Dodgers News: Gavin Lux's Offensive Struggles Attributed To 'Mechanical' Issue

The 2024 season has not gone according to plan for Gavin Lux, who was expected to be the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting shortstop after missing all of last year due to a torn ACL and LCL in his right knee. Lux swung the bat well during Cactus League play but that has not carried over into the Dodgers' regular season schedule. Through 19 games (16 starts), he is hitting just .148/.224/.164 with one double, two RBI, six walks and 16 strikeouts in 67 plate appearances. “No, I don't think so,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts answered when asked if Lux's offense struggles are related to his health.
