Dodgers' Max Muncy Exits Saturday's Game vs Cubs in 4th Inning
Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star third baseman Max Muncy has exited Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the fourth inning after drawing a walk to load the bases.
Muncy was replaced by Santiago Espinal, who pinch-ran for him at first base.
Why Did Max Muncy Leave Dodgers Game on Saturday?
Manager Dave Roberts said before the game that Muncy was a little under the weather. That is likely the reason for his early departure from the game.
Muncy had reached base in all three of his plate appearances, twice via a walk and once on a two-run home run, his ninth of the season.
Dave Roberts moved Max Muncy up to the No. 3 hole today.
