Max Muncy To Miss Friday's Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios appears to have the lead for the third receiver spot, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
