Dodgers: Max Muncy Recalls Finger Broken by Alex Wood a Year Ago

The Dodgers and Giants faced off once again at Dodger Stadium on Thursday and the game featured a matchup of former teammates, LA first baseman Max Muncy and current SF pitcher Alex Wood.

While the two combined to help the Dodger organization win its first World Series in more than three decades a season ago, it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing between them. Last summer, while getting ready for the season during “summer camp” at Dodger Stadium, Max took an Alex Wood fastball off the hand which ultimately contributed to his worst season in blue.

Muncy won’t often put the blame on something for struggles at the plate, but after fracturing a finger last year, Max ultimately admitted that he struggled with pitches in and on the hands.
