Max Muncy To Start Swinging On Thursday
4 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) "crossed a hurdle" in his rehab after going to see a chiropractor. Muncy will start swinging a bat on Thursday, but there's still no timetable for his return from the injured list. It's a big step for the 33-year-old left-handed-swinging veteran, but with no timetable and the Dodgers not rushing him back, it's fair to wonder if Muncy will rejoin the big-league roster before the end of August. He has been out since the middle of the May with an oblique strain, which are often tricky injuries for hitters to return from. Muncy has had multiple setbacks along the way. At this point, the Dodgers' only goal is to have the veteran ready for the start of the playoffs. The two-time All-Star is not going to provide fantasy managers with a high average, but when healthy, he has high-end power from the left side in an extremely dangerous Dodgers lineup.
