""It was more of the ball to the head in San Francisco," Roberts said. "Used him [Tuesday] to try to just get on base, but he was still a little fuzzy. But fine, and today he feels better. "I just wanted to give him an extra day. Definitely not a platoon.""
""He made a joke about it, but he just wasn't as with it as he normally is," Roberts said. "But he was fine enough to play [Tuesday], take an at-bat, and today he feels better. "For me, there's a lefty today, why not get Kiké an opportunity to get untracked, why not keep Miggy Ro going. That was kind of my math too.""
Max Muncy was left out of the Dodgers' lineup for the series finale against the Phillies, with Kiké Hernández starting at third base. He did pinch-hit Tuesday and has missed two starts, but the skip was a precaution after being hit in the head in San Francisco. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the rest was to give Muncy an extra day, not a platoon move or a response to a left-handed starter. Muncy exited Saturday after the HBP, returned Monday and homered, and there is no indication he needs concussion protocol or the seven-day IL.
