Reds' Gavin Lux: Taking seat against lefty
Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
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.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Smacks grand slam
Lux went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
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. It was Lux's second home run of the season and first since April 21 against the Marlins. He is slashing .283/.374/.401 with one steal and 26 RBI across 187 plate appearances this season.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Taking seat Wednesday
Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
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.

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

Reds' Gavin Lux: Starts at third base
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.
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.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Taking seat against lefty
Lux is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.
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.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Hitless in return
Lux started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-1 win over Cleveland.
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.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Back in lineup Sunday
Lux (back) is starting in left field and batting fifth Sunday versus Cleveland.
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.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Scratched with back spasms
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.
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.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Bats leadoff Wednesday
Lux replaced the injured TJ Friedl (wrist) as the leadoff batter and went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.
Friedl was unavailable following a bone bruise he suffered during Tuesday's game. This was Lux's first time batting atop the order; he typically bats fourth or fifth. The double was Lux's 10th of the season, tying him for team high with Jose Trevino.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Records two hits, RBI in win
Lux went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.
Lux had a run-producing groundout in the first inning then scored the eventual game-winning run after a fourth-inning single. The two-hit game is a welcome sign for Lux, who entered Wednesday on a 1-for-21 stretch over the previous six contests. Cincinnati is dealing with multiple injuries in the outfield and at third base, positions at which the versatile fielder can play. Lux is batting .302/.396/.422 with nine doubles, one triple, one home run, 16 RBI and 15 runs scored through 34 games.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Sitting versus lefty
Lux is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.
Lux started the previous six games, including the last two against lefties, but he'll take a seat Friday while in the midst of an 0-for-10 slump. Santiago Espinal will enter the lineup in left field versus Washington southpaw Mitchell Parker.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Doubles twice in win
Lux went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and one RBI in Monday's win over St. Louis.
Lux singled and scored in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the sixth. He posted a .616 OPS through his first 16 games this season but has since turned a corner. Over his last 11 games, Lux has produced seven multi-hit performances -- including three straight -- to boost his season OPS to .911 through 105 plate appearances.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Sitting versus southpaw
Lux is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.
The 27-year-old started the previous five games (all against right-handed pitchers) but will sit Friday as lefty Kyle Freeland takes the mound for Colorado. Lux is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 15-for-31 with a homer and 7:6 BB:K, and he figures to be back in there to face off against righty Antonio Senzatela on Saturday.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Runs hit streak to seven games
Lux went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.
Lux was the lone Red to deliver with runners in scoring position -- the team was 1-for-10 in such situations -- when he launched a two-run home run as part of a three-run eighth inning. The homer was the first of the season for Lux, who extended a hit streak to seven games, during which he's 13-for-25 (.520) with three extra-base hits, six RBI, one steal and eight runs scored. Since injured teammates have returned, Lux has moved around the diamond, getting starts at third base, second base, DH and left field during the streak.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Makes first start at 3B
Lux started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.
With the Reds finally at full health in the infield and outfield, Lux made his first start of the season at third base. This was the primary position manger Terry Francona envisioned for the versatile Lux, but an injury to Austin Hays and Spencer Steer being limited to DH due to a shoulder forced Lux to left field for the early part of the season. Lux was eventually pinch hit for by Santiago Espinal in the eighth inning against Seattle lefty Gabe Speier. The former has a career line of .199/.277/.267 against southpaws, which suggests he may not be in the starting lineup when the Reds face lefties.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Perfect day at dish
Lux went 4-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win over Seattle.
Lux knocked four singles in the 8-4 victory, including RBI base knocks in the third and fifth innings. It was his third multi-hit performance of the season and first with more than two hits. Lux's OPS jumped from .616 to .710 through 17 games.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Lines up at second base again
Lux started at second base for a second straight game and went 2-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Giants.
Lux filled in at second base for Matt McLain, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the lineup since last Thursday. Lux had been starting in left field in place of the injured Austin Hays (calf), who is nearing a return.
