Postseason return possible Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy didn't suffer a UCL tear and won't require surgery on his left elbow, and there's a "glimmer of hope" he'll be able to play later in th...
Impact Muncy can be ruled out for the NL Wild Card Game on Wednesday, and it's also safe to say he'll be unavailable for the NLDS should Los Angeles beat St. Louis. It sounds like the 31-year-old has avoided a serious injury, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be able to return during the playoffs. Albert Pujols, Cody Bellinger and Matt Beaty will all be in the mix at first base for the Dodgers going forward.

Unlikely to play in wild-card game Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that it's "very unlikely" that Muncy (elbow) will appear in Wednesday's NL Wild Card Game, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Muncy is undergoing additional tests after he exited Sunday's regular-season finale with a left elbow injury, although the severity of the issue isn't yet known. Even though he likely won't be available for Wednesday's winner-take-all contest against the Cardinals, Roberts is slightly more optimistic that the infielder could return if the Dodgers advance to the NLDS but called him "unlikely" to appear in the best-of-five series.
