MAX MUNCY NEWS

Exits after HBP to wrist Muncy departed Thursday's game against the Athletics after taking a pitch off his left forearm/wrist, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Muncy was struck by a 91.3 mph JP Sears fastball in the bottom of the fifth inning, though he ran for himself and played third base in the top of the sixth before David Peralta replaced him in the lineup during the Dodgers' four-run bottom of the sixth. There should be an update on Muncy's status after the game.

Impact Muncy scored the Dodgers' first run of the game on a David Peralta second-inning double and went on to cross the plate three more times, setting a career-high mark with four total runs. One of those came on a third-inning solo shot that gave Muncy two homers over his past three games. During that span, the third baseman had gone 5-for-13 with four extra-base hits, six runs scored, five RBI and a pair of walks.

Homers in loss Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's loss against Baltimore.

Impact Muncy crushed a 431-foot homer to center field in the top of the fifth to score Freddie Freeman and bring the Dodgers back within two runs of Baltimore. The third baseman had gone 0-for-13 at the plate over his previous three games coming in and is still batting just .180 in the month of July after batting .111 through all of June. He does, however, have four long balls this month to go along with eight RBI and 10 runs scored.

Swats 21st homer Muncy went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

Impact Muncy has homered three times over his last six games, accounting for half of his hits in that span. Prior to this surge, he'd gone 14 contests without a long ball, though there was a two-week absence with a hamstring injury in that span. Muncy is slashing .198/.331/.476 with 21 homers, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored and a stolen base over 72 games this season.

Impact Muncy has gone 7-for-28 (.250) over his last eight contests while smacking two homers and adding six RBI in that span. His blast Thursday was his 20th of the campaign -- a mark he's reached in each of the last five full seasons. The infielder is still batting just .195, but he's slugging .469 with 51 RBI, 46 runs scored, one stolen base and six doubles through 70 contests.

Homers in win Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact The homer was Muncy's first in seven games since he returned from a hamstring injury. He's gone just 5-for-22 (.227) over that span. The infielder is at a .195/.322/.468 slash line with 19 homers, 49 RBI, 43 runs scored and a stolen base through 67 contests. Muncy may hit the bench occasionally against southpaws, but his solid power should keep him out of a strict platoon. Yonny Hernandez is his top competition for playing time at third base.

Day off Saturday Muncy will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact Since returning from a hamstring injury Tuesday, Muncy has started against three righties while sitting against two lefties, including Saturday's starter Daniel Lynch. That's likely due more to the Dodgers' desire to ease him back into a full workload than a decision to shift him into a platoon role, though his .141/.253/.375 line against lefties this season doesn't make a great case for him to face many southpaws. Yonny Hernandez will handle the hot corner Saturday.

Knocks in three runs Thursday Muncy went 2-for-6 with a double, a run and three RBI in Thursday's 14-3 rout against the Rockies.

Impact Muncy returned Tuesday from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, and he collected his first knock since being activated with a two-run double in the fourth inning Thursday. The slugger followed with a run-scoring single in the fifth for his first multi-hit performance since May 30. Muncy has been productive with 18 homers, 48 RBI and 41 runs on the campaign, and he's posted a respectable .321 OBP thanks to his 15.4 percent walk rate. However, his batting average currently sits at .192, which puts him in line to potentially finish below the Mendoza Line for the third time in the past four seasons.
