Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lux's 2024 season was a tale of two halves. He batted just .213 with three homers over 76 games prior to the All-Star break, but the Dodgers stuck with him, and the infielder turned things around with a much more intriguing .304 batting average and seven long balls the rest of the way. Even after heating up, however, Lux largely sat against lefty hurlers -- he logged just 46 at-bats versus southpaws as opposed to 393 against right-handers during the campaign. While Lux's second-half surge was promising, it's hard as a fantasy manager to get excited about a player who barely reaches double-digit homers and rarely steals a base (Lux finished the campaign with five thefts). Lux's playing time was hardly guaranteed in Los Angeles, so being traded to Cincinnati in January provides him a much clearer path to a regular lineup spot. Having hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park as his home field should also boost his offensive profile. The change of scenery could allow Lux to settle in and reach his offensive potential, and he's an upside play for fantasy managers willing to take on his inconsistent track record through three full seasons.

Batting cleanup in opener
Lux will start in left field and bat cleanup Thursday against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
With Austin Hays (calf) shelved, Lux slides into the lineup in the corner outfield and also gets a prime spot in the lineup, batting behind TJ Friedl, Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz. Most of Lux's playing time could ultimately come at third base, but he's in line for regular reps in left field versus righties while Hays is out.

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.

Much has been decided in the National League over the last few days, including the Giants' fifth starter job, which was won by Landen Roupp.

The latest update to the RotoWire Roundtable Rankings sees Jackson Chourio move into the back of the first round.

With Shohei Ohtani set for more days off and fewer steals this season, Bobby Witt Jr. has moved into the top spot in our Roundtable Rankings.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

SEA, NYY have inquired
The Mariners have inquired with the Dodgers about Lux's availability, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Yankees have also kicked the tires on Lux, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. Lux remains the current favorite to open the 2025 season as the Dodgers' second baseman, but the club's recent signing of Hyeseong Kim gives them added depth at the keystone. The 27-year-old Lux had a strong second half in 2024, slashing .304/.391/.508, but overall he's hit a pedestrian .252/.326/.383 in parts of five seasons. He's under team control through 2026.
