Rays' Gavin Lux: Taking over at second base
Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Friday that Lux will be the team's primary second baseman this season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Most of Lux's starts last season with the Reds came in left field and the designated hitter slot, but second base has been his primary position during his big-league career and the Rays have a clear hole at the keystone. The move from Cincinnati to Tampa Bay is a big ballpark downgrade for Lux, but he could get more playing time with the Rays than he had been projected to receive from the Reds. Lux slashed .269/.350/.374 with five home runs in 140 regular-season tilts for Cincinnati in 2025.

Rays' Gavin Lux: Traded to Rays
Lux was traded from the Reds to the Rays in a three-team deal Thursday that also includes the Angels, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Chris Clark is also headed to Tampa Bay in the trade, with Brock Burke going to Cincinnati and Josh Lowe to Anaheim.
Lux is set to play out his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2026, making it surprising that the Rays seemingly targeted him in this deal. He should have a strong chance to serve on the large side of a platoon at second base, and that platoon is likely to be stricter in Tampa Bay compared to his situation in Cincinnati.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Avoids arbitration
The Reds and Lux avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5.525 million contract Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Lux had been eligible for salary arbitration for the final time, as he's slated to reach free agency next winter. The 28-year-old hit .269/.350/.374 with five home runs over 140 regular-season games in his first season with the Reds. The left-handed-hitting Lux should play regularly against right-handed pitching in 2026, though he's unlikely to be locked into one position defensively.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Contributes to win
Lux started in left field and went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.
Lux was integral to the victory, which vaulted the Reds into a tie for the wild-card spot with the Mets, but Cincinnati owns the tie-breaker. He's been on a roll of late, going 12-for-35 (.343) with an .883 OPS, five extra-base hits and three RBI over the last 10 games. With Austin Hays (back) still sidelined, left field is available for Lux, who may also find opportunities at second base or designated hitter over the final weekend of the regular season.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Supplies Sunday's lone run
Lux went 2-for-4 with an RBI double during the Reds' 1-0 win over the Cubs on Sunday.
Lux was responsible for the game's only run, when his double off Jameson Taillon in the third inning brought Matt McLain home. Lux has logged at least one hit in five of his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two doubles, two runs and one RBI over that span.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Fills in at leadoff
Lux batted leadoff and went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals.
Lux stepped in atop the order for TJ Friedl, who was given the day off. The multi-hit effort was Lux's first since Aug. 18 and his third consecutive game with a base hit. He's doing his best to break out of a September funk; prior to his three-game hit streak, Lux was hitless over 21 at-bats.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Idle against southpaw
Lux is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
With a left-hander (Matthew Liberatore) on the hill for St. Louis, the left-handed-hitting Lux will head to the bench after he had started in each of the Reds' previous eight games. Miguel Andujar will serve as Cincinnati's designated hitter in Lux's stead.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Homers in Monday's win
Lux went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Angels.
Lux had gone 37 games without a homer, picking up just six doubles in that span. He also batted .304 during the power drought. The 27-year-old is up to five homers, 47 RBI, 39 runs scored and a stolen base while slashing .281/.359/.386 over 395 plate appearances. He continues to see steady playing time in a strong-side platoon role, mainly between second base and left field.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Taking seat against southpaw
Lux is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Lux went 2-for-6 with a run and two RBI in the first two games of the series, starting once in left field and once at second base, but he'll head to the bench against southpaw Jose Quintana. The Reds will go with Miguel Andujar in left and Santiago Espinal at the keystone.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Productive in loss
Lux went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Brewers.
Lux was active early, delivering RBI singles in the first and second innings. The 27-year-old has hit .412 with five multi-hit efforts in 10 August games, though he entered Friday with just one RBI for the month. On the season, he's slashing .282/.362/.381 with four home runs, 45 RBI, 38 runs scored and one steal across 387 plate appearances.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Late scratch Saturday
Lux is no longer in Cincinnati's starting lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Lux had originally been penciled in to start in left field and bat fifth, but his spot in the lineup and in the field has been handed to Miguel Andujar. The change doesn't seem to be injury related; rather, Atlanta has scratched original starting pitcher Spencer Strider after a lengthy weather delay and is now starting southpaw Austin Cox. As a result, the lefty-hitting Lux will defer to the righty-hitting Andujar.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Sitting Thursday
Lux isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Lux will sit down for Thursday's series opener after going 2-for-10 with three walks, an RBI and two runs scored during Cincinnati's three-game set against the Dodgers. Jake Fraley, Will Benson and Noelvi Marte will start across the outfield for the Reds while Austin Hays serves as the DH.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Collects four hits
Lux went 4-for-4 with an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Nationals.
Lux singled in all four of his at-bats Tuesday, and he delivered Cincinnati's only run of the game by plating Elly De La Cruz in the fourth inning. The performance marked Lux's second four-hit game of the season and the third of his career. In his last six games, Lux is 12-for-23 (.522) with a double and three RBI.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Idle against southpaw
Lux is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
With southpaw Austin Gomber on the mound for Colorado, the left-handed-hitting Lux will take a seat after he started in each of the Reds' last seven games. Lux will give up his spot in the lineup to Santiago Espinal, who starts at third base while Noelvi Marte serves as the Reds' designated hitter.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Sitting against another lefty
Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
The Yankees are sending a lefty (Max Fried) to the hill for the second day in a row, so the left-handed-hitting Lux will once again take a seat. With Lux on the bench, Santiago Espinal will get the nod at third base and will bat ninth.
