Yasiel Puig is known for his hot temperament, and he may have lost his cool off the field.

The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder was recently involved in a fight with security at a bar in Miami, according to ESPN Deportes' Renato Bermudez.

Puig reportedly started a fight with security from the Blue Martini club in Miami and left after receiving a blow to his face. Bermudez didn't specify exactly when the altercation occurred.

Neither the team nor Puig's representatives have acknowledged the incident yet.

Puig is coming off an injury-plagued campaign with the Dodgers, and has been the subject of trade rumors for some time now due to a logjam in the L.A. outfield and his fiery personality. The 24-year-old has a history of quarrels with teammates, including Zack Greinke and Matt Kemp, leading to speculation his time with the Dodgers may soon be over.

The Cuban outfielder battled multiple hamstring injuries in 2015, which limited him to only 79 games. He hit .255/.322/.436 with 11 homers and 38 RBIs in 282 at-bats, a far cry from the .296/.382/.480 slash line he produced a year earlier.
