Max Muncy News
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy, shortstop Gavin Lux and outfielder Josh Outman, who all hit left-handed, are out of Saturday's lineup against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays. Enrique Hernandez will play third and bat sixth, Miguel Rojas is at shortstop and hitting eighth, and rookie Andy Pages is in center field and will bat seventh for the Blue. Muncy is hitting a modest .258 (23-for-89) this year with five home runs and 18 RBI, but he's gone just 5-for-25 (.200) with one homer and 10 strikeouts against lefties. Lux has struggled in general, hitting .183 (13-for-71) and has yet to go deep. Outman's fantasy stock has really fallen as he's fallen into a platoon with Pages. Hernandez is the DFS play to consider with a .256 career average and 55 homers in 1,417 plate appearances against southpaws. He's also hitting .308 in 13 career at-bats against Kikuchi.
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's afternoon tilt against the Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Kike Hernandez will take over at the hot corner and hit fifth on Thursday. It's been another excellent season at the plate for the veteran who is hitting .241 with four homers, 15 RBI, a 14.7% BB%, and an .811 OPS across 102 trips to the plate, production that grades out 25% above the league average, as per his 125 wRC+. His season has contained some swing-and-miss with a bloated 32.4% K% on the season but fantasy managers can expect that mark to drop considering his 24.8% career mark.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Muncy has gone 6-for-21 with three RBI, no home runs and 10 strikeouts through five games this season. The 33-year-old should continue to be a prominent source of home runs and RBI in 2024, but that will come at the cost of an unattractive batting average. Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat sixth against Cardinals left-hander Steven Matz.

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.
