Reds' Gavin Lux Receives 2024 World Series Ring at Dodger Stadium

The recognition offers the Reds a tangible reminder of the standard they are pursuing.

Overview

  • Lux accepted his official 2024 championship ring in a pregame ceremony Monday at Dodger Stadium before the Dodgers–Reds series opener, with many former Dodgers teammates on hand and gifting him a gold jersey.
  • The Dodgers delayed the presentation until their home series so Lux could be honored in Los Angeles after the clubs first met in Cincinnati in late July.
  • Cincinnati is 1.5 games behind the Mets for the final National League Wild Card with about 30 games remaining, and Reds players said the moment could provide a lift.
  • Lux rebounded from a 2023 knee injury to hit .251 with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs last season and logged key postseason plate appearances that manager Dave Roberts credited in the title run.
  • Traded to the Reds on Jan. 7 for prospect Mike Sirota and a competitive-balance pick later used on Charles Davalan, Lux returned as the Dodgers activated Kiké Hernández and then beat Cincinnati 7-0 to reclaim sole possession of first in the NL West.
