What happened: Play was stopped for an injury delay involving Max Muncy in the bottom of the first inning. The advisory came with the score at 0-2 early in the game. Muncy was attended to before play could resume.

Why it matters: Muncy is a middle-of-the-order bat whose availability shapes the lineup, so any in-game injury check carries weight. His health has already been a storyline this summer after the violent first-base collision that forced Max Muncy from a June game. A fresh delay this early raises immediate questions about whether he can stay in the game.

What to watch: Watch whether Muncy remains in the lineup after the delay or is replaced, and for any club update on the nature of the issue.
