Scouting Report: John Gavin
St Louis Cardinals | RP
Overall
Summary
Gavin Lux has been pulled off his rehab assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays due to a left shoulder injury, marking his third injury setback in recent months. The 2B/DH was acquired from Cincinnati over the offseason to be Tampa Bay's primary second baseman but has yet to make his MLB debut. He previously suffered a right shoulder impingement in mid-March and a left ankle injury in April. Lux will undergo imaging and is expected to be moved to the 60-day IL. He has appeared in 21 Triple-A games hitting .200 with 1 HR, 20 walks, and 23 strikeouts across 90 PA. The timing is particularly unfortunate as he enters free agency next winter as a league-average hitter seeking a reclamation opportunity.
Strengths
- Acquired by Rays as reclamation project with fresh opportunity
- League average hitter over past two seasons
