Corey Seager obviously has Luxs typical minor league position of shortstop covered at the MLB level, so Lux now looks to be the first-choice alternative at the keystone. Enrique Hernandez, Max Muncy, and Chris Taylor have actually split time at second base this season with Hernandez getting the bulk of the playing time at that specific position, though all 3 players have been deployed somewhere else around the diamond given the Dodgers fondness for versatility. With the DH area in play for the 2020 season, Roberts must be able to find enough at-bats to keep everyone satisfied and rested as the Dodgers are currently essentially in tune-up mode for the postseason.
The Dodgers have actually phoned infielder Gavin Lux from their alternate training website, with Lux set to function as the extra 29th guy for Game 2 these dayss doubleheader with the Giants.
Lux will appear on the Los Angeles lineup for the very first time this season, after he was rather remarkably not consisted of on the clubs roster for its July opener. Lux did miss part of Summer Camp for unexplained factors, and while there was speculation that Lux might have been kept in the minors for service-time factors, supervisor Dave Roberts described in early August that the Dodgers didnt “feel hes ready today.”
I see video every day, its getting much better.”
I see video every day, its getting much better.”
With the DH area in play for the 2020 season, Roberts needs to be able to discover sufficient at-bats to keep everyone pleased and rested as the Dodgers are currently basically in tune-up mode for the postseason.
Roberts stated at the time that Lux would just be contacted to the Dodgers on a daily basis, so though the “29th man” designation could indicate some fluidity with Luxs status, it would seem like the star possibility will now belong to the teams regular mix. Lux is in tonights starting lineup as a 2nd baseman, which was also his position throughout his 23-game launching with Los Angeles last season.
Lux struck.240/.305/.400 over 82 PA with the Dodgers last season, plus an.856 OPS over 10 postseason PA.. A consensus top-five prospect in baseball entering into the 2020 campaign, Lux has controlled minor league pitching because being selected 20th general in the 2016 draft, and now aims to be the next homegrown Dodgers possibility to find fame in the majors.
