Once presumed a favorite for National League Rookie of the Year honors, Gavin Lux’s 2020 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers has not gone according to plan.
After reporting late to Summer Camp and not looking like himself, he was optioned to the club’s alternate site at USC to refine his mechanics. Lux remained there until the end of August, when he was promoted to the active roster.
Lux now essentially is competing for a spot on the Dodgers’ postseason roster. He has received the majority of his opportunities at second base, appearing there in 15 of 16 games played to date.
