Dodgers' Muncy on injured list with knee bruise after collision with White Sox's Taylor
He left in the sixth inning Wednesday night after a collision with Chicago White Sox center fielder Michael A. Taylor, who was attempting a steal. Muncy took a throw from catcher Will Smith and tagged out Taylor.
Muncy sprawled on his back as a Dodgers trainer came out to check on him. He had to be helped off the field and was barely able to put any weight on his left leg.
A White Sox trainer checked on Taylor, who sustained a bruised back and left the game.
The incident occurred just before Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw got his 3,000th career strikeout against Vinny Capra to end the inning.
Muncy is hitting .250 with 13 home runs and 55 RBI in 81 games this season.
The Dodgers recalled outfielder Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he batted .292 with eight homers, 37 RBI and 38 stolen bases in 66 games. He was acquired in April from the Athletics in exchange for minor league pitcher Carlos Duran after being designated for assignment on March 30.

Germany awaits news about captain Giulia Gwinn's latest knee injury at Euro 2025
ST. GALLEN, Switzerland (AP) — Germany was awaiting news Saturday on the severity of captain Giulia Gwinn's latest knee injury at the Women's European Championship. The 26-year-old Gwinn injured her knee while a making a likely goal-saving tacking on Poland captain Ewa Pajor during Germany's 2-0 win on Friday. She had to be supported off the field in tears after getting hugs from teammates. Gwinn, who previously had two cruciate ligament injuries, was to have an MRI in Zurich on Saturday to determine the extent of the injury. Gwinn missed the 2023 World Cup while she recovered from the second cruciate injury. 'We all know Giulia's history. We're all, all of us, keeping our fingers crossed that it's nothing so serious,' Germany vice-captain Janina Minge said. 'We have to stand together as a team, to stand with her and hope for the best.' Jule Brand, who scored one goal and set up the other on Friday, said Gwinn's injury was a 'shock for us all. When Giuli is down then it's never good because she always gets straight back up again.' Gwinn tore the ACL in her right knee in a European qualifier against Ireland in September 2020, then suffered the same injury again in her left knee while training with Germany in October 2022. ACL injuries can vary in severity but can mean as much as a year off if surgery is required. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Already this year, Germany goalkeeper Sophia Winkler and midfielder Marie Müller suffered cruciate ligament injuries. Germany star Lena Oberdorf, Gwinn's teammate at Bayern Munich, didn't make the squad because she's still working her way back from her knee injury sustained nearly a year ago in a win over Austria. Bayern's Carolin Simon missed the 2023 World Cup with the same injury. ___ AP soccer:

Kyle Walker ends 8-year spell with Man City by moving to Burnley
BURNLEY, England (AP) — England right back Kyle Walker ended his eight-year stint at Manchester City by moving to Burnley on Saturday in a deal reportedly worth 5 million pounds ($6.8 million). The 35-year-old Walker joins an American-owned team that has just been promoted to the Premier League and is coached by Scott Parker, his former Tottenham and England teammate. Walker has been a great at City, winning six league titles and the Champions League since his 2017 move from Spurs, but lost his place in the team last season and went on loan to AC Milan. He kept his place in the England squad, though, playing in the team's last game — a 3-1 loss to Senegal last month — to move onto 96 caps. 'When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at,' said Walker, who has signed a two-year deal. 'He's done an amazing job here, guiding the club back to the Premier League with a 100-point haul, and now we're looking forward, together, at being back in the greatest league in the world. 'Burnley had a tremendous campaign last season, built on an incredible defensive record, and I can't wait to come in and add my experience and quality to what looks an exciting squad.'
