Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (back) received a cortisone shot Saturday and will be sidelined for the next few days. He has missed the last two contests due to a back issue and is set to miss a few more games. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day, but the Dodgers haven't placed him on the injured list for now. Lux is having a solid 2022 campaign, slashing .293/.368/.428 with six homers, 42 RBI, 62 runs, and seven steals across 418 plate appearances in 115 games. Hanser Alberto and Miguel Vargas could see an uptick in playing time while Lux is sidelined.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday. Lux was actually expected to cover shortstop with Trea Turner sitting out, but the Dodgers sent out a new lineup without Lux in it. The 24-year-old is in the midst of a very solid campaign in which he has slashed .293/.368/.428 with six homers and seven steals in 369 at-bats, so it would be a shame to see him go down with an injury. Stay tuned for more info on the reasoning behind Lux being scratched. Hanser Alberto is covering shortstop with Turner and Lux sitting.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (neck) is back at second base and is hitting seventh on Sunday in the series finale against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Edward Cabrera. Lux was sidelined for the last four games, but fantasy managers will have him back in there on Sunday. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter will return to starting duties at the keystone. On the season in 353 at-bats, he's hitting a strong .297/.373/.439 with six home runs, 39 RBI, 60 runs scored and seven stolen bases for the Blue. In 17 games in the month of August, Lux is hitting .288 (17-for-59) with two long balls, nine RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base. Get him back into your lineups in single-year leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (neck) remains out of the starting lineup Friday but could return Saturday. Lux has been dealing with a stiff neck since Tuesday, which has held him out of the Dodgers' last three games. He was able to hit in the batting cages today, though, and the team is hopeful that he will return Saturday. Even if he doesn't, it appears as though his return isn't far away. Lux has had a nice breakout season, and an even nicer second half, in which he is slashing .312/.381/.505 with two homers and two steals over 105 plate appearances. He should be owned in any standard or deeper league formats, especially point leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers' second baseman Gavin Lux (neck) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers. According to manager Dave Roberts, Lux has a neck issue and will be out of the lineup on Tuesday and Wednesday. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day, but the injury is not severe enough for Lux to warrant a trip to the injured list. He has been solid in 2022, slashing .297/.373/.439 with six home runs, 39 RBI, 60 runs, and seven stolen bases over 400 plate appearances in 110 games. Chris Taylor will handle second base duties while Lux is sidelined.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux collected two hits in four at-bats, including a double, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. He also scored a run and produced an RBI in the contest. Lux is now batting .298 with a .373 on-base percentage, 53 runs, 33 RBI and six stolen bases in 97 games. The 24-year-old only has four home runs and bats near the bottom of the order, but his average, on-base ability and modest speed make him valuable in every fantasy league.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Gavin Lux hit his fourth home run of the season Thursday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI from the ninth spot in the lineup. Lux has thrived over his last 30 games, slashing .344/.402/.563 with three homers, 14 runs scored, and 10 RBI in that span. His OPS is now up to .798 on the season. While Lux does not have any one particular superlative category, he contributes across the board and is an above-average middle infield fantasy option.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Gavin Lux is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against left-hander Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. Chris Taylor will be in left field for the game with Max Muncy covering the keystone. Lux is coming off of a great month of June. He slashed .341/.389/.476 with one home run, six doubles, two stolen bases, five RBI and 11 runs across the month. Lux is hitting a stellar .292 on the season, but it's come with very little power (two homers, .388 slugging percentage) and only five stolen bases. He's been exclusively hitting in the lower third of the Dodgers' loaded line up and that's not likely to change. He'll likely continue to have some underwhelming counting stats despite potentially being a solid source of batting average.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Gavin Lux had a solid game Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored. Lux has picked things up over his last seven games, slashing .348/.423/.435 with a stolen base in 23 at-bats. Unfortunately, Lux has not offered as much in the way of counting stats as some fantasy managers had hoped at the beginning of the season, with just one home run, three steals, 29 runs, and 12 RBI. He'll look to pick up his performance even further in the upcoming four-game series against the Mets at home.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux will be on the bench for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 24-year-old is batting .250 with a .340 on-base percentage, one home run, and a pair of stolen bases in 106 plate appearances this season. Lux has seen most of his playing time come at second base this season, but it'll be Hanser Alberto getting the start at second and hitting ninth against Diamondbacks left-hander Tyler Gilbert. Alberto is batting .226 with a .250 on-base percentage in 32 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers are probably best off looking elsewhere for streaming help on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Gavin Lux had a two-hit game on Tuesday, including a double, to help his team defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1. The 24-year-old has had mixed results thus far, hitting .270 with two stolen bases and 17 runs, but he has just six RBI and a single home run across 24 games. Since making his debut in 2019, he has yet to break out after ranking as one of the top prospects in baseball. However, a breakout might be coming, as Statcast gives him a .292 expected batting average and .473 expected slugging percentage thus far.