What happened: Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy and Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas collided violently at first base and stayed down for several minutes. Both players came out of the game, and Muncy was later described in the context feed as dealing with shortness of breath while being evaluated for a possible concussion.
Why it matters: The immediate concern is health, with two everyday lineup pieces leaving the same play in a division matchup. For Arizona, the exit interrupts the season of Ildemaro Vargas, who had already been a Wire.Report focus during his long hitting streak.
By the numbers: By the numbers: Both players remained on the ground for several minutes and both exited the game. Muncy also left a May 22 game after being hit near the right wrist, according to recent injury reports. Vargas' 20-game hit streak was previously noted by Wire.Report on April 23.
What to watch: Watch for postgame updates from both clubs on concussion testing, respiratory symptoms and any further medical imaging. Roster moves or lineup changes could follow if either player is unavailable for the next game.
