Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (knee) had to leave Wednesday night's game after his knee was wrenched sideways in a collision with White Sox outfielder Michael A. Taylor on a stolen base attempt. Muncy got the tag down but paid the price, immediately grabbing his left knee and collapsing in pain. While it definitely could be a serious injury, he was able to walk off the field on his own power. After the game, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Muncy will have an MRI on Thursday but added, "A lot of the tests they did right now-we feel optimistic. Our hope is that it's a sprain." Either way, it looks like Muncy will land on the injured list, but if his ACL is intact, he could still return this season. The Dodgers and Muncy's fantasy managers will hope the MRI comes back in their favor. Looking ahead, the team holds an option for 2026 at $10 million, and the veteran's health will play a huge role in whether the team exercises that option for next season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (knee) had to leave the team's game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday after suffering an apparent left-knee injury in the sixth inning. Muncy required help getting off the field after tagging out Michael A. Taylor on a steal attempt. Taylor's helmet appeared to hit Muncy's knee on the play. The Dodgers replaced Muncy with Enrique Hernandez. They should have more on Muncy's status after the game. Muncy went 0-for-2 before departing, but the 34-year-old has been on a tear for several weeks. He's slashing .250/.375/.457 with 13 home runs and 55 RBI over 315 plate appearances.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is out of their lineup for the team's series finale with the hosting Colorado Rockies. The veteran will sit for the second time against a southpaw over the last week as he's batting just .118 (6-for-51) against them. Teammate Miguel Rojas will man the hot corner and bat ninth while he's on the bench. Muncy has picked it up over the last few months after an abysmal start to the season and has been particularly productive in June. In 67 at-bats on the month (22 hits), he's slashing a robust .328/.459/.642 with six home runs, 20 RBI, and 19 runs scored. Since the start of May, the 34-year-old has registered 11 long balls, 46 RBI, and more walks (33) than strikeouts (30).

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy stayed hot on Wednesday night in Colorado, going 2-for-4 with six RBI and two runs scored in the Dodgers' 8-1 win over the Rockies. He broke the game open with a grand slam in the seventh inning after opening the scoring with a two-RBI single in the sixth. Muncy's blast was his third in the last three games and his ninth in his last 26 games. In the 30 days, he is hitting .342 with a .491 wOBA and 55.4% hard-hit rate. Whether it's his new glasses or just a hot streak, Muncy is definitely rolling right now and can be a great play in all fantasy formats at the hot corner, especially on Thursday when he and the Dodgers close out their series at Coors Field. Muncy has struggled at times against lefties, but he's smashing righties, so he's also a great option to rotate based on splits and matchups if you have other options.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy put on a brilliant performance Sunday in a 13-7 win over the Washington Nationals. With the Dodgers trailing 3-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Muncy crushed a grand slam off left-hander Jose Ferrer to give the Dodgers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Muncy didn't stop there, adding a three-run homer in the seventh against righty Cole Henry. It's already the second time this season that Muncy has driven in seven runs in a game. The two-time All-Star owned a sub-.600 OPS as late as May 11, but his production has done a 180 since then. He's now hitting a more Muncy-like .242/.373/.442 with 11 HRs, 45 RBI, 31 runs, and four steals across 287 trips to the plate. He'll have a chance to keep rolling with the Dodgers set to start a three-game road series against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs in a 6-5 extra-inning victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday. Muncy hit his first homer in the first inning, a two-run shot to extend the Dodgers' lead to 4-1. His second homer was much more important, as it came with L.A. down by one in the bottom of the ninth and sent the game to extras. Muncy has been on an absolute surge at the plate lately, homering five times in his last four games and collecting 11 RBI in that stretch. Overall, Muncy has a .230 AVG and .781 OPS to go along with 19 runs, nine homers, 35 RBI, and two steals in 183 at-bats. When healthy, Muncy is still a very solid source of power and counting stats. He should be rostered in all standard-size leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy put on a show during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. He kicked off the scoring early with an RBI single in the first inning. He followed that with a three-run home run off right-hander Will Warren in the second inning. Muncy went deep again as he blasted another three-run homer, but this time off right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. in the fifth inning. He would finish his night going 3-for-6 with two homers, seven RBI, and three runs scored in the blowout victory. Muncy doesn't offer a ton of upside, but he has the power ability to put together games like this from time to time.

