Max Muncy Girlfriend

Muncy’s girlfriend Kelley Cline has been along for his whole wild journey. Max has been through turmoil in his rise to nearly becoming an All-Star for the 2018 Dodgers.  It took a little digging to find out Both Max and Kelley are from Texas.  But as I’ve so often been forced to do writing these posts, I’m learning some new geography.

Max is from Midland.  And Kelley is from Southlake, Texas.  That is a stunning 5-hour drive.  But, the Texas connection continued, when they both attended Baylor at the same time. But, Max is a lucky one.  Max Muncy’s girlfriend has been there every step of the way.  And she’s proudly posted pictures of herself smiling with Max in the various uniforms, in the various stadiums.

Hopefully, for them, this is their last stop for a while.  She was there for his Major League debut, and she was there for his first Dodgers start.  That loyal support is incredible in this game. When she’s not being a kickass loyal girlfriend, Kelley is an associate buyer at Stanley Korshak.

Max Muncy Injury

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Max Muncy off the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s series opener against the New York Mets. He returns just over two weeks removed from suffering a right wrist fracture. He was hit by a pitch and immediately removed from the series finale against the San Diego Padres.

Fluoroscopy at Petco Park that night did not reveal the fracture, though Muncy was still experiencing a limited range of movement and discomfort the following day. That prompted an X-ray, which also came back negative, but an MRI revealed the small fracture. Although he was due to miss some time, Muncy considered the prognosis a bit of a best-case scenario.
