Gavin Lux Set to Return for NLCS Game 3

Gavin Lux of the Dodgers is expected to return to the lineup for Game 3 of the NLCS on Wednesday after being sidelined due to hip flexor tightness. Lux was removed from Game 1 and did not play in Game 2, although he was available to pinch hit. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts plans for Lux to face Mets' right-handed starter Luis Severino in Game 3. During Game 2 against the Mets, Ryan Brasier acted as the opener, with Landon Knack serving as the bulk reliever, having a regular-season ERA of 3.65. Enrique Hernandez temporarily took over at second base in Lux's absence.