Los Angeles Dodgers veteran third baseman Max Muncy launched his fourth home run of the season on Tuesday, helping the Dodgers to a 9-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Muncy capped the victory with a 403-foot, three-run blast in the ninth inning. The 34-year-old also added a single, finishing 2-for-4 with an additional run scored and a walk. Muncy has seen lower production than he's used to this season, slashing just .212/.337/.345 with a .682 OPS in 51 games. He will look to build on this performance and regain his usual form in a potent Dodgers lineup.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy was seeing the baseball well Thursday night as he went 3-for-4 with four RBI, one home run, and two runs scored and helped the Dodgers win comfortably, 19-2. Muncy got the party going for the Dodgers in this contest, hitting the first home run of the evening and putting them ahead 3-1 in the first inning. Muncy has now homered in back-to-back contests, and over his last seven games, he's gone 9-for-27 with nine RBI. The third baseman has gotten off to a brutally slow start, slashing .207/.323/.341, but he has turned it around of late. During this stretch, he has been wearing prescription glasses to help improve his vision at the plate, as he was recently diagnosed with astigmatism. Regardless of the reason behind his recent hot stretch, he is starting to find a groove and would be worth a waiver wire pickup for those looking for a corner infielder.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy broke open Wednesday night's win over the Athletics with a three-run home run in the eighth inning off Tyler Ferguson. Muncy's homer was his only hit of the night, as he went 1-for-5 with a strikeout and three RBI. It was just his second home run of the season, and he is still hitting only .191 with a .285 wOBA on the year. He also has a 29 percent strikeout rate, which would be a career worst. The 34-year-old lefty veteran still has time to turn things around, especially if his homer on Wednesday is the start of a power surge. He'll need to find more consistency, though, before he becomes a regular fantasy option even in his regular role in the Dodgers' high-powered offense.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for Muncy with a left-handed starting pitcher on the mound for the A's. Normally, Muncy is worth rostering in fantasy formats due to his power ability. However, Muncy has been awful to start the season as he's slashing .186/.311/.294 with one home run and seven RBI heading into this contest. Kike Hernandez will bat sixth and cover third base versus left-hander Jeffrey Springs on Tuesday. Muncy is probably worth holding in deep leagues, but isn't offering much fantasy value right now.

Athletics infield prospect Max Muncy extended his current hitting streak at Triple-A to six games on Wednesday. In this contest, Muncy went 4-for-5 with a double. Across his first six games at the Triple-A, Muncy has posted an impressive .414/.400/.655 slash line with four doubles and one round-tripper. Muncy was able to break camp with the MLB roster, with Zack Gelof missing time. However, through his first 21 games in the MLB, Muncy posted an underwhelming .176/.211/.279 slash line with just one home run. During this stretch, he generated a low .248 xwOBA with a low 25.5 percent hard-hit rate. Fantasy managers should expect the No. 6-ranked prospect in the system to return to the big leagues later this summer, especially if he continues this steady production. For now, he is worth stashing in deeper AL-only formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy will retreat to the bench for Friday's series opener in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies with left-hander Jesus Luzardo toeing the rubber. Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas will get the nod at the hot corner and will hit eighth against Luzardo, who he has one hit against in just two career at-bats. Muncy has been cold to begin the 2025 season offensively, although he did have a two-run double in Wednesday's walk-off win over the Atlanta Braves. Overall, the 34-year-old veteran has gone just 3-for-25 with a run scored and two RBI in his first seven games, so perhaps a day of rest will do him some good on the road. Rojas, 36, isn't really known for his exploits with the bat, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere at third base in DFS. He has one hit in his first 16 at-bats this year.