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Gavin Lux (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. Lux was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday night due to back tightness, but manager Dave Roberts said Lux is feeling better and is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday against the division-rival San Diego Padres. The Dodgers have added utility man Zach McKinstry to their taxi squad, so it's possible that Lux will need a trip to the injured list. The 24-year-old is off to a solid start for LA this year, going 8-for-29 with a homer, five RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases in 10 games played. Chris Taylor is starting again in left field on Wednesday and is batting eighth against Braves right-hander Charlie Morton.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday due to back tightness. Outfielder Cody Bellinger, who wasn't in the lineup initially, is now back in center field and is hitting eighth against Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried. Chris Taylor is starting in left field and is hitting sixth in the batting order. Fantasy managers should consider Lux day-to-day for now, but the Dodgers could play it safe and give him an extra day or two off. The 24-year-old has a home run, five RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases in his first 37 plate appearances in 10 games to begin the 2022 campaign.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux is starting at the keystone and batting ninth on Opening Day on Friday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. Utility man Chris Taylor is in left field and batting seventh, while Justin Turner is the designated hitter and is in at cleanup. Max Muncy's elbow appears to be just fine, as he's starting at third base and hitting fifth. Lux, 24, should see regular playing time for the Dodgers this year after they traded outfielder AJ Pollock in camp. He has only hit .233/.314/.368 with 12 home runs, 63 RBI and seven stolen bases in 144 major league games over three seasons, but there's plenty of room for improvement in fantasy and real life.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder and shortstop Gavin Lux will start Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on the bench. Lux hit .242 with a .328 on-base percentage in 381 plate appearances during the regular season. The 23-year-old also added seven home runs and four stolen bases. Cody Bellinger started in center field in place of Lux for Los Angeles' Game 5 win and will do so again for Game 6. Bellinger will hit sixth against Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Gavin Lux will make his first start of this year's postseason in Tuesday's Game 4. He will be playing center field and batting sixth in the lineup as the Dodgers face San Francisco Giants right-hander Anthony DeSclafani. Lux has gone 3-for-8 with a home run and four RBI over his career against DeSclafani. Lux has pinch-hit in each game of the NLDS so far, but has failed to record a hit, going 0-for-3. He's now just 2-for-13 with a home run across nine career postseason games over the last three years.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Gavin Lux (neck) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. Cody Bellinger is getting the start in center field and batting eighth in the game. Lux suffered a neck injury while attempting to run down a fly ball in Wednesday's game. He is being considered day-to-day. The 23-year-old has seen his most exposure to the majors this year, playing in 101 games so far. He's been a significant disappointment from a fantasy perspective as he's failed to excel in any statistic, slashing .243/.327/.365 with seven home runs, four stolen bases, 46 RBI and 49 runs.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Gavin Lux (neck) suffered a neck injury after colliding with the wall when attempting to catch a fly ball in Wednesday night's game. He was removed from the game and Cody Bellinger came in to replace him. After the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Lux suffered a neck stinger during the collision. The severity of the injury is not known at this point and Lux should be considered day-to-day. The 23-year-old was 0-for-2 in Wednesday's game before the injury. He's slashing .243/.327/.365 with seven home runs, 46 RBI and 49 runs over 101 games on the year.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Gavin Lux was recalled from Triple-A and will bat seventh and play left field on Friday against the visiting San Diego Padres. The 23-year-old spent an 85-game stretch at the big-league level while several of LA's big guns were on the injured list but rode the bench for five straight games before being reassigned. Lux is hitting .221/.302/.340 on the season and cooled off significantly before being sent down, so fantasy managers don't need to invest time in him.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux and infielder/outfielder Matt Beaty were to optioned Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Mookie Betts was activated from the 10-day injured list, and pitcher Darien Nunez was recalled in corresponding moves. Lux sat the bench for five straight games and made a pinch-hitting appearance in the previous contest. The 23-year-old hasn't produced at the plate this season. He slashed .221/.302/.340 with six home runs, 37 RBI, 39 runs scored, and three stolen bases over 85 games before being optioned. Lux didn't have a clear path for regular at-bats. Chris Taylor, Trea Turner, and Corey Seager were locked in at second, shortstop, and third base. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should continue to stash Lux, but it's time to move on in redraft formats.
