The Los Angeles Dodgers have removed infielder Gavin Lux from Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets.
Lux left game 1 with hip tightness, and didn’t play in Game 2.
Lux struck out to end the top of the seventh inning, so his spot in the order may not come up again. That makes this a great time to take him out of the game. However, it’s clear the hip issue is still lingering.
Lux went 0-for-4 in Game 3 with a strikeout. Taylor is now taking over at second base.
