Initial X-rays showed no fracture, but an MRI revealed a bone bruise along with a major laceration and contusion. He was placed on the 10-day IL and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, with a best-case return timeline of mid- to late-June. The injury occurred in foul territory when Lockridge's knee struck concrete below the padding on the wall.
