Lux injured his right knee while ducking under a throw from third base to second base. He tripped and fell knee-first into the ground as the Dodgers' dugout looked on in shock. On the ground, it looked like a serious injury as he was helped up from the dirt, and was taken off the field in a medical cart.

Lux was obviously in a lot of discomfort and wouldn't be able to leave the field when manager Dave Roberts arrived to check on his shortstop. He informed Roberts that he felt "a pop" on the outside of his knee, Roberts said after the game. The trainer's cart was requested right away by the Dodgers.

Karan has been a baseball sports betting expert, analyst and content strategist at Sportskeeda since 2022. He holds a Master's degree in Sports Management from Virginia Commonwealth University, and worked with the VCU Rams baseball team as a trackman analyst. He started following the sport at 18, watching postseason on television.
Karan is a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers owing to their successful history in the sport, and their consistent performances at the highest level. He admires Mookie Betts’ on-field defensive and offensive prowess, along with his off-field charitable exploits, while Bruce Bochy is his favorite coach.
The Mets’ miraculous rally from a two-run deficit in the 1986 World Series Game 6 in the bottom of the 10th inning despite being two outs and two strikes down is his all-time favorite baseball moment.
Karan’s strengths are player profiling and technical deep dives, for which he always refers to reliable sources such as the social media handles of the best MLB analysts.
When not strategizing, he likes to read, listen to music, go for a run, and watch sit-coms.
