Dodgers News: Gavin Lux Activated and Evan Phillips Added to the Active Roster

The Dodgers are making a series of moves ahead of their game with the Pirates tonight. They will be moving around some arms as well as bringing back a familiar face off of the injured list in the second game of the series. 

Gavin Lux was officially activated from the list after hitting the IL on July 19th with a hamstring injury. Lux just completed a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Dodgers added him into the mix, though it appears his regular starting role has disappeared. 



The Dodgers also added Evan Phillips to the 26-man roster ahead of Tuesday’s game. The right-handed pitcher was claimed off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday afternoon and will join up with the depleted bullpen.
