Justin Dean is expected to be promoted to the Dodgers roster following the selection of Esteury Ruiz to Triple-A, which opens up a necessary spot. Dean, a product of Lenoir-Rhyne University and a 17th-round pick by the Braves in 2018, has shown solid performance at Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, hitting .274 with six homers and 25 stolen bases. He has improved his plate discipline significantly, making more contact and reducing swings at pitches outside the strike zone. Dean offers strong defensive flexibility, primarily in center field, and should contribute as a fifth outfielder for L.A.
