The Los Angeles Dodgers face a decision as rosters expand on September 1, with a pressing need for a position player. James Tibbs III, currently hitting.298 with 27 homers in Triple-A, could be a solid fit as an outfielder. With Andy Pages injured and Alek Thomas filling in center field, Tibbs may step in while providing pinch-hit options. There is speculation regarding potential call-ups, including Josue De Paula from Double-A, though that seems less likely at this time as he continues to perform well there.
