Max Muncy suffers collision, sits out Dodgers-Angels opener

Max Muncy will miss the Dodgers' game against the Angels on Friday after a collision with Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas. The incident occurred during the fifth inning of Thursday's game, with both players going down and Muncy showing signs of a possible concussion. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Muncy was scheduled for a rest day but emphasized the need for additional recovery after the incident. Muncy expressed concern for Vargas and noted the chaotic nature of their collision, where neither player seemed aware of the other's movement. The Dodgers will look to maintain their performance without Muncy in the lineup for the Freeway Series opener.
