3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers shortstop Gavin Lux is making his first career start at third base on Tuesday night against the Pirates, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Lux was activated from the injured list earlier in the day on Tuesday after being sidelined for nearly a month with a hamstring strain, and while he was out the Dodgers activated Corey Seager from the IL and acquired Trea Turner, which filled out their lineup in the middle infield. So now in order to get Lux back into the lineup, it appears the Dodgers are planning to try him out at other positions, beginning with third base. While having some positional flexibility will be a boost to his value in fantasy, he hasn't put up much at the plate this year, as he's slashing .227/.307/.349 with six homers, three steals, 37 RBI and 39 runs scored over 82 games.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
