Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Remains out of lineup
Lux (neck) isn't starting Wednesday against the Brewers, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.
Lux was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to a neck injury and will be out of the starting nine for a second consecutive game. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but he'll have an additional day to recover since the Dodgers have a scheduled day off Thursday. Max Muncy is shifting to second base while Justin Turner starts at the hot corner Wednesday.

Pirates' Michael Chavis: Sits after three straight starts
Chavis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Chavis went 3-for-11 with a solo home run and an additional run while starting each of the past three games at first base, but he'll likely be limited to a short-side platoon role at the position with the lefty-hitting Bligh Madris moving forward. Neither Madris nor Chavis will man first base in Wednesday's series finale, however, as Josh VanMeter will draw a rare start.

Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Managing neck issue
Lux was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Milwaukee due to a neck injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The injury isn't expected to necessitate a trip to the injured list, but Lux will be held out of the lineup until at least Friday's series opener in Miami. Chris Taylor and Hanser Alberto are the likely fill-in options at second base for Los Angeles.

Luis Urias 2B | TOR
Brewers' Luis Urias: Swats homer off bench
Urias went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.
Urias didn't start the contest, but he came into the game as a defensive replacement in the third inning after Mike Brosseau left with a rib cage injury. In the following frame, Urias took advantage of the opportunity by drilling a solo homer for Milwaukee's first run. The long ball ended an ice cold stretch for Urias in which he had gone 0-for-20 over his past six games.

Brewers' Luis Urias: Gets night off
Urias isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
Urias will take a seat yet again against a southpaw. Mike Brosseau gets another chance to man the hot corner, as he's now done so in each of the last six times Milwaukee has faced a left-handed starter.
