Dodgers' Max Muncy: Goes deep Friday
Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-4 victory over the Yankees on Friday.
Los Angeles put up six first-inning runs against Luis Severino, with Muncy's shot to left-center field accounting for two of them. The third baseman began the week dealing with a mild hamstring issue, but it cost him only one game doesn't appear to be affecting his production, as he's driven in at least one run in each of the three contests since his return. Muncy is tied for second in the league with 18 homers this season, and three of those have come in his past five games.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Two runs in return
Muncy went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.
Muncy didn't play Monday due to left hamstring tightness, but it appears he's avoided anything worse than a minor issue. He's gone 5-for-11 (.455) over his last three games with two homers, four RBI, six runs scored and two doubles in that span. The infielder should be good to resume a near-everyday role. Muncy is slashing .214/.341/.532 with 17 homers, 39 RBI, 36 runs scored, a stolen base and four doubles through 50 contests.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Returns at third base Tuesday
Muncy (hamstring) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals.
Muncy missed Sunday's series finale against the Rays along with Monday's series opener against the Nats after making an early exit Saturday due to left hamstring tightness. It proved to just be a cramp, though, and he is starting at third base and batting third for the Dodgers on Tuesday night versus Washington.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Expected back Tuesday
Muncy (hamstring) is expected to return to the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Muncy departed Sunday's game against the Rays with a left hamstring cramp and isn't in the lineup for Monday's series opener with Washington. However, plans for an MRI have been scuttled because it was deemed unnecessary and the slugging third baseman looks like he'll need just one game off to recover from the injury.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Absent from Monday's lineup
Muncy (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Nationals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Muncy exited Sunday's game against the Rays with what was described as a left hamstring cramp. He has not yet had a scheduled MRI, per DiGiovanna, but the infielder thinks he'll only miss a day or two of action, for what it's worth. He'll begin Monday's game on the bench, with Chris Taylor drawing the start at the hot corner.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Suffers hamstring cramp
The Dodgers announced that Muncy's removal in the bottom of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Rays was due to a left hamstring cramp.
Muncy suffered the injury while running the bases in the top of the third, and though he was initially able to stay in the game, James Outman came off the bench to replace Muncy when the Dodgers returned to the field for defense in the bottom of the frame. Before departing, Muncy delivered the goods for fantasy managers, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run. So long as follow-up tests on his hamstring don't reveal any sort of strain, Muncy could conceivably return to the lineup for the Dodgers' next game Monday versus the Nationals.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Getting MRI
Muncy said after Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Rays that he will undergo an MRI on his left hamstring Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Though the Dodgers described Muncy's injury as a left hamstring cramp when he was removed in the bottom of the third inning, he'll still undergo imaging as the team looks to confirm that he's avoided a strain. Muncy, who went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run before exiting the contest, picked up the injury while running the bases in the top of the third. Even if the MRI yields good news, it wouldn't be surprising if Muncy sat out Monday's game against the Nationals for precautionary purposes.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Exits with apparent injury
Muncy left Sunday's game against the Rays after suffering an apparent injury in the top of the third inning, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored before leaving the contest.
Muncy was seen limping around while running the bases, and while he was initially able to stay in the game, he wasn't able to stay in the game when the Dodgers returned to the field in the bottom of the third. The Dodgers should provide an update on the hot-hitting Muncy later Sunday, but for now, he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with the Nationals.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Snaps slump Saturday
Muncy went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win against Tampa Bay.
Muncy came into the contest with just two hits -- both singles -- and 12 strikeouts over his past 27 at-bats. He emerged from the cold spell Saturday with a second-inning solo homer and an RBI double in the fourth frame. Muncy is tied for second in the league with 16 homers, tied for 10th with 37 RBI and tied for eighth with 32 walks, each of which has helped offset a .205 batting average.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Sitting Friday
Muncy isn't starting Friday against the Cardinals, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.
The Cardinals will begin Friday's contest with southpaw Steven Matz on the mound, providing a good excuse to give the lefty-hitting Muncy a breather. Chris Taylor will take over at third base and bat fifth.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Cranks another homer
Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's loss against the Cardinals.
Muncy pulled the Dodgers within one run with his solo shot in the seventh. It was his 15th of the season, as he trails Pete Alonso by one for the MLB lead in homers. Muncy took a step back in 2022 with his worst OPS in a Dodger uniform at .713, but he's bounced back with a phenomenal .943 OPS to start 2023.
