What happened to Max Muncy and Ildemaro Vargas? Live injury updates for Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks on 6/4/26

By: Stan Son

UPDATE: Muncy left the game due to shortness of breath. A concussion has been ruled out.


In the top of the fifth inning of Thursday’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks, Max Muncy and Ildemaro Vargas were replaced by Santiago Espinal and Pavin Smith. Muncy hit a ground ball to first base, which Vargas fielded. Unfortunately, the two players arrived at first base simultaneously and slammed into each other.

Before exiting, Muncy went 1-for-2 while Vargas went 0-for-2.

Since both Muncy and Vargas had two at-bats, neither is eligible for DraftKings Early Exit.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on both of their injury status.

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.
