Max Muncy's X-Rays negative as Dodgers fall to Brewers
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (13) pops up for an out against the Milwaukee Brewers in the fifth inning at American Family Field. MILWAUKEE — The Dodgers walked into American Family Field on Friday night and got punched in the mouth early. By the end of a 5-1 loss to the Brewers, though, the final score almost felt secondary to the sight of Max Muncy walking off the field holding his right wrist.
The good news, at least initially, is that Muncy’s X-rays came back negative. Dave Roberts said postgame that Muncy is dealing with swelling and will likely be down for the next couple of days, but the Dodgers are hopeful the injury is not serious. Considering the way Muncy has played this season, the organization can only hope those early signs hold true.
"It is a relief. We just gotta monitor the next couple days. Typically, especially in that area, the X-rays never come back positive immediately.
