Clayton Kershaw achieved his 3,000th career strikeout, marking a celebration for the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, Max Muncy suffered a left knee injury during the game, casting a shadow over the moment. An MRI confirmed no structural damage, leading to a diagnosis of a left knee bone bruise. Although Muncy is expected to miss about six weeks, he expressed relief over the MRI results, comparing his current feelings to a previous injury in 2021. Muncy's concern reverted to the moments after the injury, reflecting on the psychological impact of the incident.
"It was kind of twofold. It was tough news, but it was also great news. We possibly got best-case scenario."
"There's no structural damage in there, which is huge. That was definitely a pleasant relief."
"To be honest, the first thing that popped into my head was the end of the season in 2021. It wasn't a pleasant feeling."
"Anytime you're replaying an injury in your head, it's not fun."
