The Dodgers are going to give Max Muncy a day off on Saturday night in Atlanta. Just one day after he was removed from the game with right ankle soreness, Muncy was held out of the Los Angeles lineup.
The good news is that the initial diagnosis was day-to-day by Dave Roberts. The Dodgers’ skipper also seemed encouraged was that there was not one play in particular that aggravated it, and that it did not happen with him stepping on the bag.
With how well Muncy has played in 2021, it’s the right call for the Dodgers to play it safe with him.
