Max Muncy Resumes Swinging Friday
2 days agoLos Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique), who was transferred to the 60-day injured list last Friday, is with the team on Friday on the trip for the weekend series against the division-rival San Francisco Giants as he begins taking some swings off a tee. Muncy is still not close to a return and isn't eligible to be reinstated until after the mid-July All-Star break, but he has begun making some progress in what has been a much longer stay on the IL with a strained right oblique than initially anticipated. While the earliest that Muncy can return doesn't arrive for about another three weeks, fantasy managers should make sure he isn't floating around any waiver wires in shallow formats. The 33-year-old three-true-outcomes slugger was slashing an effective .223/.323/.476 with nine home runs, eight doubles, and 28 RBI across 167 plate appearances as LA's everyday third baseman before going on the shelf.
