What happened to Max Muncy? Live injury updates for Dodgers vs. White Sox Wednesday 7/2/25

UPDATE: Muncy has been placed on the IL with a left knee bone bruise.

In the sixth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox, Max Muncy injured his left leg after tagging the runner out on an attempted steal of third base. The throw from the catcher took him slightly into the field of play, which caused him to collide with the sliding White Sox player.

Enrique Hernandez was the substitute.

Prior to exiting, Muncy went 0-for-2.

After a rough start to the season, Muncy started wearing glasses on April 30th. Since then, he’s slashed .286/.414/.553 with a .267 ISO. The walk rate was 17.7%, strikeout rate was 16.7% and average exit velocity was 92.6 mph. That translated to 12 home runs, 32 runs, 50 RBI and four stolen bases.

Miguel Rojas will likely man third base if Muncy is out for an extended period of time. In 115 plate appearances this season, Rojas is slashing .250/.289/.380 with a .130 ISO. It’s a huge offensive downgrade.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
