PHOENIX — The Dodgers are in need of a new shortstop. Again.
Gavin Lux has suffered a torn ACL in his right knee that is expected to keep him out for the entire season, manager Dave Roberts announced Tuesday morning.
Lux is scheduled to have surgery on March 7, which will be performed by head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache, per a team official. Roberts said that in addition to the torn ACL, Lux had some other "lateral" damage in his knee. His total recovery will likely take eight months.
