Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Chris Taylor will play some shortstop now, along with third base and left field. That could open playing time in center field for someone else.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The ripple effect of Gavin Lux’s season-ending knee injury is going to be felt across the Dodgers’ roster.
Veteran Miguel Rojas is expected to take the bulk of starts at shortstop with Lux sidelined but Chris Taylor started there in Wednesday’s Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers and Roberts said Rojas and Taylor will split time there in the spring in order to get Taylor comfortable at the position again.
Taylor said his elbow has completely recovered and he has been going through a throwing program this spring that is building his arm strength up to play either infield or outfield.“I’ve been taking most of my ground balls at second base this offseason. I took them at shortstop today. I don’t think it should take too long to get the feel back over there on the left side.”
“It’s going to change, I’m sure,” Roberts said, alluding to the inevitable vagaries of a long season.
