14 days ago against the Milwaukee Brewers, Max Muncy was forced to exit the game after taking a fastball to his wrist. Muncy found himself in another painful situation on Thursday, this time colliding head-first into Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas, forcing him to leave the game in the top of the fifth inning.

The Dodgers announced that Muncy was removed due to both shortness of breath and a possible concussion, as Muncy was visibly bleeding from his nasal bridge. Fortunately for the Dodgers, Muncy was able to both walk off the field under his own power, but Dave Roberts noted that he will miss tomorrow’s opener against the Angels as he spoke with Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA following the 3-2 walk-off defeat.

“That was probably the main thing, just trying to make sure that he was ok. It was pretty violent… sore nose; there was some blood on his nose. He said he had some clarity when he got up and got into the clubhouse. He’ll be down tomorrow, which we intended anyway, but I think that he’ll be available over the weekend.”

Muncy also spoke with Watson about the collision and his status following Thursday’s game.

“As I’m running down the line, I saw [Vargas] in foul territory, so I got to the inside of the bag and I thought he was going to stay on that side. It felt like neither of us knew which direction we were going to go, and then we both went the wrong direction, and, bang… I’m doing alright— a little banged up but we’re doing alright.”

Tanner Scott couldn’t keep the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning on Thursday, as he allowed a walk-off home run to Ketel Marte resulting in his second losing decision over the Dodgers’ last six games.

Scott spoke with Watson following the walk-off, crediting Marte for squaring up a pitch that he didn’t think was a mistake.

“You gotta tip your cap. He’s a good hitter… I knew he was going to be aggressive.”

Here’s hoping that Scott doesn’t receive anymore death threats this time around. Once is already too much.

The Dodger bullpen spoiled what was a dominant performance from Justin Wrobleski, as the southpaw followed up Shohei Ohtani with six scoreless innings on Thursday, allowing six hits and striking out four. Despite earning a no-decision, Wrobleski felt pleased with both his game plan and his execution on the mound against Arizona, as he spoke with Kirsten Watson following the game.
