Yasiel Puig's sensational catch against his former team Sunday earned the Reds outfielder the Play of the Week Award presented by W.B. Mason on Monday.

In Cincinnati's series finale against the Dodgers at Great American Ball Park, Puig leaped high above the side wall along the right-field line and reached into the stands to snag Hyun-Jin Ryu's foul fly, stranding the bases loaded.

The 28-year-old Puig is in his debut season with the Reds after playing his first six Major League seasons for the Dodgers.

"He's always been a good outfielder, so I wasn't too surprised when he made that play," Puig's former teammate Ryu said via an interpreter after the game.

Puig also gave up his body to make the amazing catch. When he tumbled back onto the field, the impact left him with a sprained right shoulder. He's considered day to day.

"After years playing the big leagues, I understand now that if I don’t hit, you have a lot of ways to help your team," Puig said of the catch. "And when I’m not doing good with my bat, I try to do the best I can to help my team, my teammates and the pitchers to make a great catch and do good things over there."
