Gavin Lux went down with an apparent leg injury in the Los Angeles Dodgers' Monday Spring Training game versus the San Diego Padres. The severity of the injury is unclear, but the Dodgers are remaining optimistic. Mookie Betts addressed Lux's injury after the game, per Dodgers Nation's Doug McKain.

“I'm just going to stay optimistic about everything,” Betts said. “I don't want to jump to conclusions or anything. So we just gotta… put some prayers up in the air for him. Hopefully he's alright.”

Lux is expected to replace Trea Turner at shortstop this season. He displayed signs of stardom in 2022 and is in line for a tremendous opportunity in 2023. For now, he will just hope for the best following this apparent leg injury.
