Expected Dodgers SS Lux out for season

Gavin Lux hasn’t seen the video of the injury that ended his chance of being the Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting shortstop this season and has no plans to watch it.

Lux will miss the season with torn ligaments in his right knee after getting hurt running the bases in a spring training game. The 25-year-old came to camp as the top candidate to replace the departed Trea Turner as the

Dodgers’ shortstop.

“That’s one of the hardest parts,” Lux said Tuesday, while fighting back tears and leaning on crutches inside the team’s facility in Glendale, Ariz. “I think every baseball player’s dream is to play shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called the injury a huge blow and said his heart goes out to the young infielder.

Lux got hurt Monday when running between second and third base against San Diego after a ground ball was hit. Soon after ducking to avoid a throw, he took a couple of steps before his right knee buckled, he stumbled forward and fell to the ground. He said he felt something pop and his leg went numb.

The Dodgers’ first-round pick in the 2016 amateur draft, Lux played only nine games at shortstop last season while hitting .276 in 129 games, most at second base and some in left field.

He led the NL with seven triples, while hitting six homers and driving in 42 runs.

Turner, the starting shortstop last year, left as a free agent for Philadelphia. That came after Corey Seager left the Dodgers the previous offseason and signed with Texas.

David Ross said that Suzuki suffered a “moderate” strain to his left oblique while swinging during batting practice over the weekend.

Padres: All-star pitcher Joe Musgrove will be sidelined for at least two weeks after breaking his left big toe in a weight room accident, putting in question whether he will be ready for the start of the season.

Rays: Tyler Glasnow will miss the start of another season for Tampa Bay. After not making his debut last season until September following Tommy John surgery, he’s expected to miss 6-8 weeks because of a left oblique strain.
