At this point in the season, Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are looking anywhere for help in the lineup. Cody Bellinger has been a shell of the MVP player he was in 2019. Billy McKinney is not exactly a big league hitter, and players like Steven Souza or Zach McKinney among others have struggled to move the ball forward, as Doc calls it, consistently.
So, for a spark, the team turns to… another guy who has struggled to move the ball forward consistently when healthy all season long. Gavin Lux returned last night after a long and mostly successful stretch with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
