Max Muncy Shut Down From Swinging Bat, Not Progressing In Rehab
5 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) was shut down from swinging a bat on Saturday. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Muncy is just "not progressing" in his rehab from his oblique strain. The shutdown pushes out the potential timeframe for any rehab stint until after the All-Star break, potentially longer. The shutdown is not good news for the Dodgers as their top-heavy lineup continues to deal with more injuries without much relief in sight. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Muncy to return until late in the season. Chris Taylor has been getting the bulk of the starts at third base for the Dodgers as of late. His season-long OPS of .500 is less than inspiring, but his .926 OPS in 45 PA over the last 30 days shows a little bit of promise going forward. If you need an option in a deep league then Taylor may be a solid option until he cools back off.
