Max Muncy's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went 1-for-2 with two runs, two walks and a solo home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Seattle Mariners. The veteran returned from the injured list on Monday and has now homered in consecutive contests. Muncy missed just over three months with a strained oblique, but is rewarding managers that stashed him with some power early on. Although the Dodgers may elect to give Muncy some regular days off amongst his return, he is still a valuable member in most formats due to his power, which does come at the expensive of a low batting average. Muncy will look to homer in third consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Mariners in a tough matchup versus starting pitcher Logan Gilbert.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated off the injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This is a welcoming sight for the Dodgers who could use a boost of offense with Freddie Freeman (finger) being sidelined right now. It's worth noting that Muncy took grounders at first base ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 33-year-old primarily plays third base but he could see some action at first base until Freeman returns. Muncy is slashing .223/.323/.475 with nine homers and 28 RBI in 40 games this season. The boost of power will be a nice addition to this lineup.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) is scheduled to come off the injured list and rejoin the team on Tuesday during their series at Dodger Stadium against the Seattle Mariners. The Dodgers are getting healthy at the right time as they look to hold off the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres in the National League West. Muncy, 33, could be eased in initially, but eventually, he'll be the team's regular at third base to close out the year. The left-handed slugger has been out since May 15 due to an oblique strain, but when healthy, he can provide high-end power and on-base skills for fantasy managers in all formats. Before his injury, he was hitting .223/.323/.475 with nine home runs and 28 RBI in 139 at-bats. Make sure he's not available on your league's waiver wire.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) played in his first rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, kicking off what will be about a week-long minor-league assignment. Muncy is scheduled to play seven innings on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. If all goes well during his rehab stint on his way back from a lengthy absence due to a strained right oblique, Muncy could be activated before the series opener against the Seattle Mariners next Monday. The 33-year-old three-true-outcomes slugger was slashing .223/.323/.475 with nine home runs, eight doubles, and 28 RBI over 167 plate appearances (40 games) for the Dodgers before going on the injured list in the middle of May. He should slot right back into the heart of LA's batting order upon his return and help fantasy managers with power stats the rest of the way.

Los Angeles Dodgers president Andrew Friedman said that he expects both third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) and infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) to be reinstated from the injured list for the team's next homestand, which begins a week from Monday. Muncy and Edman were set to start their minor-league rehab assignments over the weekend with Triple-A Oklahoma City, so barring a setback, they should both be with the Dodgers' big-league roster soon. Muncy has been out since May 17 with a right-oblique strain, while Edman has yet to play in 2024 after having offseason wrist surgery. The Dodgers acquired him from the Cardinals at the July 30 trade deadline. LA could ease both of them into their starting lineup when they are ready, but by the end of the regular season, both Muncy and Edman should be regular lineup pieces for the Blue.
