Dodgers Yasiel Puig Leaves Game After a Collision

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig has been removed from a spring training game against the Angels after a violent collision with second baseman Howie Kendrick.

Puig and Kendrick were going after a fifth-inning blooper by Mike Trout on Thursday night, and Kendrick peeled off when he heard Puig call for it at the last instant – but could not avoid hitting him.

Puig went down and was tended to by a trainer before walking off the field under his own power. He was replaced in right field by Chris Heisey.
