Dodgers News: MLB Writer Expects Max Muncy to Bounce Back in 2023 He sees him having a rebound season.
Slugs first homer of 2023 Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies.
Impact The home run was the first of the season for Muncy, who recently moved past a lower-body injury that kept him out for a game. Though he came away with hits in his first two trips to the plate Tuesday, Muncy still doesn't look to be completely dialed in just yet, as he struck out swinging and looking in his final two plate appearances. He's struck out in 11 of his 23 plate appearances to date (47.8 percent).

Returns to lineup Muncy (groin) is back in the Dodgers' lineup Monday for their game against the Rockies.
Impact Muncy was hit by a pitch in the groin area Saturday and sat out Sunday's game, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Monday. He'll be at third base and batting cleanup against Ryan Feltner.

Impact The 32-year-old was hit by a pitch in a "very sensitive area of his body" Saturday and is still experiencing some soreness Sunday. Muncy will take it easy for a day or two but should make a relatively quick return to the lineup.

Out of lineup Sunday Muncy (lower body) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.
Impact Muncy was hit in the lower body by a pitch during Saturday's victory over Arizona, and the infielder is unsurprisingly out of the lineup for the series finale against the D-Backs. Chris Taylor gets the start at third base in Muncy's place and he'll hit eighth against Zach Davies and the Diamondbacks' pitching staff.

Impact Muncy was hit by a pitch in the groin area, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that he "ad an interaction with a baseball that he needed to catch his breath a little." There's a very good chance Muncy will miss Sunday's game, and the evaluation will give clearance on whether this is a short or long-term injury for the infielder.

Wears platinum sombrero Opening Day Muncy went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts in Thursday's 8-2 victory versus the Diamondbacks.
Impact Muncy made some plate adjustments this spring with the hope that he could improve upon his .196/.329/.384 slash line from last season, and his Cactus League results were solid, as he slashed .304/.418/.587 with three homers. The third baseman wasn't able to carry over the positive spring to Thursday, however, as he became just the second major-leaguer in history to strike out five times on Opening Day, per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com. Muncy should have a long leash as a middle-of-the order bat for Los Angeles and will be given plenty of opportunity to bounce back from the season-opening platinum sombrero, but the performance is a reminder to fantasy managers that Muncy has hit below .200 in two of his past three campaigns.

Adjusts approach at plate Muncy is no longer using a step-back in his swing as he did for the latter part of last season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Muncy adopted the step-back last year in part to "lock things in place" following a rough start to the campaign that was likely connected to lingering ligament damage in his elbow. Ardaya reports that Muncy visited Driveline in the offseason and took up weighted bat training that has resulted in a quicker swing, and the veteran appears to be back to full health for the coming campaign. Muncy has so far shown positive results this spring, slashing .292/.393/.500 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI over 28 plate appearances.
