As the Dodgers bullpen has suffered the most from injuries this season, it was infielder Gavin Lux who went down this time and isn’t looking to return as soon as manage Dave Roberts and fans had hoped.
The 24-year-old has been dealing with some discomfort in his lower neck/upper back area for over a week now and the cross-country trip just a few days ago didn’t seem to make things much better.
Lux, who is currently slashing .293/.368/.428 received a cortisone shot on Saturday after being scratched from Friday’s lineup. He will also be missing from Sunday’s game and it looks like a few games beyond that.
