Yasiel Puig helps coach first base for Dodgers’ minor league affiliate
How is Yasiel Puig’s exile at Triple-A Oklahoma City going? Not too badly, actually. He’s even getting some coaching experience.
On Sunday, Puig stood in as the team’s first base coach, offering his teammates high fives and encouragement.

Puig is also hitting a healthy .375/.420/.641 at Triple-A, so he’s taken his recent demotion about as well as you could have possibly expected him to. Nevertheless, it’s unclear if he’ll get a recall when rosters expand on Sept. 1. He’s almost certainly available in a trade, though reports vary as to how much the Dodgers are demanding in exchange for him.
