Takes reps at third base Muncy fielded ground balls at third base during pregame infield practice Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact While Justin Turner remains on the injured list, the Dodgers will likely mix and match starters at the hot corner. Edwin Rios got the start there Tuesday -- Muncy was in the lineup at first base, as usual -- but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Muncy make a start or two at third in Turner's absence. He started 26 games at the hot corner last season and has logged six starts there so far in 2020.

Hyperextends elbow Muncy hyperextended elbow on a play at first base during Tuesday's loss to the Giants, but he was able to stay in the game, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
Impact The play occurred in the sixth inning when Muncy reached for a throw. The 30-year-old insisted that he was fine, however, and played out the remainder of the 11-inning contest. Muncy was included in Wednesday's lineup before the game was postponed, so the issue does not appear to be of concern.
