2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lux was an offensive monster in the the Dodger farm system, but that success did not translate to the big league level over two seasons while his third was washed out by a gruesome knee injury in spring training. A look back at his 2022 rankings show an 89th percentile sprint speed which is almost certain to take a hit coming off his major leg injury leaving only his plate discipline as his major plus skill. To date as a major leaguer, Lux has done most of his damage off fastballs while struggling to handle pitches with wrinkles and changes of speed so it will be interesting to see how the year layoff from live action changes anything. On another team, Lux's plate discipline could earn him a higher spot in the lineup, but the top four of the Dodger lineup is set in stone so expect Lux to live in the bottom third of the lineup unless the third year breakout he missed due to injury last year surfaces early this season.

Moved down to No. 9 spot
Lux will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday in Game 5 of the World Series versus the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
It's the lowest spot in the batting order so far this postseason for Lux, who is just 1-for-17 at the plate over his last seven playoff contests. It's possible he's still not feeling totally healthy after suffering a hip flexor injury in Game 1 of the NLCS. Lux is flip-flopping spots in the lineup with Tommy Edman, who will hit seventh Wednesday.

How does Gavin Lux compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2017
Lux was quietly pacing towards a breakthrough season with a .297/.373/.439 line through August 22. He then was bothered by neck and back issues, dropping his numbers to .162/.197/.191 line for the rest of the season. Lux hit fewer fly balls and his HR/FB dropped to a career-low 6.2%, but the added groundballs fueled a career-best .341 BABIP. Lux knocked a career-high 20 doubles, so despite a dip in home runs, his ISO and slugging were new personal bests. Plus, home run estimators suggest double-digits are plausible with a little more luck. Lux still seven bases in nine tries, lumping him with those having a chance to run more with the new rules. Unless he changes his approach to loft more batted balls, Lux's power will be secondary to a developing hit tool and latent speed. The September swoon could keep the price to the point it's worth finding out if Lux has another level.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Future playing time in question
According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated in late June that he would consider shifting Mookie Betts to second base once back from his wrist injury, which would likely limit Lux's playing time.
ANALYSIS
Lux entered spring training as the favorite to start at shortstop for Los Angeles, but an ugly camp resulted in him shifting to second base and Betts being pressed into action at shortstop. Miguel Rojas has surged since Betts hit the injured list and could stick at shortstop once the infield is back to full strength. Lux hasn't done much to retain a regular spot in the lineup with a .544 OPS through 73 games this year.
