The Los Angeles Dodgers have suffered a major blow to their 2021 season as star shortstop Gavin Lux was carted off the field during spring training after suffering a knee injury on the basepath.
Lux, who was the Dodgers’ first-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, was running out a ground ball to first base when he suddenly pulled up and clutched his knee. He was immediately attended to by team trainers, who eventually carted him off the field.
The severity of Lux’s injury is not yet known, but initial reports indicate that it could be a significant one. The Dodgers have not yet provided any updates on Lux’s status, but the team is expected to provide more information soon.
If Lux is forced to miss any significant amount of time, it would be a huge blow to the Dodgers’ hopes of repeating as World Series champions. Lux has been one of the team’s most important players in recent years, and his absence would be felt both in the lineup and in the field.
The Dodgers have a deep roster, and there are several players who could step up to fill the void if Lux is out for any extended period of time. However, Lux’s injury will certainly be a major concern for the team moving forward.
We will keep you updated on Lux’s status as more information becomes available.
