Overview
- Muncy collided with Chicago’s Michael A. Taylor during a sixth-inning tag play and immediately grabbed his left knee after hitting the ground
- Dodgers trainers helped him off the field as he was unable to put weight on his injured leg before heading to the clubhouse for further tests
- Team officials said they will review medical reports over the next day to decide whether to place the 34-year-old on the injured list
- Before Wednesday’s game Muncy was hitting .252 with 13 home runs, 55 RBIs and an .838 OPS, and his absence could force lineup adjustments
- Later in the same inning veteran Clayton Kershaw recorded his 3,000th career strikeout, becoming the 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach the milestone
