Lux is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez toeing the rubber for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed hitting Lux will begin this one on the bench. Chris Taylor will start at second base and hit ninth for the Dodgers.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Lux got the scoring started for the Dodgers in the fourth with a solo home run to center for his second home run in as many games. Lux has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the last month-plus. Since July 11, he's slashing .358/.423/.670 with eight homers, 24 RBI and 17 runs, and his 1.092 OPS leads the National League over that span. For the season, Lux is now slashing .254/.313/.400 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 44 runs, four steals and a 29:85 BB:K in 387 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Lux has gone 10-for-26 (.385) with three homers, five RBI and three doubles over his last seven games. The second baseman's seventh-inning blast broke up a pitching duel between Seattle's Bryan Woo and Los Angeles' Gavin Stone. Lux is up to nine homers, 44 RBI, 43 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .254/.313/.393 slash line through 107 contests this season.

Lux went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles against St. Louis in Sunday's 2-1 victory.
EDGE Analysis
Lux notched two of the Dodgers' three extra-base hits in the win and recorded his third multi-hit performance over his past four games. The second baseman struggled early in the season, but since the All-Star break he's blossomed with a .367/.431/.644 slash line, five homers, 10 doubles, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a steal through 28 games. There was a point during Mookie Betts' recent absence that the Dodgers considered moving Betts to second base upon his return, but the team has since returned the All-Star to right field, leaving Lux in an everyday role in the middle infield.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Lux continues to be steady at the plate in August -- he's gone 15-for-46 (.326) over 14 contests this month. The second baseman has picked up the power with two homers and a double over his last four games. For the season, he's slashing .251/.311/.381 with eight homers, 43 RBI, 42 runs scored, four stolen bases, 16 doubles and two triples through 104 contests. Lux can be penciled in for an everyday role as long as he's hitting well.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
MLB hitters have had a hard time figuring out Pirates rookie phenom Paul Skenes this season, but Lux had no such trouble, doubling home a run against the All-Star hurler in the first inning and adding a two-run single in the third. It was the continuation of what has been a resurgent second half of the season for Lux -- after batting just .213 prior to the All-Star break, he's posted a .383/.457/.650 slash line with three home runs, 15 RBI, nine runs and one stolen base since. While Lux's strikeout rate has jumped a bit to 27.1 percent during the second half, his overall production has been a big boost to the Dodgers. With Mookie Betts moving back to right field when he returns to the lineup Monday, Lux should continue to be a lineup regular moving forward.
