Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers sustained a left knee bone bruise after an impact injury from Michael A. Taylor. Muncy has been placed on the 10-day injured list, with an expected recovery time of around six weeks. Manager Dave Roberts believes the team will not pursue a third baseman ahead of the trade deadline, citing confidence in existing players to cover the position. The team plans to utilize Tommy Edman, Kiké Hernández, and Miguel Rojas at third base during Muncy's absence.
I don't think that changes much, with knowing the certainty of Max coming back at some point. I feel that with the options we have, yes Max is a big loss, but I feel like on the defensive side, having Tommy over there, matching up right versus left as far as Hyeseong, and the two right-handers that I mentioned, I think we'll be covered offensively.
Muncy initially feared the worst with his knee injury and was encouraged to hear he could return this season.
