Muncy underwent an MRI on Thursday, which revealed no structural damage to his knee. The third baseman will initially hit the 10-day injured list as he is set to miss over a month.
After exiting the game immediately, Muncy was thankful when talking to reporters on Thursday that it wasn't anything more serious, possibly season-ending.
The veteran has been on a tear as of late, slashing .319/.442/.659 with nine home runs and 31 RBI over his last 30 games.
Muncy started the season rough, batting under the Mendoza Line (.200) for the majority of the first two months. His bat finally came alive for the Dodgers as he brought his season slash-line up to .250/.375/.457.
He now enters the IL with 13 home runs, 55 RBI, and four stolen bases.
The two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion has been a member of the Dodgers for eight straight seasons. Originally drafted in the 41st round of the 2009 MLB Draft out of Keller High School by the then-Cleveland Indians, Muncy re-entered the draft in 2012, where he was selected in the fifth round by the then-Oakland Athletics.
Muncy made his MLB debut in 2015 with the Athletics, where he played for only two seasons before the team released him in 2017.
Los Angeles would go on to sign him less than a month later and kept him with the team's Triple-A affiliate, Oklahoma City Comets, for the year before being called up in 2018, where he thrived.
In his Dodgers seasonal debut, Muncy blasted 35 home runs and 79 RBI with an impressive .263/.391/.582 slashline. From then on, the rest is history.
Muncy is currently in the final year of his two-year, $24 million extension he signed with the Dodgers at the start of 2024 that holds a club option for 2026 if the team decides to retain him for a third year.
