A week after learning that he would, in fact, be out for the season, Dodgers shortstop Gavin Lux underwent successful surgery on his injured right knee. The surgery was performed in Los Angeles by the renowned Dr. Neal ElAttrache, and manager Dave Roberts confirmed it “went well,” per Fabian Ardaya. He also said that in addition to the torn ACL, they were able to confirm that Lux’s LCL damage was “more than a sprain.”
Lux injured his right knee on an awkward running play two Mondays ago. He was attempting to get out of the way of a throw while running to third base where, as he explained, his cleat got stuck and his leg straightened out a little funky.
