Max Muncy Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy carried the offense in a 7-1 victory on Saturday night in Chicago against the White Sox, going 3-for-3 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, and two walks to boost his season average to .272 and his OPS to .912. It was more than enough offense for the Dodgers on a night when starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto flirted with a perfect game. Despite being 35 years old, Muncy continues to rake and produce for the Dodgers and fantasy managers in his 11th year in the big leagues. He's now hitting .272/.372/.540 with a .912 OPS, 16 home runs, 28 RBI, and 46 runs scored in 65 games across 247 plate appearances this season. The two home runs on Saturday night were his first of the month, and he's now hitting .342 (13-for-38) with three doubles, seven RBI, and seven runs scored in 12 games during the month. Fantasy managers need to continue to ride Muncy while he's hot and pick him up in leagues where he's still available. Muncy is currently rostered in 83% of Yahoo leagues.

The Athletics reinstated infielder Max Muncy (hand) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Muncy, who has been out of action since late April due to a fractured left hand, went 10-for-27 on his minor-league rehab assignment with three home runs and two doubles in seven games. The 23-year-old should be back in the starting lineup for the A's on Monday, although the team is facing a tough left-handed pitcher in Milwaukee Brewers southpaw Kyle Harrison. With Zack Gelof hitting well and occupying third base in Sacramento for the A's, Muncy could play regularly at the 6 for the A's upon his return, at least until Jacob Wilson (shoulder) returns from his own stint on the IL. The former first-rounder in 2021 was hitting just .239 (22-for-92) at the plate with two home runs, seven RBI, 15 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 26 games at the time of his hand fracture, and he's rostered in only 9% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (nose) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Muncy was held out of the lineup on Friday after suffering a nose injury during a collision on Thursday. Luckily, Muncy has avoided any significant injuries and was only forced to miss one game. He'll cover third base and bat fifth versus right-hander Jack Kochanowicz on Saturday. Fantasy managers can safely get Muncy back in their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (nose) is out of the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener for the Freeway Series against the Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. Muncy was involved in a scary collision at first base on Thursday night with Diamondbacks infielder Ildemaro Vargas and was removed from the game after being checked on by trainers. The good news is that the 35-year-old passed concussion testing and is day-to-day, so Muncy could be back in the starting nine for Game 2 of the Freeway Series at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. Santiago Espinal is starting at third and will bat ninth on Friday versus Angels left-hander Reid Detmers. Muncy enters Friday's action hitting .254/.347/.513 with an .860 OPS, 14 home runs, 22 RBI, and 40 runs scored in his 189 at-bats for the Blue in his 11th year in the majors. Durability has become an issue for Muncy late in his career, but when healthy, he's still valuable in most fantasy leagues for his power and run production in the heart of the Dodgers' stacked lineup. UPDATE: Manager David Roberts said that Muncy is sore after Thursday's collision, but he otherwise feels fine and is expected to return to the starting lineup on Saturday.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (head) left Thursday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks early with shortness of breath and to rule out a concussion, the team announced. Muncy collided at first base in the fifth inning with D-backs infielder Ildemaro Vargas, and both players were pulled from the contest. It sounds as though Muncy may have avoided a serious injury, but he will probably be held out of the Freeway Series opener on Friday night back in L.A. against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Fantasy managers should consider Muncy day-to-day until we hear more on Friday. Before being pulled, Muncy went 1-for-2 at the plate for the Dodgers. The 35-year-old veteran and two-time All-Star came into Thursday's tilt slashing .251/.346/.513 with an .859 OPS, 14 home runs, 22 RBI, and 40 runs scored across his 187 at-bats. Muncy won't ever be a great source of average in fantasy, but he gets on base plenty and will continue to have RBI opportunities in the heart of the Dodgers' stacked lineup as long as he can stay healthy. UPDATE: Muncy passed concussion testing and has been diagnosed with a sore nose, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. He will sit out of Friday's game versus the Angels.