    Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was back in his team's starting lineup Monday, two days after straining his right hip flexor while sliding into second base attempting to break up a double play.

    Puig, accompanied by trainer Stan Conte, tested the injury by jogging backward in the Great American Ballpark outfield Monday afternoon before the Dodgers' game with the Cincinnati Reds.

    Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he had a pretty good inkling when the Dodgers boarded their flight from Colorado on Sunday night that Puig would be able to play.

    Yasiel needs his very OWN Team Full Time- Physician and HIS OWN Full Time Physical Therapists too....not a knock, player's simply don't as aggressive, (some would say with wreck-less abandon.)

    Yet, NO ONE, can argue that Yasiel is the most exciting Player in the Game right now, and may be for a decade to come....
    '
    Shades of Clemente, yet I mean no disrespect to Roberto- "the greatest Right Fielder to ever play the game"...
