Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was reportedly involved in a fight with security at a nightclub in Miami.
Renato Bermudez of ESPN Deportes broke the news Friday morning with a tweet that was written in Spanish.
Translation: Yasiel Puig started a fight with security at a club in Miami. He left with a bump/bruise on his face. https://t.co/591FsphTXo

While no details of the alleged incident are known, Puig’s Instagram page did indicate that he was headed to Miami on Thursday.
If the report is true, it will do nothing to cool speculation that Dodgers players and members of the organization are growing tired of Puig’s antics. The team may have dangled Puig in trade talks over the summer, and one Dodgers executive recently said he expects the 24-year-old to slim down a bit during the offseason.
Puig has irritated the Dodgers in the past with antics like this, but he has never really gotten into any legal trouble. We’ll see if that changes in the coming days.
