Registers first theft Lux went 2-for-3 with a triple, walk, two RBI and a stolen base in a 3-1 triumph against the Reds.

Impact Lux singled, stole second and scored in the third inning, tripled and scored in the fifth and walked in the sixth and the 24-year-old has now hit safely in all six starts. Lux swiped as many as 27 bases in the minors but the 10 he swiped between Double-A and Triple-A in 2019 should be a barometer for his thefts.

Gets breather Thursday Lux isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lux started in each of the first five games of the season and went 6-for-17 with a homer, a double, five RBI, four runs and two walks. However, he'll get a breather as Max Muncy shifts to the keystone while Hanser Alberto starts at third base.

Slugs first homer Lux went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and three strikeouts Wednesday against the Twins.

Impact Lux tallied his first long ball of the season in the middle of a trio of consecutive home runs for the Dodgers in the eighth inning. His lack of contact in other plate appearances was a bit alarming, but he had not struck out across his first four starts of the campaign. Overall, Lux has shown strong form early on, tallying six hits across 20 total plate appearances, while also recording two extra-base knocks.

Drives in two runs Lux went 1-for-2 with two RBI and two walks in Friday's 5-3 win over Colorado.

Impact All five of the Dodgers' runs came in the fourth inning, starting with a two-run single by Lux. The 24-year-old looks to be in line for consistent playing time at second base this season. Once considered a top prospect, Lux posted a disappointing .692 OPS through 381 plate appearances last season.

Playing time opens up Lux appears to have a clearer path to an everyday role than previously expected, as Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Dodgers traded AJ Pollock for Craig Kimbrel on Friday.

Impact Prior to the trade, Lux looked like the team's 10th-best bat. That role would have still resulted in plenty of playing time, both due to the Dodgers' frequent rotations and the fact that Lux was one injury away from being part of the starting nine. A true starting role is obviously preferable, however, and it looks like he should have one now with Pollock out of the outfield picture. Lux has played some left field, though it's perhaps more likely that Chris Taylor moves out to left field while Lux starts at second base. Lux's career .233/.314/.368 slash line doesn't exactly look the part of an everyday player for a contender, but the trade seemingly demonstrates the Dodgers' faith in him, something which seems reasonable given that he was a highly touted prospect and is still just 24 years old.

Could benefit from universal DH Lux could be in line for more playing time next season after commissioner Rob Manfred announced Thursday that the owners had agreed to a universal designated hitter, Bob Nightengal...

Impact Exactly who benefits most from the rule change on each National League team won't become fully clear until the lockout ends and the remaining free agents are signed, but Lux appears to be an obvious candidate for more at-bats. While he's a competent defender who's unlikely to spend much time at the spot himself, he's also the next man up at several positions around the diamond. Unless the Dodgers bring in a dedicated designated hitter once free agency resumes, their roster appears set up to rotate several veterans like Justin Turner, AJ Pollock and Max Muncy (elbow) through the position, with Lux covering for the resting player as needed or perhaps starting the majority of games at second base, freeing up Chris Taylor to bounce around the diamond.
