What began as a sore oblique last season for Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy turned into a three-month stint on the injured list.

As he was sidelined, dark thoughts crept in.

“When you’re in month three of not playing, and nothing’s getting better, you’re starting to have thoughts in your head,” Muncy said to the LA Times. “Like, ‘Is this my body telling me that you just can’t do this anymore?’ That was a tough one for me.”

Finally, a chiropractor cracked the code and found a displaced rib was the culprit of Muncy’s issue.
