Max Muncy exits game after left knee ‘goes the opposite way’ in Dodgers injury scare
NY Post
The Dodgers are hoping their attempt to repeat as champions isn’t about to take a major hit.
Star third baseman Max Muncy had to be helped off the field after injuring his left knee in a collision at third base Wednesday night in a 5-4 win over the White Sox, and will undergo an MRI on Thursday.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team is optimistic following the initial wave of tests, but they will wait for the MRI results before determining if a stint on the injured list is needed.
“I think that our hope it’s a sprain,” he said. “Obviously, for the next few days I’m sure he’ll probably be down but, again, the MRI (on Thursday) will show more.”
The scary play happened in the sixth inning Wednesday while Michael A. Taylor attempted to steal third base with the White Sox leading 4-2.
Taylor slid head-first into the bag and right into Muncy’s left knee, which caved inward in an awkward way before he fell to the dirt after applying the tag for the second out.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
