Takes live reps Manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy (oblique) played in a simulated game at the team's spring training facility Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Muncy has already been reported to be targeting a return to the lineup at some point during the upcoming series against the Padres, and his participation in a simulated game further confirms that he's nearing activation from the injured list. The infielder has been sidelined since June 11 with a right oblique strain.

Progressing in recovery Muncy (oblique) is pain-free and remains on-track for a minimum stay on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact With his current trajectory, Muncy could return to the Dodgers on June 22 during what's likely to be a closely-fought Padres series. Though he had fallen into a cold, 3-for-21 stretch in eight games before the injury, Muncy still boasts a .418 OBP and has undoubtedly been one of the Dodgers' most impactful bats this season.

Brief IL stint expected Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said over the weekend that he anticipates Muncy (oblique) spending the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Roberts' comments imply some level of confidence that Muncy is dealing with a low-grade strain to his right oblique, but given the volatile timetables typically associated with this type of injury, it's hardly a given that the 30-year-old will be ready to return from the IL when first eligible June 22. Muncy will travel with the Dodgers for their six-game, two-city road trip that begins Friday, and he'll likely need to prove his health in batting practice and fielding and baserunning drills during the upcoming weekend in order to guarantee a brief IL stint.

Lands on injured list Muncy has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Muncy exited Friday's game with side tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said earlier Saturday that the infielder was going through tests to determine is he would have to go on the injured list. The severity of the strain isn't known at this point, but given that oblique injuries often lead to multi-week absences, Muncy seems likely to miss at least the rest of June, though he'll become eligible to be reinstated June 21. The Dodgers will likely provide further update later Saturday. Luke Raley was recalled in a corresponding roster move.

Out of Saturday lineup Muncy (side) is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Rangers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Muncy exited Friday's game with tightness in his right side. The severity of the issue is still not entirely clear, so it remains to be seen if an IL stint could be in the infielder's future. Albert Pujols will star at first base and bat fourth Saturday.
