The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned Yasiel Puig to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The club expects Puig to report on time, by this weekend.

Puig was told by the team Monday to not join the Dodgers on their road trip, as he would be either traded or demoted. They were unable to move him ahead of the non-waiver deadline. Los Angeles did, however, acquire Josh Reddick from the Oakland Athletics.

"The production from right field hasn't been at the same level it has been in past years so that was a spot we were looking at in particular," Farhan Zaidi said. "Once we were able to complete the trade with Reddick, we evaluated different options. We're obviously still evaluating Yasiel's health and whether he was a potential option to DL so we were talking through that. But ultimately we decided that move just made most sense with the roster we have and the way we plan to deploy our players and the lineups going forward."
