Max Muncy News
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (shoulder) has returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins, playing third base and batting cleanup. Muncy was held out of Tuesday's contest with a minor left-shoulder injury, but he's back in there now and should be returned to fantasy lineups immediately. The 33-year-old left-handed-hitting All-Star is barely hitting over the Mendoza Line at .206 (82-for-399) on the year, but he's provided fantasy managers with plenty of power and run production for the first-place Dodgers. In 114 games for the Blue, Muncy has 32 home runs, 15 doubles, 91 RBI and 76 runs scored in 481 plate appearances. He's currently four home runs shy of tying his career-high in homers set in 2021.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (shoulder) is not in the team's lineup as they take on the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Muncy hurt his left shoulder during a swing in Sunday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves and had to be removed early, and he'll take another day off on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should continue to consider the 33-year-old left-handed hitter to be day-to-day this week. Check back on Wednesday to see if he has returned. Enrique Hernandez is starting at third and hitting fifth, while Will Smith will serve as the designated hitter and bat third against Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo on Tuesday. Muncy is barely hitting over the Mendoza Line but does have 32 home runs, 91 RBI and 76 runs scored in 114 games in 2023.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (shoulder) has been removed early during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The left-handed slugger tweaked his shoulder on a swing, which resulted in his departure from the ballgame. Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts said postgame that Muncy should be fine and shouldn't require a trip to the injured list. He could need a few days off, but should be back in the lineup within the next week.

Few hitters were tougher for pitchers to deal with in 2021 than Muncy, who hit 36 homers and drove in 94 runs in 592 plate appearances for the Dodgers. He was arguably the best hitter in the league in terms of the power and contact combination with his elite 16.1% Brl% and 78% contact rate. It is pretty rare to find a guy striking out so rarely (20.4%) while still hitting homers at an elite rate (16.3 PA/HR). He also posted another high walk rate (14%), which he used to post yet another elite OBP of .368. There are very few holes to poke in Muncy's game at the plate. The problem is the health concerns. He was injured in a collision at first base on the regular season's final day, and missed all of the playoffs. That later was revealed to be a torn UCL, which is threatening to cause him to miss the beginning of the 2022 season. Any positive news about the elbow should (and will) push his ADP up substantially, which could make him a massive steal in early drafts. No matter where you get Muncy, the only way you will be disappointed is if the health does not return, and that is a gamble you should be willing to take.
