Not in Tuesday's lineup Lux is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Lux sits for the fourth time in the last five games. Two of those have come against righties like Tuesday's starter, Zach Davies. With a .163/.250/.349 slash line on the season, it wouldn't be a surprise if his role remains somewhat marginal, though those numbers have come in a small sample of just 12 games. Chris Taylor will be the second baseman Tuesday.

Approach questioned by manager Dodgers manager Dave Roberts suggested Wednesday that Lux is being too passive at the plate, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Lux was brought up to the big-league club Saturday and has been in the starting lineup for all four games since. However, the rookie has only two hits in 14 at-bats during that stretch while striking out five times. The Dodgers are five games up in the NL West and appear committed to providing Lux plenty of playing time down the stretch, though he'll need to work on being more aggressive in order to hang on to a starting role into the postseason.
