Max Muncy News
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right-oblique strain. Muncy didn't play the series opener on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds, and now we know why. Given the nature of the injury and the fact that Muncy is on the wrong side of 30, he's almost certainly going to miss more than 10 days as he tries to recover from this injury. Muncy isn't helping fantasy teams at all with his batting average, but his power and run production make him worth stashing in all fantasy formats. He currently has nine home runs and 28 RBI in 167 plate appearances in 2024. The Dodgers called up infielder Miguel Vargas from the minors on Friday, and both he and Enrique Hernandez could share playing time at the hot corner for the next several weeks with Muncy out.
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is not in Thursday's lineup while the team goes against Cincinnati Reds southpaw Brent Suter. The 33-year-old has only made seven starts this season against left-handed pitchers. Muncy has been showcasing his elite power once again this season with nine long balls and a .475 SLG through 40 games. As a result, Kike Hernandez will occupy the hot corner. Hernandez enters Thursday's game with a modest .220/.278/.305 line with just two home runs. However, Hernandez will bat in the five-hole and is worth considering in DFS as he will be right in the middle of a potent Dodgers lineup. He will face Brent Suter, who enters Thursday with a 3.86 ERA; however, he is only likely to pitch a few frames as he will serve as the opener in a bullpen game for Cincinnati.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers have rewarded Muncy with a day off after his three-homer game on Saturday. This seems like a fitting time given the Dodgers are up against tough left-hander Max Fried. In his absence, Enrique Hernandez will cover third base and bat fifth on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy had himself a season in 2023. The veteran posted career-highs with 36 home runs and 105 RBI, ranking him second and first, respectively, among all big-league third basemen. He did so while exercising his typical patience at the plate as he walked in 14.7% of his plate appearance, although he did see a minor jump in his strikeout rate to 26.4% from his 24.5% career mark. While he hit just .212 and has hit below .200 in two of his last four seasons, the 33-year-old ranked in the 87th percentile in xwOBA and 90th in barrel rate. He has consistently underperformed his xwOBA but has ranked in the 76th percentile or better in that category in each of the last six seasons and the 87th percentile or better four times in that stretch. Considering he was arguably the best offensive third baseman in baseball last season, his 168.37 ADP as the 16th third baseman off the board seems rather suspect on a loaded Dodgers offense. If you can get him there, he could be the steal of the draft.
