Outfielder Stuart Lewis, who plays for Triple-A Oklahoma City under the Los Angeles Dodgers, appeared at the Dodgers clubhouse. Although there has been no official announcement from the club yet, it is interpreted that there is a high possibility of change in the roster.안전놀이터
The U.S. sports media "Sports Illustrated" quoted Fabian Ardaya's SNS of "The Athletic" on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) and said, "It has been confirmed that Lewis has joined the Dodgers clubhouse. Lewis is currently a member of Triple-A Oklahoma City and can play in the Major League only when the existing player is listed or released on the injured list."
What is noteworthy is that utility infielder Tommy Edman has been excluded from the starting lineup for the second consecutive day. Notably, Kim Hye-sung along with Edman was not included in the lineup, although the opposing starting pitcher was a right-hander on the 5th.
After being assigned to the Oakland Athletics in early April, Lewis moved to the Dodgers. In 2023, he garnered attention by posting a batting average of 254 percent and 67 steals, the most in the American League, in 132 games for the Oakland Athletics. Due to poor performance and injury last year, he only posted a batting average of .200 in 29 games. He ended the season early due to injury in his left wrist.
At Triple-A Oklahoma City in this season, he garnered a batting average of 274, three homers, 20 RBIs and 27 steals, and gradually improved his condition. Watchers say that his fast feet and wide range of defense are also valuable even as bench resources.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers will face the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The Dodgers had designated hitter Ohtani, shortstop Mookie Betts, first baseman Freddie Freeman, right fielder Teoscar Hernandez, third baseman Max Muncy, center fielder Andy Farggs, left fielder Michael Confoto, catcher Dalton Rushing, second baseman Kike Hernandez.
The starting pitcher for the Dodgers is Tony Gonsolin. He has three wins and one loss with an ERA of 5.23 in six games this season.
In response, the Mets formed the starting lineup with shortstop Francisco Lindor, left fielder Brandon Nemo, right fielder Juan Soto, second baseman Brett Batty, designated hitter Jared Young, third baseman Ronnie Mauricio, and center fielder Jeff McNeil and catcher Luis Torrens.
The Mets forewarned right-hander Griffin Canning as their starting pitcher. This season's performance is 5-2 with a 3.23 ERA.
