Dodgers Notes: Max Muncy Injury Update, Shohei Ohtani Blister, Dave Roberts Talks Tarik Skubal Trade

In this story:
The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 3-2, on Thursday evening and fell to 40-23 on the year.
Left-hander Justin Wrobleski tossed six scoreless innings and struck out four, but right-hander Will Klein allowed a pair in the eighth inning and Tanner Scott gave up a walk-off home run to split the series with Arizona. It also marked the first walk-off loss the Dodgers have suffered in 2026.
Offensively, rookie Ryan Ward and backstop Dalton Rushing each knocked in a run via a double and single, respectively.
Ahead of the pair of runs put on the board, there was a scary sight in the fifth inning as third baseman Max Muncy collided with Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas while running out a ground ball hit to Vargas. Both players left the game and the Dodgers later announced that Muncy left with shortness of breath and to rule out a concussion.
Muncy said after the game that he didn't have a concussion, while manager Dave Roberts said he'd miss Friday's game.
In other news, Roberts spoke ahead of Thursday's eventual loss on his concern level regarding Shohei Ohtani's blister on his throwing hand. The four-time MVP has a 0.74 ERA through 61 innings of work and is coming off a Wednesday start in which he tossed six strikeouts through six scoreless frames.
Finally, Roberts also spoke on the potential trade deadline target that the MLB world has been in a frenzy about in Detroit Tigers ace and two-time Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal, and what it would look like if the Dodgers landed him.
"They would go ballistic," Roberts said with a laugh to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. "But we would have the prospect capital to do that. We are one of the teams that could do that with the Tigers."

"He's what 90% of the Big Leaguers did at 12 years old. They dominated their town's Little League, then they threw no-hitters."
