Dodgers News: Lux Named NL Player of the Week, Ryan to Start, Paxton DFA'd

Lux Shines with Impressive Week

Gavin Lux has been on a tear for the Dodgers, and his efforts have been recognized. The second baseman has been named National League Player of the Week after hitting two home runs and two doubles in just three games. Lux's hot streak has helped the Dodgers maintain their strong start to the season.

Ryan to Take the Mound

In other news, the Dodgers are preparing for top pitching prospect River Ryan to make his MLB debut on Monday night against the San Francisco Giants. Ryan has been highly touted since being drafted by the Dodgers in 2018, and the team is excited to see what he can do at the major league level.

Paxton Designated for Assignment

In a surprising move, the Dodgers have designated veteran starting pitcher James Paxton for assignment. Paxton had been a stabilizing force in the Dodgers' rotation this season, but the team apparently decided to go in a different direction. Paxton's departure opens up a spot in the rotation for Ryan.
