Gavin Lux on Bench Versus Pirates
Gavin Lux will retreat to the bench for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates with a left-hander on the mound. Catcher Tyler Stephenson is the designated hitter and will bat sixth, while Jose Trevino is doing the catching and hitting seventh against Pirates southpaw Bailey Falter. Lux has gone hitless in three career at-bats against Falter and has gone 3-for-27 (.111) with just one RBI on the season against lefties. The former Dodger has hit a strong .294 (45-for-153) in his first season in Cincy, but it has come with just one long ball and one stolen base. Stephenson will be an intriguing DFS pick at catcher on Tuesday given his .533 career average against Falter in 15 at-bats with two home runs and five RBI. Trevino has gone hitless against Falter in just two career at-bats.
