Swipes bag in loss Munoz went 2-for-5 with two singles and a stolen base Wednesday in an 8-4 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Munoz made his fourth consecutive start Wednesday and was one of three Red Sox players to record multiple hits on the night while also stealing his second base of the season. The 25-year-old is hitting .349/.349/.535 with a home run, four RBI and six runs scored in 43 at-bats this season and will continue to occupy a role in the outfield, starting regularly alongside Alex Verdugo and Jackie Bradley.

Gets fourth straight start Munoz will start in right field and will bat sixth Wednesday against the Marlins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Though he'll be making his fourth straight start, Munoz is still expected to fill a short-side platoon role in the Boston outfield, with either Bradley or Alex Verdugo sitting out against southpaws to make room for him. Bradley will be the odd man out Wednesday with lefty Trevor Rogers on the mound for Miami.

Batting sixth in return Munoz (hip) is starting in left field and batting sixth Thursday against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact He had a hit in all six games he played with the Red Sox prior to suffering the minor hip injury, so look for Munoz to play fairly regularly as long as he is productive down the stretch. He is hitting .476 with one home run, three strikeouts and zero walks in 21 at-bats.

Could return Thursday Munoz (hip) could return as soon as Thursday against the Rays, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact He had been producing in something close to an everyday role prior to the hip injury, notching a six-game hitting streak (.476 average) with one home run since entering the lineup Sept. 1. Once healthy, he should return to seeing steady action all over the field.

Diagnosed with right hip strain Munoz left Sunday's game in the first inning with a right hip strain, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact While it looked like it might have been Munoz's hamstring, it's a hip injury for the 25-year-old. Munoz was off to a blistering start with his new club and it would be a shame if this turns out to be something that requires an IL stint.

Leaves with apparent injury Munoz left Sunday's game against the Blue Jays with an apparent right hamstring injury, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact After singling to begin the home half of the first inning, Munoz grabbed at his hamstring. He was lifted for a pinch runner after a brief conversation with manager Ron Roenicke. With the single, Munoz is now batting just shy of .500 through six games with Boston.

Goes off in doubleheader Munoz went 6-for-7 with two doubles, one home run, three RBI and four runs over both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Impact Munoz spent the first five weeks of the season at Boston's alternate site in Pawtucket before getting a callup last week. He's hit safely in all four games in which he's appeared, going 8-for-15 with four extra-base hits. With Andrew Benintendi (ribs) sidelined, left field is open for the suddenly hot Munoz.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Starts at DH Munoz started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Braves.

Impact The Red Sox are managing the absence of J.D. Martinez (hand), who could return Wednesday. Munoz was called up from the alternate camp Monday and is not expected to maintain a large role.
