Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty Logan Allen on the bump for Cleveland, Lux will take a seat for the series finale along with fellow left-handed hitters Will Benson and Jake Fraley. Lux had started at designated hitter in each of the Reds' last four games, going 4-for-18 with a home run and five RBI.

Lux went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Lux gave the Reds a commanding 10-1 lead in the fourth inning, when he took Kendall Graveman deep to right field for a 351-foot grand slam, this third of his major-league career. It was Lux's second home run of the season, with his first taking place April 21 against the Marlins. He is slashing .283/.374/.401 with one steal and 26 RBI across 187 plate appearances this season.

Lux is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Lux will take a seat Friday against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks. Garrett Hampson will play second base while Spencer Steer patrols left field.

Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander DL Hall is opening the game for the Brewers, so the lefty-hitting Lux will begin the contest on the bench but could be a candidate to enter the contest once Milwaukee turns the ball over to right-handed bulk reliever Quinn Priester. Lux had started in each of the Reds' previous five games, going 4-for-15 with three walks and an RBI.

Lux entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter for an injured Austin Hays (foot) and went 0-for-1.

EDGE Analysis

Lux remained in the game at designated hitter and should be used to filling in for Hays now. Lux served as the primary left fielder during Hays' two previous stays on the injured list in 2025.

Lux started at third base and went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 7-4 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Lux plated a run with a single in the third inning and came in ahead of Tyler Stephenson's home run two innings later. It was Lux's second start of the season at the hot corner, which had been occupied primarily by Santiago Espinal since Noelvi Marte (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. It's unclear if Lux will be the primary fill-in going forward, but Espinal (.169, one RBI in the last 17 games) has hit a rough patch lately.

Lux is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

It's southpaw Bailey Falter on the bump for the Pirates, so the left-handed-hitting Lux will begin the contest on the bench. Austin Hays is in left field and Tyler Stephenson is in the designated hitter spot for the Reds.

Lux started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-1 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Lux was back in the lineup after missing Saturday's game with lower-back spasms. He and Austin Hays are sharing left field and DH duties for now. When one starts in left, the other is the designated hitter, although Lux is typically held back whenever the Reds face a left-hander.

Lux (back) is starting in left field and batting fifth Sunday versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Lux was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup due to lower-back spasms, but the issue appears to have resolved. Will Benson shifted to left field Saturday in Lux's stead, but Benson is starting in right field Sunday. Meanwhile, Rece Hinds -- who got a start Saturday -- isn't in Sunday's lineup.

Lux was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Cleveland due to lower-back spasms, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's currently unknown if Lux's back will cause him to miss additional time beyond Saturday, but the Reds may provide more details in the near future. In the meantime, Will Benson will shift to left field to cover for Lux, opening a spot in right for Rece Hinds.
