Overview

  • Manager Kevin Cash said the club chose to get ahead of the issue after Lux reported persistent soreness, and Lux was evaluated Monday by Dr. Koco Eaton.
  • Because Opening Day injured list placements can be backdated up to three days, Lux’s absence could be shorter than the full 10 days.
  • Shortstop Taylor Walls also opens the season on the injured list with a right oblique strain, with top prospect Carson Williams viewed as the likely fill-in at shortstop.
  • Palacios, who had been optioned to the Minors last week, will rejoin the roster and handle second base versus right-handed pitching.
  • Lux’s spring workload was limited to seven Grapefruit League games after earlier oblique soreness and a shoulder issue that affected his throwing, pausing the Rays’ plan for him to anchor second base after the Brandon Lowe trade.
