Expected back Tuesday Muncy (hamstring) is expected to return to the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Muncy departed Sunday's game against the Rays with a left hamstring cramp and is not in the lineup Monday. However, plans for an MRI have been scuttled because it was deemed unnecessary and it sounds like it will be just a one-day absence for the slugger.

Absent from Monday's lineup Muncy (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Nationals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Muncy exited Sunday's game against the Rays with what was described as a left hamstring cramp, although he had been set to undergo an MRI and the results of that haven't been revealed. At the very least, he'll begin Monday's game on the bench, with Chris Taylor drawing the start at the hot corner.

Getting MRI Muncy said after Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Rays that he will undergo an MRI on his left hamstring Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Though the Dodgers described Muncy's injury as a left hamstring cramp when he was removed in the bottom of the third inning, he'll still undergo imaging as the team looks to confirm that he's avoided a strain. Muncy, who went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run before exiting the contest, picked up the injury while running the bases in the top of the third. Even if the MRI yields good news, it wouldn't be surprising if Muncy sat out Monday's game against the Nationals for precautionary purposes.

Suffers hamstring cramp The Dodgers announced that Muncy's removal in the bottom of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Rays was due to a left hamstring cramp.
Impact Muncy suffered the injury in question while running the bases in the top of the third, and though he was initially able to stay in the game, James Outman came off the bench to replace Muncy when the Dodgers returned to the field for defense in the bottom of the frame. Before departing, Muncy delivered the goods for fantasy managers, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run. So long as follow-up tests on his hamstring don't reveal any sort of strain, Muncy could conceivably return to the lineup for the Dodgers' next game Monday versus the Nationals.

Impact The 32-year-old struck out in both his plate appearances and was ejected for arguing a called third strike during the fourth inning. Muncy should be back in the lineup Monday in Atlanta, while Chris Taylor replaced him at third base Sunday.

Dodgers win in 12th on bases-loaded walk, Muncy homers twice to regain major-league lead
Chris Taylor scored on a bases-loaded walk in the 12th inning, Max Muncy homered twice to move back into the major league lead, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Minnesota Twins...MAY 16, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Launches two more homers Muncy went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 9-8 win over Minnesota.
Impact Muncy took over the MLB lead in homers with his 13th and 14th on Monday. With a .925 OPS, Muncy could end up posting his second ever season with an OPS over .900. The batting average is only .216, but great plate discipline and some extra power has Muncy rolling in 2023. He is on pace to top 40 home runs for the first time in his career.

Sitting versus lefty Wednesday Muncy is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Brewers.
Impact Muncy will head to bench after he went 1-for-18 with two RBI, a run scored and seven punchouts over his last five games. Pair that with the fact that left-hander Wade Miley toes the rubber for Milwaukee on Wednesday and Muncy is batting .139 over 36 at-bats versus southpaws in 2023, it's a good day to give the 32-year-old a breather. Chris Taylor will draw the start at third base and bat fourth in the series finale with the Brewers.
