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.

Sitting against lefty
Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
With left-hander Patrick Corbin set to toe the slab for the Nats, the lefty-hitting Lux will stay put in the dugout to begin Tuesday's contest. Enrique Hernandez will instead pick up a start at the keystone and bat fifth.

Stat Review
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening Day SS?
Lux is likely to be starting at short for the Dodgers on Opening Day, opines Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Even after the acquisition of Miguel Rojas, Bowden still projects Lux to be the starting shortstop in Chavez Ravine. Lux appeared in just nine contests -- no starts -- at shortstop in 2022 but, with the departure of Trea Turner, it appears he'll return to the position he primarily played while in the minors. Lux had his best season in the majors last year, posting a .276/.346/.399 slash line with six homers and seven stolen bases in 129 games.

2022
2021
2020
2019
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.
