The Los Angeles Dodgers scratched Yasiel Puig from their lineup on Friday after he was late for batting practice.

The Dodgers hit on the field before Friday's 1:10 p.m. start. Puig emerged from the clubhouse at 10:26 a.m., about halfway through the session. Traffic around the stadium was heavy.

Puig was unaware the team was hitting on the field. Often before day games, the Dodgers take batting practice in their indoor batting cages, according to a team spokesman.
