Dodgers: Jake Lamb Sent to Minor League Camp

The Dodgers actually needed to be sure that they didn’t run into the problems they hit final season. With so many accidents to place gamers, their depth was actually examined. That led to guys like Luke Raley and Zach Reks getting begins on the massive league stage a lot before anticipated. 

So to be sure that doesn’t occur in 2022, the Dodgers signed just a few veteran gamers. That features Jake Lamb, Kevin Pillar, and Hanser Alberto. The distinction between the three was that Alberto’s was a big-league deal, and he was at all times going to be on the Opening Day roster. 

And whereas Pillar was an extended shot to make the roster, Lamb was very a lot making a push to make it. The commerce of Matt Beaty solely made that extra of a risk. Lamb was having a really robust Spring, and it was wanting like he was a lock to get a bench spot by Thursday. 

“Jake’s a giant league ballplayer. We predict very extremely of Edwin. It’s one thing that having the choices. For those who do transfer a participant like AJ Pollock, you might have to have the ability to backfill, with expertise. What we’ve got in-house, we will do this.”

As an alternative, the Dodgers determined to ship him over to the minor league aspect this week. Lamb will wait within the wings for a chance, and it is rather doubtless the Dodgers will want him in there quickly. Lamb slashed .333/.379/.667 with 2 homeruns in 12 video games throughout Spring Coaching.
