The Dodgers promoted Kolten Wong from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to their loss to the Atlanta Braves. The club signed the seasoned infielder late in August, and he spent some time readjusting his game with the coaches in greater Los Angeles.

Wong told reporters before making his Dodger debut that he would say anything to help the Dodgers win during his meeting with Dave Roberts.

Over the course of his 11-year MLB career, Wong has played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, and Seattle Mariners. Wong was signed by the Dodgers to a minor league contract that contained an opt out date of August 30 after the Mariners released him in August. When he decided to stick with the company, he was rewarded with a spot on the active roster to start the new month.

In Friday night’s loss to the Braves, he gave the Dodgers some compensation with a pinch-hit, three-run home run.

The Dodgers have been looking for infielders ever since Gavin Lux tore his knee early in spring training. Even though Mookie Betts is regarded as the best right fielder in the game, the Dodgers frequently start him at second base against right-handed pitchers.

While Roberts rests the regulars as the Dodgers get ready for the postseason, the veteran Wong might see action in the outfield, at second base, and at shortstop.

Wong has a lifetime average of.256. He has had a difficult season, posting a.169 batting average, 3 home runs, 22 RBI, and a.490 OPS. He has one month to establish his eligibility for the postseason roster.
