If you're just bringing him along as a bench bat, that's fine, but that essentially eats two bench positions as after he pinch hits, someone else needs to fill in for him defensively.

His bat alone may be worth it. But it leaves them pretty thin as far lineup flexibility and defensive maneuverability
Problem is if he’s not really ready and gets hurt further trying to be a DH, if you want to replace him in the LCS, he can’t play in the WS.
