PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. \u2014 Gavin Lux’s debut with the Tampa Bay Rays is going to have to wait.<\/p>\n

The club is placing the veteran infielder on injured reserve with a right shoulder impingement. The move means Richie Palacios will make the opening day roster for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

The Rays acquired Lux from Cincinnati in January as part of a three-team deal<\/a> that sent outfielder Josh Lowe from Tampa Bay to the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles sent left-handed reliever Brock Burke to Cincinnati as part of the swap.<\/p>\n

Lux, 28, hit .269 with five homers and 53 RBIs last season with the Reds. A career .256 hitter who won a pair of World Series titles with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Lux agreed to a $5.525 million, one-year contract shortly before being sent to Tampa Bay and can become a free agent after this year\u2019s World Series.<\/p>\n

Lux struggled a bit in his first spring training with Tampa Bay, hitting .190 in seven games and had been dealing with what manager Kevin Cash described as a \u201ccranky\u201d right shoulder in recent days.<\/p>\n
