With the trade deadline nearly a week away, the Dodgers picked an interesting to promote top prospect Keibert Ruiz. It remains to be seen if Ruiz’s promotion means that Will Smith is going to re-join the LA Dodgers or if this is a precursor to one of them being traded. For now, both Smith and Ruiz are on the OKC Dodgers active roster.
Keibert Ruiz turned twenty-one years old on Saturday, and on Sunday he made his Triple-A debut. Keibert did not disappoint as he went 2-4 with four RBI’s including a home run. He was then removed in the seventh inning for pinch-hitter Rocky Gale.
