Dodgers NLCS 2024: Gavin Lux Not Concerned About Hip Flexor Injury
Briefly

"Just kind of coming out of the box on the bunt. Going down the line, my right hip flexor, just kind of tweaked it and didn't feel great," Lux explained after the Dodgers' 9-0 win against the New York Mets. He noted that his decision to leave the game was precautionary, emphasizing, "I wanted to stay in the game. I was fine to stay in the game. It was a precautionary thing and with a lefty going tomorrow, had a little extra time to get it recovered up."
Lux further commented, "Just wear and tear, I guess. I'll be fine. I wanted to stay in the game, but I think it was the right thing to do with trying to get a little extra recovery. I'll be fine." His optimism underscores the belief that the injury is manageable and will not significantly impact his performance in the series.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed Lux's condition, stating: "I think he'll be fine. Whether I decide if he's in there or not. But as far as availability, I think he'll be available." This shows the confidence within the team regarding Lux's potential return and his readiness for future games.
If Lux is unable to play, Roberts mentioned, "the Dodgers likely would move Hernández to second base or potentially give Chris Taylor an opportunity." This strategic flexibility highlights the depth of the Dodgers’ roster and their preparedness to adjust as needed.
