Love him or hate him, Yasiel Puig is back.

After missing the majority of the season so far due to hamstring issues, Puig returns to a Dodgers lineup that desperately needs him.

Though the Dodgers have managed to play very well despite being ravaged by injuries, Puig is the spark plug that a talented team like Los Angeles needs. His presence in the top half of the lineup is one that’s been missed.

However, Puig only has a .236 career average against Arizona, one of his lowest against any team. The Dodgers need Puig to jumpstart their recently stagnant offense, so watch for him to try to bump up that average against the Diamondbacks.
