Max Muncy, Ildemaro Vargas both OK after nasty collision in Dodgers-Diamondbacks game https://t.co/lef0muVrsY

What happened: Max Muncy and Ildemaro Vargas are both OK after a nasty collision at first base during the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game. Both players left the game after the fifth-inning play, with Muncy later reported to have no concussion and a sore nose, while Vargas was diagnosed with a bruised left rib cage and bruised left thigh.

Why it matters: The update eases immediate concern after a scary sequence involving two regular contributors. Muncy will not play Friday, while Vargas' status bears watching after his bruising diagnosis.

By the numbers: The collision occurred in the fifth inning of Arizona's 3-2 walk-off win. Muncy was reported to have no concussion but a sore nose; Vargas was reported to have bruises to his left rib cage and left thigh.

What to watch: Watch Friday's lineups and pregame availability for updates on Vargas and Muncy. Any missed time would clarify whether the collision was only a short-term scare.
