The Los Angeles Dodgers won’t have their full complement of starters on Monday in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets.
Manager Dave Roberts told reporters a few hours before the game that while Freddie Freeman will be in the lineup and playing first base, Gavin Lux, who exited Game 1 with a hip issue, will not be in the lineup. Roberts added Lux is available off the bench in a pinch-hit situation, but he won’t play defense. The team is hoping a day off on Tuesday gets him back to full strength ahead of Wednesday’s Game 3.
