Yasiel Puig makes his first start since Saturday for the Dodgers tonight. From Ken Gurnick of MLB.com:

Puig took early batting practice Friday at Chase Field and did outfield drills, appearing tentative catching line drives in particular.

“We’ll see what it looks like tonight,” said manager Don Mattingly.
