Gavin Lux - Not in lineup for Game 6 Lux (hip) is absent from the Dodgers' lineup for Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets on Sunday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Lux is sitting not just because of the Mets sending southpaw Sean Manaea to the mound, but also because Lux is still not fully recovered from a hip flexor injury, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Chris Taylor will start at second base for Game 6 of the NLCS, but Lux will be available off the bench.

He's appeared in five postseason games this year, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six batters across 4.1 scoreless innings.

Freddie Freeman - Out of lineup for Game 6 Freeman (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets on Sunday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
Impact Freeman has been hampered by a high-ankle sprain throughout the postseason. He was held out for Game 4 of the NLCS, but he returned to the lineup for Game 5, and manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism Saturday that the veteran first baseman would be in the lineup for Game 6. However, Freeman will begin Sunday's game in the dugout, though he could be available to pinch hit if called upon. Max Muncy will shift over to first base while Enrique Hernandez enters the lineup at third base against Mets southpaw Sean Manaea.
