For those who weren’t following Triple-A Oklahoma City’s dramatic 11-10 win against Round Rock on Tuesday night, you missed Gavin Lux’s professional debut at third base.
Lux went 2-for-4 on the night with a pair of singles and a run scored, and he fielded a clean third base. Tuesday was Lux’s third game as part of a rehab assignment for his hamstring. So far for OKC, he has appeared at both second and third base, in addition to pinch hitting on Monday.
Over those three games, Lux has gone 3-for-8 with three singles.
Skipper Dave Roberts mentioned on Tuesday the move to third isn’t necessarily anything permanent for Lux, as it is a safety precaution prompted by Justin Turner’s latest groin injury.
