Dodgers starting shortstop Gavin Lux has officially suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, manager Dave Roberts just told the media. This is heartbreaking news for Lux and the entire Dodgers organization.
Lux was slated to be the team’s starting shortstop, finally getting the opportunity to play his natural position at the big league level.
In his absence, Chris Taylor will likely move back to the infield in a fuller-time shortstop role, sharing the duties with Miguel Rojas, an acquisition that now looks significantly more important due to the injury.
