Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Gavin Lux will begin the season on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement, the team confirmed Monday.
Lux, 28, joined the Rays in a three-team trade in January that sent outfielder Josh Lowe to the Los Angeles Angels. Injuries limited Lux to seven appearances in spring training and he batted .190 with nine strikeouts.
Lux batted .269 with five homers, a career-high 28 doubles and a career-high 53 RBIs in 140 games last season with the Cincinnati Reds.
A first-round pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016, Lux is a career .256 hitter with 33 homers and 208 RBIs in 552 games with the Dodgers (2019-22, 2024) and Reds.
His IL move cleared a roster spot for utility player Richie Palacios, 28, to make the Opening Day roster. Tampa Bay opens the season on the road Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