Athletics infield prospect Max Muncy went 1-for-4 with his first career home run during their victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday evening. Muncy would go deep in the eighth off Seattle left-hander Tayler Saucedo. This was also his first career MLB hit. Muncy was able to break camp with the MLB roster due to Zack Gelof (wrist) opening the campaign on the injured list. During the first two games of the season, Muncy has been deployed as the starting second baseman. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development, but it appears he will continue to see everyday opportunities in the starting lineup. Last season, the former 25th overall pick posted a solid .277/.374/.491 line across 50 games at Triple-A. He is worth monitoring in deeper formats as he could be a viable middle infielder if he continues progressing at the MLB level.

Athletics second base prospect Max Muncy got the starting nod on Opening Day but went 0-for-3 at the plate. Muncy was able to earn a spot on the roster given his strong play in camp and due to Zack Gelof (wrist) opening the season on the IL. In Thursday's contest, Muncy struck out twice. In spring training, the 22-year-old posted a .282/.383/.385 slash line with a 6:11 BB:K. Last summer, the former 25th overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft spent most of his time at the Triple-A level. Across 50 contests in Las Vegas, Muncy posted an impressive .277/.374/.491 slash line with 11 doubles, eight long balls, and four stolen bases. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development as he could become the No. 1 second baseman while Gelof is sidelined. Luis Urias and Max Schuemann could also compete for starts.

Athletics infield prospect Max Muncy has made the Opening Day roster. Muncy is considered the No. 7 best prospect in the system on MLB Pipeline. The former 25th overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft spent most of the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level and will now make his MLB debut. Last summer, Muncy posted a solid .277/.374/.491 slash line with 11 doubles and eight home runs across 50 contests. During this stretch, the Thousand Oaks HS product swiped four bags and held an 18:50 BB:K. During spring training, Muncy posted a .289 AVG with one round-tripper. With top second baseman Zack Gelof (hand) set to undergo surgery and miss a significant portion of the campaign, fantasy managers should expect Muncy to compete for a starting role early in the season. He will likely split time at the keystone alongside Max Schuemann and Luis Urias. He is worth adding in all AL-only formats before Opening Day.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 2-for-2 with a single and a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mets. The 34-year-old also walked three times in the contest, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. Muncy has now homered in back-to-back games and it was his third home run of this postseason. If the 2x All-Star plays versus the LHP Jose Quintana on Thursday, he's had success against him in the past, going 2-for-9 with a home run and four walks against the veteran southpaw.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (side) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-handed slugger was scratched from Sunday's game due to soreness in his side. The Dodgers had a scheduled off day on Monday, which appears to have been enough for Muncy to get fully healthy. He'll cover third base and bat sixth versus right-hander Michael King. Muncy has been limited to 68 games this season, but he does have 15 home runs to his name. His ability to go deep gives him viable fantasy value.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy will out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. This is a much-needed day off for Muncy who has started in each of the last 10 games. The Dodgers also face a left-hander in Ryan Weathers, so probably not a bad time to give Muncy a day off. In his place, Kike Hernandez will cover third base and bat eighth versus Weathers. Hernandez has been quiet at the plate with a .214 batting average in 116 games this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and a strikeout in the team's 9-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday at Truist Park. Muncy's 15th home run of the season was a solo shot and came off reliever John Brebbia in the ninth inning in a frame in which the Dodgers exploded for three long balls and seven total runs. Since returning from a lengthy stint on the injured list due to an oblique injury on Aug. 19, the 34-year-old Muncy has hit .231 (15-for-65) with six home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI, 13 walks and 15 runs scored in 22 games (20 starts). Four of his six long balls have come in the last seven games, so Muncy is definitely heating up at the right time for an already potent and explosive Dodgers lineup. Muncy is not going to provide average help for fantasy managers, but you can't argue with his power and RBI opps in this Dodgers offense.
