Gavin Lux

Gavin Lux went 3-for-4 at the plate on Monday night, hitting three singles while crossing the plate once himself, and striking out once as the Dodgers went on to beat the Diamondbacks in a 5-2 game.

Fantasy Impact

Lux has been more of a hitting for average type player this season as he has maintained a BA of .294 and an OPS of .796 on the year. The Dodgers' second basemen has hit just six home runs so far this year so he should not be considered a high end fantasy asset. No matter the lack of the ability to hit the deep ball the 24-year-old should be streamed for every start he makes going forward.

Gavin Lux is set to take live at-bats at Camelback Ranch this week and could be an option for their series against the Giants, per manager Dave Roberts.

Fantasy Impact

Lux has not played since September 1st and is dealing with a back injury, but the Dodgers have opted to not place him on the IL. The 24-year-old is slashing .293/.368/.428 with six home runs, seven stolen bases, and 42 runs batted in this season. Lux’s situation is on to monitor as his return depends on how he responds to those live at-bats.

Gavin Lux (back) probably will not play until at least the series against the Diamondbacks next week, per manager Dave Roberts.

Fantasy Impact

Based on Roberts’ comments, it does not sound like the IL is in play for Lux. With the Dodgers firmly in control of the NL West, they will likely have Lux rest until he is back at full strength.

Gavin Lux has been scratched from the lineup Friday against the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

No reason has been given at the moment for the change. Lux had a solid month of August with a .339 wOBA and 120 wRC+, so hopefully, there aren't any major injuries involved here. Hanser Alberto will play SS Friday with Trea Turner also out and Chris Taylor will play 2B.

Gavin Lux went 2-for-4 with a walk and three RBIs in a win over the Mets Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Lux is slashing .296/.372/.434 with six home runs, 42 RBIs, and seven stolen bases in 113 games this season. Lux ranks eighth in batting average and sixth in on base percentage in the NL this season. The 24-year-old should remain in your lineup daily.
