    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Out at least six weeks

    Muncy (knee) said Thursday he expects to be sidelined for at least six weeks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Muncy injured his knee when he was slid into on a stolen base attempt Wednesday night. There was some concern he'd miss the rest of the season, but imaging revealed a bone bruise rather than ligament damage. Given that, this is relatively good news, particularly if Muncy can return near the announced timeline in mid-August. Miguel Rojas is starting at third base in Muncy's place Thursday against the White Sox and should be among the players to see a bump in playing time for the near future.

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Lands on IL

    Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a bone bruise in his left knee, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Muncy injured his knee while taking a throw at third base Wednesday night and underwent an MRI on Thursday, which determined he's dealing with a bone bruise. The severity of the injury has yet to be disclosed, but he'll be out for at least the next 10 days. Miguel Rojas is starting at third base in his place against the White Sox on Thursday.

  • CJ Alexander 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' CJ Alexander: Claimed by Dodgers

    The Dodgers claimed Alexander from the Yankees on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Alexander joins his third organization of 2025 after starting the season with the Athletics and being designated for assignment by the Yankees on Monday. He has appeared in 54 games at the Triple-A level in 2025, slashing .239/.339/.443, and has played in six games in the majors. The third baseman joins the Dodgers after Max Muncy went down with a knee injury in Wednesday night's game. With the Dodgers claiming Alexander, they designated Steward Berroa for assignment Thursday.

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Undergoing MRI on knee Thursday

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's game versus the White Sox that Muncy will undergo an MRI on his left knee Thursday, DodgersBeat.com reports.

    Muncy was injured when Michael Taylor's head collided with the third baseman's knee on a stolen-base attempt in the sixth inning. Roberts said after Muncy was evaluated by trainers that the team is "optimistic" the 34-year-old is dealing with a sprain rather than a tear, but the MRI will provide more clarity. At the very least, Roberts expects Muncy to be sidelined "for the next few days." Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas will handle third base while Muncy is shelved.

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Exits with injury

    Muncy was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to an apparent left knee injury, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

    A stealing Michael Taylor collided with Muncy's left knee while sliding into third base, causing the latter's leg to bend awkwardly. Muncy needed to be helped off the field by a trainer after the play and will almost certainly be taken in for imaging. If the two-time All-Star ends up needing to miss any amount of time, Enrique Hernandez would likely fill in at the hot corner for the Dodgers.

  • Brady House SS | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Wednesday

    House isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Detroit, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    House will grab a seat in the dugout for Wednesday's nightcap after going 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during an 11-2 loss in Game 1. Paul DeJong will pick up a start at the hot corner as a result and bat sixth.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Not playing Game 2

    Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    Vientos will take a seat after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the first game of the twin bill. Francisco Lindor will serve as the designated hitter while Ronny Mauricio starts at shortstop in the nightcap.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Idle for nightcap

    Durbin is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    Durbin didn't start in the Brewers' 7-2 win earlier the day either, though he drew a walk during his pinch-hit appearance. Anthony Seigler will make another start at the hot corner and bat seventh in the nightcap.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Sitting out first game of twin bill

    Durbin is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

    Durbin will get some rest for the first game of the twin bill but should return to the lineup for the nightcap. Anthony Seigler will start at third base and bat ninth in his major-league debut in the early game.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Receiving rare game off

    Bohm is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

    Bohm will exit the lineup for the first time since May 10, ending a stretch of 46 consecutive starts for the veteran infielder. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at third base in the early contest in place of Bohm, who will presumably return to the starting nine for the nightcap.
