Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig began his second rehab assignment this season with the Class-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on Thursday night, going 2-for-4 with a double against the Lancaster JetHawks (Astros).
Puig batted second and played seven innings in right field.
He doubled to center field and scored in the first inning, then grounded out to third base in the second inning, struck out swinging in the fourth, then singled in the sixth.

Yasiel Puig makes second catch of the B4, drifting over to catch another fly ball. Hamstring was not tested much on either of those chances.
