Max Muncy injury: Dodgers infielder helped off field after tag play

Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy had to be helped off the field after suffering a knee injury making a tag play in the sixth inning of his team’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, July 2.

Muncy made an athletic play to apply a tag on Michael A. Taylor stealing third base, which was the second out in the inning. He crumbled near third base and was helped into the dugout after several minutes on the ground.

Taylor’s head hit Muncy’s left knee as the White Sox runner slid into third. Slow-motion replays showed Muncy’s leg bending in an unnatural manner. Enrique Hernandez came in to replace Muncy at third base.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after the game that Muncy would undergo an MRI the next day, and the team’s initial ‘hope’ was that it was a sprain.

This took place while Clayton Kershaw was at 2,999 career strikeouts, leaving the Dodgers standing around as the air exited the stadium. But the club legend managed to bounce back, striking out the next batter, Vinny Capra, to end the inning and become the 20th player in MLB history with 3,000 strikeouts.

The Dodgers rallied with three runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 5-4 on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off single.
