If Muncy were to miss extended time, it would be a massive blow.

If the Dodgers are going to recover first place in the National League West, they’re going to have to do it without Max Muncy for at least the next few weeks.

Muncy was a late scratch from the Dodgers' 6-5 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday after dealing with soreness in his right side during batting practice.
