Gavin Lux returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup one day after being scratched due to getting hit by a pitch from a pitching machine, and Chris Taylor also started for the first time in a week, which moved Cody Bellinger to the bench.
However, that decision also stemmed from Bellinger dealing with an injury to his left ribs sustained upon a minor collision with Lux in left-center field during the series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
“Cody was going to be in there but just some residual from the incident with Lux in left-center field against Arizona, so we had some imaging and it’s a non-displaced fracture,” Roberts revealed.