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (wrist) is back at the hot corner and is hitting fifth on Wednesday against the division-rival Colorado Rockies and right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano, according to MLB.com. Muncy missed his fourth straight game in Tuesday night's blowout win over the Rockies at Dodger Stadium after originally being hit by a pitch on his right wrist last Friday in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, but he entered to play defense in the ninth inning on Tuesday night. Enrique Hernandez filled in at third for Muncy in each of the last two nights, but he suffered a significant oblique strain and is back on the injured list. The 35-year-old Muncy is now back in action and appears to be clear of needing an IL stint of his own. The veteran left-handed-hitting third baseman continues to be an asset for his power production in an elite Dodgers lineup, although he's cooled off of late, going 5-for-31 (.161) with a homer, double, two RBI, nine runs, six walks, and 12 K's in his last 10 games since May 12. In just two career at-bats against Sugano, Muncy has a homer and two RBI.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (wrist) is out for a fourth straight game as the Dodgers take on the division-rival Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium, according to MLB.com. And for the second straight day, Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat ninth against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. Muncy has not played since he was hit by a pitch on his wrist on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers, but manager Dave Roberts said the team hopes that he will return for Wednesday's contest against Colorado. However, if Muncy cannot return soon, he could be forced to the injured list. Hernandez just returned from the IL to make his season debut on Monday, and he had two hits and an RBI. The 34-year-old Puerto Rican isn't a great DFS play in the nine-hole, though, and he's hit just .160 with a .481 OPS and four RBI in 25 career at-bats against Freeland. Muncy has struggled at the plate of late before his wrist injury, going 8-for-44 (.182) with three homers, a double, six RBI, 11 runs scored, six walks, and 16 K's to drop his season line to .258/.363/.515.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (wrist) continues to be absent from the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Colorado Rockies, according to MLB.com. Enrique Hernandez, who is making his season debut, will start at third base and bat ninth against Rockies right-hander Tanner Gordon. Muncy is dealing with a right-wrist contusion and will miss his third straight game. The veteran left-handed slugger is considered day-to-day and doesn't appear to be in any danger of landing on the injured list, and he could return to the starting nine as early as Tuesday in L.A. The two-time All-Star is useful for his power and on-base skills in a stacked Dodgers lineup as long as he's healthy. Through 48 contests (190 plate appearances) with the Blue in his 11th year in the majors in 2026, Muncy is hitting .258/.363/.515 with an .878 OPS, 12 home runs, 19 RBI, and 36 runs scored. Muncy hasn't been as strong in May, though, hitting just .210 (13-for-62) with three homers, two doubles, eight RBI, and 13 runs scored.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (wrist) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee against the Brewers, according to MLB.com. Veteran Miguel Rojas will start at third base and will hit ninth in the batting order against Brewers right-hander Brandon Sproat. Muncy will miss the final two games of the series in Milwaukee after being hit by a pitch on his wrist on Friday in the loss. The 35-year-old veteran left-handed hitter is batting .258/.363/.515 on the season with an .878 OPS, 12 home runs, 19 RBI, and 36 runs scored across 48 games and 190 plate appearances so far in 2026 in his ninth year with L.A. The two-time All-Star has struggled a bit in May, batting .210 (13-for-62) with three long balls, two doubles, eight RBI, and 13 runs scored in 19 games played. Check back on Monday to see if he's feeling good enough to return for the series opener back in L.A. against the division-rival Colorado Rockies. Rojas has gone 20-for-75 (.267) this year with just one homer, and the Venezuelan should be avoided in DFS formats. UPDATE: Manager Dave Roberts said he doesn't expect Muncy to return for Monday's contest against the Rockies. Roberts also said that Muncy likely won't have a CT scan on his wrist on Monday.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (wrist) made an early exit from Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Muncy was taken out of the game after taking a 95.5 mph pitch off his hand/wrist area during the eighth inning. The expectation is that Muncy will undergo X-rays to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Muncy as day-to-day. He was 0-3 at the plate before making his exit from the contest. Miguel Rojas and Santiago Espinal are candidates to take over at third base if Muncy misses any time. UPDATE: X-rays came back negative on Muncy's right wrist on Friday night.
