He only hit 103.Chapman began warming up while the Cubs were leading 3-1, but a five-run eighth inning changed the dynamic of the game.Without a save situation at hand, manager Joe Maddon pitched Chapman anyway, because he hadnt thrown since Saturday for the New York Yankees.A sold-out Wrigley Field crowd acknowledged Chapmans jog in from the bullpen, and fans were on the edge of their seats for every pitch.Its just entertaining to watch the [radar] gun, Maddon said. Hes a different kind of a pitcher. You see that every 100 years or so.The Cubs traded four players for Chapman, who immediately took over the closers role. Former closer Hector Rondon pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning Wednesday before handing the game over to Chapman. ' ' '
