Mattingly also said that Puig hit a single, walked, and stole a base in his simulated game on Friday.
The news comes just days after Mattingly called Puig's quick recovery, "miraculous".
Don on if Puig has hurdles: "It doesn't seem like it. He's been able to run the last few days. He's played on the field two days in a row."
