The Los Angeles Dodgers lost an infielder to injury in Game 1 of their National League Division Series against the New York Mets.
Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux left Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday with hip flexor tightness in a precautionary move, according to the Dodgers.Lux went 0 for 1 with a walk and scored a run on Shohei Ohtani's second-inning single. It's unclear how he suffered the injury, but Lux was removed after grounding out in the fifth inning and playing an uneventful inning at second base in the sixth.Lux also laid down a sacrifice bunt in the fourth inning.
2023 bled into 2024. Lux struggled at shortstop in spring training, was moved to second base, and was struggling to hit his weight for much of the first half of the season.But he hit .309 with a .396 OBP and .517 slugging percentage from July 20 onward, a span of 60 games. That not only locked Lux into the starting lineup for the remainder of the regular season and postseason, it effectively forced the Dodgers to hold onto Lux at the trade deadline amid rumors he might be dealt.
