Moments before Los Angeles Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw collected his 3,000th career strikeout, All-Star third baseman Max Muncy suffered a scary injury after tagging out Chicago White Sox outfielder Michael A. Taylor, who attempted to steal third.
The anticipation of history from the fans at Dodger Stadium quickly turned into a chilling uncertainty as Muncy limped off the diamond and into the clubhouse with the help of a trainer. As gruesome as the injury looked initially, the third baseman has no structural damage, but a bone bruise that should sideline him for about six weeks.
