On bench for start of playoffs Lux is out of the lineup Wednesday for the Dodgers' wild-card game against the Cardinals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact After missing three consecutive games with a neck stinger, Lux was available off the bench for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Brewers, going 0-for-1 with a walk while seeing action in right field. Prior to developing the injury, Lux had started six consecutive games in center field, but Cody Bellinger will patrol that spot in the wild-card contest while being flanked by AJ Pollock and Mookie Betts. The trio of Pollock, Betts and Bellinger is expected to form the Dodgers' primary outfield combination against right-handed pitching throughout the postseason, though Lux or Chris Taylor could replace Bellinger against left-handed starters.

Returns to action Sunday Lux (neck) went 0-for-1 with a walk and played right field during Sunday's win over Milwaukee.

Impact Lux missed three straight games while dealing with a neck stinger, but he was able to return for Sunday's season finale. The 23-year-old came into the contest in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement in right field and struck out against Josh Hader in his first at-bat before drawing a walk in the eighth. While Lux slashed a modest .242/.328/.364 on the campaign, he looked like a different player after returning from the minors Sept. 10, slashing .360/.467/.500 with a home run, nine RBI, a stolen base and a 9:8 BB:K over his final 17 games. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Lux will be counted on to make an impact in the postseason, stating, "I don't know when he'll start, if he'll start, but I do know that we value him, I value him, and he's going to impact us through the postseason," per Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue.

Could come off bench Lux (neck) may be available off the bench Thursday against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lux was out of the starting lineup due to a neck issue after colliding with the center-field wall in Wednesday's game. However, manager Dave Roberts was optimistic about how Lux felt when he got to the ballpark Thursday, so Lux could enter the game as a substitute. More importantly for the Dodgers, it doesn't appear as though the issue will affect Lux's availability for the postseason.

Not starting Thursday Lux (neck) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Impact Lux was removed from Wednesday's win over San Diego due to a neck stinger, and he'll be held out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Trea Turner will start at second base while AJ Pollock starts in left field.

Dealing with neck stinger Dodgers manager Dave Roberts described the injury Lux sustained in Wednesday's 11-9 win over the Padres as a "neck stinger," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lux looked as though he injured his right shoulder when he collided with the center-field wall while chasing down a fly ball in the sixth inning, but Roberts offered a different diagnosis for the 23-year-old after the contest. Roberts indicated Lux will be re-evaluated early Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he was held out of the series finale with the Padres later in the day even if the neck issue is viewed as a day-to-day concern.
