GAVIN LUX NEWS

Gets third straight start in left Lux will start in left field and bat eighth Sunday against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Even with a lefty (Blake Snell) on the mound for San Diego, the lefty-hitting Lux will be awarded the start in the outfield over the lefty-hitting Cody Bellinger, whom manager Dave Roberts has become increasingly reluctant to use versus same-handed pitching. An infielder by trade, Lux will be making his third consecutive start in left field, and he could continue to see more work in the outfield if Chris Taylor (neck) misses additional time. Lux went 2-for-2 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win.

Perfect at dish Saturday Lux went 2-for-2 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Padres.

Impact Starting in left field for the second consecutive game, Lux doubled home a run and scored in the third inning, and he singled and scored in the fifth. The 23-year-old's two hits were half the Dodgers' total and his first hits since July 16, though that span only encompasses six big-league games. There's a slight chance Lux could earn outfield eligibility with just a handful of games left in the season and the two recent appearances thus far.

Starting in left field Lux is starting in left field in Friday's game against the Padres, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Lux's path toward playing time in the infield is limited behind Trea Turner, Corey Seager and Justin Turner, but he'll make his third career start in the outfield to give Cody Bellinger a breather amid his 0-for-23 slump. If Bellinger continues to struggle at the plate, Lux will likely be in line for increased at-bats in the outfield.

Recalled by Dodgers Lux was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact Lux spent just over two weeks in the minors and hit .261 with a home run, three doubles, 10 runs and eight RBI in 10 games during that time. The 23-year-old will serve as depth in the Dodgers' infield.

Sent to minors Lux was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lux was sent down as the team activated Mookie Betts and also needed arms out of the bullpen after a 16-inning marathon Wednesday. However, manager Dave Roberts also said that Lux would benefit from everyday at-bats, something he wouldn't get with the big-league club. Roberts also noted the possibility that Lux would return to the Dodgers in September, but that's not a given as rosters expand to only 28 spots rather than 40 as was the case in past seasons.

Sitting in fourth straight Lux remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Lux picked up a start at third base and second base in his first two games after returning Tuesday from the 10-day injured list, but he'll be on the bench for a fourth straight contest Sunday. The 23-year-old's path to a regular role will likely become further blocked by the end of next week, when Chris Taylor is expected to settle in ahead of Lux as the Dodgers' top utility men upon Mookie Betts' (hip) return from the 10-day injured list.

Returns from injured list Lux (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will start at third base against the Pirates.

Impact Lux appeared in seven games for Triple-A Oklahoma City during his rehab assignment over the past week, and he'll rejoin the lineup versus Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old was locked into an everyday role before going down with the hamstring injury in mid-July, and he now appears to be the odd man out in the infield with Corey Seager healthy and Trea Turner joining the mix at the trade deadline. It will be Lux's first start at third base in the majors and indicates the Dodgers will try him out in a utility role. However, he's unlikely to be a reliable asset for fantasy managers while third baseman Justin Turner, Seager and Trea Turner remain healthy.
