Dodgers' Max Muncy: Back in starting nine
Muncy (wrist) will start at third base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Rockies.
Muncy missed four straight starts after taking a pitch off his wrist Friday, but he entered Tuesday's contest in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement, and he's now officially been cleared to return to the starting lineup. The veteran third baseman had started eight consecutive games before getting injured and went 5-for-27 (.185) with a homer, two RBI and nine runs scored in that span.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Enters on defense Tuesday
Muncy (wrist) played third base during the ninth inning of Tuesday's 15-6 rout of the Rockies.
Muncy was absent from the starting lineup for the fourth straight game after getting hit on the right wrist by a pitch Friday. However, he logged game action Tuesday for the first time since that HBP, entering in the ninth inning to play third base with the Dodgers up 15-1 and Miguel Rojas, who started at the hot corner, mopping up on the mound. Though Muncy didn't swing a bat, he did cleanly handle a grounder to third base and made the throw to first to record an out. The defensive appearance further buoys the belief that Muncy isn't going to need a stint on the IL, and he could in fact be back in the Dodgers' lineup as soon as Wednesday for the series finale.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: CT scan scrapped
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Muncy likely won't need a CT scan on his right wrist, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Roberts noted that the third baseman's improvement from Saturday to Sunday was enough to forego the imaging. That's an encouraging development for Muncy, who hasn't played since being hit on the right wrist by a pitch Friday. The manager had already suggested that Muncy probably won't be available Monday for the opening of a three-game set versus Colorado, but it sounds like he could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Likely to remain out Monday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he doesn't expect Muncy (wrist) to be available to play Sunday against the Brewers or Monday against the Rockies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
The skipper is seemingly leaving the door open for Muncy to potentially serve as a pinch hitter Monday if he's able to take batting practice without issue, but the Dodgers are more likely to give the 35-year-old three full days off to let the swelling in his right wrist subside. Miguel Rojas will start at third base in place of Muncy in Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Not in Sunday's lineup
Muncy (wrist) is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Brewers on Sunday.
Muncy will end up sitting for the last two games of the weekend series against Milwaukee after he was hit on the wrist by a pitch in Friday's contest. Miguel Rojas will draw the start at the hot corner and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Taking seat Saturday
Muncy (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.
Manager Dave Roberts said after Friday's loss that Muncy will likely sit out the remainder of the Dodgers' series against the Brewers after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch. The 35-year-old wasn't likely to play Saturday anyway, with southpaw Robert Gasser set to take the mound for Milwaukee. Santiago Espinal will man the hot corner and bat ninth.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: X-rays negative
X-rays on Muncy's right wrist came back negative after Friday's game against the Brewers, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Muncy was pulled from Friday's contest in the eighth inning after taking a pitch off his wrist. Although he avoided a fracture, manager Dave Roberts said the 35-year-old slugger is dealing with some swelling and will likely have to sit out the Dodgers' next few games. Santiago Espinal is likely to start at third base while Muncy is down, though Miguel Rojas could also be in the mix for playing time.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Exits after HBP
Muncy was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Muncy was taken out of the game immediately after taking a 95.5 mph sinker off his hand/wrist in the eighth inning. He'll likely be sent in for X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Dodgers may have more information on his status after the game. If the 35-year-old veteran ends up needing to miss time, Santiago Espinal and Miguel Rojas would be in play to start at the hot corner.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Pops homer in Friday's win
Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-0 win over the Angels.
Muncy has three homers over his last five games, adding five RBI and six runs scored in that span. The third baseman has remained a reliable strong-side platoon hitter, though he's also gotten into the lineup versus left-handed pitchers six times. His splits are not as extreme this year as they were last year -- he's posted a .948 OPS versus right-handers and an .890 OPS against southpaws in 2026. Overall, he's maintained a .275/.372/.563 slash line with 12 homers, 18 RBI, 31 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases across 164 plate appearances.

Through 39 games, he's slashing .280/.375/.568 with 11 homers, 17 RBI and 27 runs scored.

Muncy (illness) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's contest against the Marlins.
Muncy was under the weather over the weekend, forcing an early exit from Saturday's game versus the Cubs. He did not play Sunday, though the Dodgers said he had been scheduled for a day off, anyway.

Muncy (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

The ailment apparently isn't responsible for Muncy's absence from the lineup Sunday, however, as he was scheduled for a day off versus Chicago lefty Shota Imanaga. Santiago Espinal is picking up a start at third base in the series finale.

Muncy was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs in the fourth inning due to an apparent illness, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Surrenders five runs in loss
Sugano (1-1) took the loss Friday against the Dodgers, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts across four innings.
Sugano entered Friday with a 2.16 ERA across his first three starts with the Rockies, but the Dodgers' potent offense was able to tag him early and often in this one. Los Angeles scored in all four innings Sugano pitched Friday. Max Muncy's solo shot in the second was the fifth homer Sugano has surrendered this season, and three of those have come away from Coors Field. Sugano's numbers are still overstating his case, as his 5.39 FIP coming into Friday suggested some regression was coming for the right-hander. Sugano now owns a 3.92 ERA and 15:5 K:BB across 20.2 innings. He's slated to face the Padres at Coors next week.

Muncy is slashing .254/.338/.556 with seven RBI, 14 runs scored and an 8:24 BB:K across 71 plate appearances. Muncy has homered or struck out in 42.3 percent of his trips to the plate.
