Dodgers' Max Muncy: Homers off bench in win
Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
The veteran slugger grounded out as a pinch hitter for Miguel Rojas in the fifth inning, but he remained in the game at third base. Muncy then sparked the Dodgers' four-homer barrage in the eighth with a solo shot, his 29th long ball of the year. He's batting .253 with an .847 OPS, 74 RBI, 78 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 142 contests. While Muncy continues to see time as a strong-side platoon option, he's put together one of the better seasons of his career in that role.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Starting Sunday at DH
Muncy (illness) will bat eighth at the designated hitter Sunday against the Nationals.
An illness forced Muncy's removal from Saturday's starting lineup, but he is evidently feeling well enough to give it a go Sunday night against lefty Andrew Alvarez. The 36-year-old Muncy has hit 20 of his 26 homers this season against righties but has more than held his own against same-side pitching as well (.794 OPS).

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Removal from lineup due to illness
Muncy was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals due to an illness.
Muncy was originally slated to start at third base but was removed from the starting nine a few hours before game time, with Enrique Hernandez penciled in at the hot corner in his place. Given that the reason for Muncy's scratch was deemed to be an illness, he should be considered day-to-day.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Scratched from Saturday's lineup
Muncy was a late scratch from the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game versus Washington for unspecified reasons.
Muncy was originally in Saturday's lineup, as was Dalton Rushing, but both players were scratched about two hours ahead of the start of the game. The Dodgers will presumably provide a reason for the change in short order. Enrique Hernandez is covering third base and batting ninth in Muncy's stead Saturday.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Pirates.
Muncy replied to the Pirates' opening run with his two-run homer in the first inning. The third baseman has gone 10-for-34 (.294) over his last 11 contests, adding four homers and 14 RBI in that span. For the season, he's hitting .252 with an .848 OPS, 26 homers, 66 RBI, 67 runs scored, 18 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 119 contests. While he's been effective, a healthy Enrique Hernandez will likely lead to Muncy getting platooned more often down the stretch.
