When he was acquired from the Nationals at the trade deadline, Alex Call didn't immediately strike fans as an obvious Michael Conforto replacement. LA had just traded away some outfield depth in James Outman, and everyone expected that the Dodgers would shoot higher for a full-time outfielder, namely Steven Kwan.
Through Tuesday night's win over the Rockies, Call has played in 14 out of 16 games since the deadline, but seven of those have been purely entailed pinch-hitting or pinch-running opportunities. He got his seventh start in the lineup on Tuesday, filling in for Conforto in left field and batting seventh.
