For the Dodgers, promoting Gavin Lux became a matter of when not if. The “when” will happen Monday as the Dodgers will reportedly promote Gavin Lux who if given the opportunity could provide a tremendous boost to the struggling offense. Given Max Muncy’s injury, there is no better time than now to see what Lux can do.
While the Dodgers have considered promoting Lux solely to observe, the chances of that are much slimmer now that Max Muncy has a crack in his wrist. While Max should be back in the regular season, it wouldn’t hurt the blue to give Gavin Lux an extended look at second base in case they need to replace Muncy’s bat in the postseason.
