Overview

  • A collision with Michael A. Taylor left Muncy injured while sending Taylor off with a shoulder contusion.
  • He was unable to bear weight on his left leg before being helped off the field.
  • Thursday’s MRI revealed a bone bruise that prompted the Dodgers to place him on the 10-day injured list.
  • Los Angeles recalled outfielder Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the roster vacancy.
  • The club’s depth will be tested as it adjusts its lineup without Muncy during a critical stretch of the season.
