With 26 games remaining in the regular season, the Dodgers are nursing a few injuries hoping to get everyone healthy in time for the postseason.
Add Max Muncy to the list of the walking wounded, as Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts told the media that Muncy is out of Friday’s lineup with a knee issue.
No structural damage is definitely good news, and a cortisone shot or two could very well get Muncy all the way through the postseason. One of the many benefits of having an insurmountable lead in the NL West — the Dodgers could clinch the division as early as this weekend with a sweep in San Diego — is the ability to focus on the big picture rather than on any particular regular-season game.
