Dodgers Injury Update: X-Rays Negative, But Max Muncy Scheduled For Additional Testing
Jake Roth/USA TODAY SportsWhile the Los Angeles Dodgers managed to withstand Kenley Jansen blowing his seventh save of the season by defeating the San Diego Padres in extra innings to leave Petco Park with a series win, they did so with some concern surrounding Max Muncy.
He was hit by a 94 mph fastball from Matt Strahm in the fifth inning and immediately removed from the game after being checked on by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and a trainer. It was the sixth time Muncy has been hit by a pitch this season — three of which have been by the Padres — with two coming in the just-completed series.
