Puig, who is hitting .339 with 16 home runs, becomes part of a growing list of injured Dodgers players. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was not certain when Puig would return. "I'm thinking somewhere between seven and 10 days for him, hopefully, maybe two or three weeks, I don't know," Mattingly said, according to ESPN.com. "Or, it could be tomorrow. I'm not sure." Puig has been bothered by hip problems periodically over the past few weeks. - - - Cincinnati Reds right-hander Johnny Cueto is scheduled to come off the disabled list and start Monday's game against the Houston Astros.
