Muncy was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and placed on the IL on Friday. Utilityman Buddy Kennedy was claimed on waivers from the Blue Jays to take his place on the roster.

LOS ANGELES -- Third baseman Max Muncy was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and landed on the injured list Friday, a major blow to a Los Angeles Dodgers team that finds itself fading in the standings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Max Muncy on the injured list with an oblique strain, according to ESPN's Alden González.

“Clayton Kershaw held the Padres to 1 run in six innings of work. He did it with a fastball that averaged 89.7 mph. This man has given every single ounce of everything he's ever had to the Dodgers for 18 years. Competitive greatness," Dodgers' Nation Doug McKain wrote.

Clayton Kershaw fired six innings of one-run ball to help the Dodgers snap a four-game losing streak Friday night and tie up the NL West again with a 3-2 win over the Padres.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on quite a skid, and they're at risk of losing the National League West to the rival San Diego Padres.

Mookie Betts had a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the third inning, Teoscar Hernández homered and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat San Diego 3-2 on Friday night to tie the Padres atop the NL West.

One of the best rivalries in baseball resumes this weekend in Southern California when the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres for three games at Dodger Stadium. The NL West remains very much up for grabs with six weeks and one weekend to play in the 2025 regular season.
