Max Muncy injury update: Dodgers place infielder on IL

Los Angeles Dodgers were riding high Wednesday following a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox and celebrating Clayton Kershaw’s 3,000 career strikeout milestone.

The game did, however, have a dark cloud after infielder Max Muncy suffered an injury and needed assistance getting off the field.

Muncy had an MRI on Thursday and the team announced that the infielder suffered a left knee bone bruise.

The Dodgers have placed Muncy on the injury list and recalled outfielder Esteury Ruiz in a corresponding move.

Miguel Rojas was announced as the starting third baseman in the Dodgers’ lineup for Thursday’s game against the White Sox at Dodger Stadium.

How did Max Muncy get injured?

Max Muncy was injured on Wednesday during a collision with a sliding Michael A. Taylor at third base during the sixth inning.

How long is Max Muncy out?

Muncy told reporters at his locker he avoided structural damage to his leg, and he will likely miss six weeks with his bone bruise.

‘When you look at the play and just the injury that could’ve happened,’ Muncy said to reporters, per Rowan Cavner, ‘we possibly got best case scenario. There’s no structural damage in there which is huge. You know that was definitely a pleasant relief but the timetable still kind of sucks for me personally. You know you look at around six weeks, maybe a little before, maybe a little after.’
