Overview

• Max Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list after an MRI confirmed a bone bruise in his left knee from Wednesday’s collision at third base.
• Team doctors found no structural damage, with the Dodgers projecting a roughly six-week absence for the two-time All-Star.
• In a corresponding move, Los Angeles recalled outfielder Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A Oklahoma City to bolster the roster.
• Manager Dave Roberts said the injury’s lower-body nature should not affect Muncy’s swing when he returns.
• General manager Brandon Gomes affirmed that existing trade-deadline strategies remain unchanged despite the infield setback.
