Dodgers’ Josiah Gray to debut Tuesday against Giants

Usanewsposts
July 20, 20210

LOS ANGELES ― Josiah Gray and Zach Reks carpooled to Dodger Stadium on Monday, the longtime Triple-A roommates picking up where they left off in Oklahoma City.

“It’s such a cool opportunity for him,” Reks said. “I’m so glad he finally got the call. You can just tell he’s feeling a little bit nervous. He’s got those butterflies. It’s awesome to see that.”

Gray will make his major league debut Tuesday. The 23-year-old right-hander is expected to start against the San Francisco Giants, the first-place team in the National League West. Manager Dave Roberts left open the possibility that the Dodgers might use an “opener” on the mound, with Gray appearing out of the bullpen shortly after.

In any event, the game will mark the highly anticipated debut of the Dodgers’ premier pitching prospect, whom they acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in a Dec. 2018 trade for Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Alex Wood and Kyle Farmer. Coincidentally, Wood is starting Tuesday’s game for the Giants.

Gray might have debuted sooner were it not for a bout of shoulder soreness that prevented him from pitching in a game between May 6 and July 4. He’s made three Triple-A starts since returning, throwing 10-2/3 innings and allowing three runs – all in his most recent outing Thursday against Reno.

Triple-A hitters have batted .145 (8 for 55) against Gray overall, with 22 strikeouts and only two walks.

“Obviously with a player like Josiah we’re very careful as far as ramping him back up, the rest,” Roberts said. “There’s no signs of the previous injury, if you want to call it. I think we’ve been very good with the ramp-up and where he’s at. We feel good right now.”

If Gray starts, he’ll become the 13th different pitcher to start a game for the Dodgers this season. In his last full season, 2019, Gray advanced three levels in the Dodgers’ organization and went 11-2 with a 2.28 earned-run average.

SHORTSTOP SWAP

Gavin Lux was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, and Reks was activated after spending the previous three days on the Dodgers’ taxi squad in Denver.

Lux suffered the injury Sunday. Roberts did not have specifics on the severity of the injury when he spoke to reporters via Zoom on Monday afternoon, but he did not sound optimistic about a speedy return.

“Where he was at, it was pretty clear it was going to be an IL (placement) and it’s going to take some time,” Roberts said of Lux.

Lux is hitting .227 with six home runs and 37 RBIs in 82 games. He took over as the Dodgers’ primary shortstop when Corey Seager fractured his hand on May 28, seeing time at the position in 51 of 53 games.

A second consecutive loss by the Giants in St. Louis gave the Dodgers a chance to claim a share of first place in the NL West for the first time since April 28 Sunday afternoon. The Dodgers certainly tried to capitalize. Will Smith gave them two leads — on a two-run home run in the eighth inning and an…
  • Top prospect Keibert Ruiz could be valuable trade chip for Dodgers DENVER — The Dodgers haven’t needed the top position-player prospect in their system this season. But they might be able to use him now. Catcher Keibert Ruiz has had an outstanding season with Triple-A Oklahoma City so far. He went into Sunday’s game batting .282 with a .933 OPS, having reached base in 15 of his past 16 starts during a stretch that has seen him go 21 for 65 (.323) with three doubles, four home runs and 14 RBI.…

Baseball’s draft (now 20 rounds) concluded Tuesday with the Dodgers having taken pitchers with 17 of their 19 picks, including each of the first 14. The Dodgers did not have a second-round pick as a result of signing free agent Trevor Bauer in February. “It really surprised us here a little bit,” Dodgers director of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino said of the draft binge on pitching. “There definitely wasn’t any intent.…

Sherfy was claimed on waivers by the Dodgers Tuesday and could be featured out of the bullpen when they match up with the Giants for seven games between the All-Star break and the trade deadline. Sherfy appeared in 10 games for the Giants this season and posted a 4.22 ERA with nine strikeouts, but lost…

Jackson didn’t waste time giving Giants fans a reason to support him.

  • Mookie Betts leads Dodgers to win before leaving with injury DENVER — Just when 2020 Mookie Betts was making his presence felt, 2021 Mookie Betts’ problems returned. Betts was 4 for 4 — his fourth consecutive multi-hit game — and scored the Dodgers’ first three runs Saturday night as they beat the Colorado Rockies 9-2 at Coors Field. But Betts came out of the game after trotting into second base with his third double of the game — a seventh-inning gift when Rockies center fielder Garrett Hampson and right fielder…

That’s when the downfall began. A Giants team that held a 6.5-game…
