When Max Muncy announced to the world last year that he had sustained a UCL tear on his dislocated elbow, the immediate thought was that he was going to be out for a long time. The Dodgers first baseman suffered the tear in a brutal collision at first base against the Brewers in the final series of the season in 2021.
But somehow without surgery, Max was ready to go by Opening Day this year. The numbers have not quite been there for Muncy though, a guy that the Dodgers have expected to have a lot of production from since that breakout 2018 season.
