    Yasiel Puig is seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit in which an incarcerated Cuban citizen blames the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder for his imprisonment and subsequent torture.

    A hearing is scheduled for Friday in Miami in front of U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams.

    Puig is being sued for $12 million in an action that alleges he wrongfully accused the man, Miguel Angel Corbacho Daudinot, of attempting to set up a prior defection from his native Cuba. The plaintiff was sentenced to seven years in jail as a result of Puig's testimony.
