Max Muncy Going For X-Rays On Left Hand
10 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hand) is heading for X-rays on Wednesday after being hit on the left hand by a pitch in his first at-bat in the Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers and pitcher Cody Bradford. Muncy played a few more innings on defense before eventually being removed from the contest. The Dodgers will be keeping their fingers crossed that the 33-year-old left-handed slugger doesn't have a break of any kind in his hand, which would surely cause him to miss the start of the 2024 season. Muncy, a two-time All-Star, hit a career-high 36 home runs in 2023 and has reached the 30-homer mark in four of the last five full seasons. However, he also hit just .212 last year and .196 in 2022. He's more attractive in OBP leagues and for his power and run production, but you'll have to live with the hit in batting average.
