Gavin Lux left Sunday’s NLCS Game 1 with hip flexor tightness.

Fantasy Impact

Gavin Lux is out of the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Colorado Rockies Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Lux will receive the afternoon off for rest reasons, with Chris Taylor batting seventh and starting at second base for manager Dave Roberts against the Rockies Sunday.

Gavin Lux went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in the Dodgers' dominant 13-2 victory over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Adding an RBI and a walk to his tally, Lux's performance was a bright spot in an already luminous offensive display by Los Angeles. This game boosts his season batting average slightly but remains a mild concern at .251. Despite the underwhelming average, Lux's ability to contribute across multiple categories, evidenced by his season totals of 59 runs, 50 RBI, and 10 homers, keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. His consistent playing time and spot in a potent Dodgers lineup offer potential for runs and RBI, making him a viable middle infield option in deeper leagues.

Gavin Lux went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Dodgers' 11-4 victory over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's offensive explosion, Lux's individual performance was relatively subdued, adding a single and a walk while striking out twice. His season batting average remains modest at .247, and while he has contributed across several categories, his power numbers and speed have been less impactful, with only 10 homers and five steals over 138 games. Lux's fantasy value is primarily as a depth option in larger leagues, given his current production rates and role in the Dodgers' lineup. His ability to get on base and score runs is a plus, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for significant contributions in power and speed.

Gavin Lux is back in the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Colorado Rockies Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Lux returns after sitting out against a left-handed starting pitcher Friday night, starting at second base and batting seventh against the Rockies for manager Dave Roberts Saturday.
