After returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup in the series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Max Muncy was out Wednesday night as the team remains cautious.
Muncy has been dealing with a sore right ankle and missed the final two games of the Dodgers’ previous series against the Atlanta Braves.
Although his ankle started to hurt after attempting to beat out a double play, Muncy explained he felt good running down the line and assumed the injury could have been the result of an earlier defensive play.
“It’s one of those things where I was running off the field in Atlanta and my foot kind of just gave out, went dead and started swelling up,” Muncy said.
