6 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (oblique) is expected to be activated from the disabled list and be back in the team's lineup during next weekend's series against the Atlanta Braves. He has been sidelined since July 8 with an oblique strain. Puig is hitting .265 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and seven stolen bases over 76 games in 2018. He'll likely return to the regular starts, however, the Dodgers' outfield is a lot more crowded with Manny Machado taking over at shortstop. He'll face competition from guys like Chris Taylor and perhaps Cody Bellinger for starts going forward. That being said, Puig is safe to use in season-long and daily leagues whenever he is in the lineup.--Dan Fappiano
