Expected back in lineup Tuesday Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that he expects Muncy (oblique) to return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Roberts said over the weekend that he anticipated the infielder being activated from the 10-day IL either Tuesday or Wednesday. It now looks like the club has zeroed in on Tuesday to reinstate Muncy, so if all goes to plan, the 30-year-old should be back in the middle of the Los Angeles lineup for the second game of the three-game set.

Eyeing return Tuesday or Wednesday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he expects Muncy (oblique) to return from the 10-day injured list either Tuesday or Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Roberts said the same timeline applies to Cody Bellinger (hamstring), so the Dodgers should return two of their top hitters to the lineup at some point during their three-game series with the Padres that begins Monday. Muncy was able to play in a simulated game over the weekend and looks to be progressing well from the right oblique strain that forced him to the IL on June 12.
