Max Muncy Fantasy Stats

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.

Athletics third baseman Max Muncy (hand) has begun a swing progression, although his timetable for a return from the 10-day injured list is to be determined, according to Jason Burke. Muncy has already been out three-plus weeks due to a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. Because the 23-year-old has been out already for an extended period of time, he will surely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's reinstated from the IL. Fantasy managers in AL-only leagues shouldn't expect him back with the A's until early June. In the meantime, Zack Gelof will continue to see elevated playing time at the hot corner in Sacramento. The 26-year-old former second-rounder is currently hitting .250 (22-for-88) with five homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs, and four steals in 31 contests and has become a waiver-wire option in deeper formats. Muncy was hitting just .239 (22-for-92) at the time of his hand injury with two homers, seven RBI, 15 runs, and two steals. He could be fighting for playing time at third with Gelof when he returns.

Athletics third baseman Max Muncy (hand) is still being held out of all baseball activities, and there is no timetable for his return, per MLB.com. Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 26 with a left-hand fifth metacarpal fracture. The 23-year-old third baseman was originally hit by a pitch on his hand on April 23. Before landing on the IL, the former 25th overall pick in 2021 had gone 22-for-92 (.239) at the plate with two home runs, seven RBI, 15 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 26 games in 2026. In his first taste of big-league pitching last year, Muncy slashed .214/.259/.379 with a .638 OPS, nine home runs, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored, and a stolen base across 63 contests and 220 plate appearances. Since he has yet to resume baseball activities, Muncy might not be ready to return to the A's lineup until June. Recently, Zack Gelof has taken advantage of the open playing time at the hot corner in Sacramento for the A's. Muncy is currently rostered in only 12% of Yahoo leagues.

Athletics infielder Max Muncy (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, retroactive to April 26. Muncy is dealing with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. He reportedly suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch on April 13, but the fracture wasn't revealed until he underwent an MRI on Monday. Given the severity of the injury, fantasy managers should expect Muncy to miss more than the 10-day minimum on the IL. In a corresponding move, Brett Harris was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to take over the roster spot. Darell Hernaiz figures to see a majority of the playing time at the hot corner in Muncy's absence.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (illness) is back at third base and will hit sixth on Monday against the visiting Miami Marlins and right-hander Chris Paddack in the series opener at Dodger Stadium, according to MLB.com. Muncy missed Saturday's win over the Chicago Cubs due to an illness, and he was held out of the series finale on Sunday as a regular day of rest. The veteran left-handed-hitting slugger is feeling much better to start the new week, and he should be returned to starting fantasy lineups where he's rostered. The 35-year-old two-time All-Star has been swinging a hot bat in the first month of the 2026 season, slashing .300/.394/.633 with a 1.028 OPS, nine home runs, 11 RBI, and 22 runs scored in 26 games played. Muncy should especially be back in starting lineups against a right-handed pitcher prone to the long ball. In 15 career at-bats against Paddack, Muncy is hitting .267 with a 1.189 OPS and two solo home runs.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy's power game hasn't gone away early in the 2026 campaign, and fantasy managers should be plucking him off the waiver wire due to his hot start. Muncy had another two-homer performance while going 4-for-4 with four runs scored and a walk in the team's 12-3 blowout win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Monday night in the series finale. Catcher Dalton Rushing also went deep twice for the Blue in this contest. Muncy has eight home runs on the year, but somehow he only has nine RBI to show for it. The 35-year-old left-handed slugger still swings and misses plenty, and he won't be an asset for your fantasy team's batting average, but he deserves to be rostered in more than the 51% that he's currently rostered in Yahoo leagues due to his power bat and on-base skills in an elite Dodgers lineup. RBI opportunities will continue to be plentiful for Muncy as long as he stays healthy.
