Max Muncy Takes Soft-Toss Swings, Still No Timetable For A Return
3 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (oblique) picked up a bat for soft-toss swings on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts, but there's still no real timetable for his return from the injured list due to an oblique injury. It's notable progress from Muncy, but he's already been ruled out until at least August and could miss a good chunk of the second half of the 2024 season. The 33-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has been sidelined since May and was shut down from swinging after a setback on July 6. Once Muncy starts doing more baseball activities, he's then going to need a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment before the Dodgers reinstate him from the IL. The Dodgers probably aren't going to have much competition for the National League West down the stretch, so the main priority for the Blue will be having Muncy healthy for the postseason.
