Dodgers' Max Muncy: Plays hero in Tuesday's win
Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.
The veteran third baseman took Zack Wheeler deep in the fourth inning for the Dodgers' only offense of the night, but Justin Wrobleski and the bullpen made it hold up. It was Muncy's 19th homer of the season and second in five games since the All-Star break, and per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, he's now tied with Ron Cey for fifth on the franchise's all-time list with 228, with Hall of Famers Duke Snider (389), Gil Hodges (361) and Roy Campanella (242) sitting ahead of Muncy along with more recent star Eric Karros (270).

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Clubs two homers in victory
Muncy went 3-for-3 with two home runs, four total RBI and two walks in a 7-1 win against the White Sox on Saturday.
Chicago's pitching staff was unable to get Muncy out Saturday, as the slugger reached base in all five of his plate appearances with two long balls. Muncy came into the contest without a homer through 11 contests in June, though he batted a healthy .286 during that span. The 35-year-old is putting together a strong case for an All-Star bid; among NL third basemen, he ranks first with a .912 OPS, .375 OBP, 46 runs and 16 homers while adding 28 RBI through 65 games.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Perfect at plate Tuesday
Muncy went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI in a 12-3 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Muncy had no trouble with Pirates ace Paul Skenes, logging three hits against the star hurler, including a double and a run-scoring single. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled Muncy in the seventh frame after Los Angeles had grabbed a 10-run lead, but that decision appeared to be entirely to give the third baseman some extra rest. Muncy has been swinging the bat well of late, going 9-for-19 over his past six games. His overall .875 OPS would be his highest mark since 2021.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Undergoes concussion evaluation
The Dodgers announced Muncy exited Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks with shortness of breath and to potentially rule out a concussion.
Muncy collided with Ildemaro Vargas at first base in the top of the fifth inning after Ryne Nelson failed to cover the bag on a grounder. Both Muncy and Vargas were removed from the game. With the Dodgers' wording, it sounds like Muncy didn't sustain a concussion and can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener against the Angels.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Has sore nose, won't play Friday
Muncy passed concussion testing Thursday and has been diagnosed with a sore nose, but he will not play Friday against the Angels, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
It can be viewed as good news for Muncy after he was involved in a big collision at first base with Ildemaro Vargas in the fifth inning of Thursday's 3-2 loss to Arizona. With lefty Reid Detmers getting the start for the Angels against the Dodgers on Friday, it makes sense to give Muncy another day to rest. Santiago Espinal came on to play third base following Muncy's departure Thursday.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Adds homer in win
Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Phillies.
Muncy had gone 10 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 4-for-29 (.138) in that span, which also saw him miss some time due to a wrist injury. The third baseman tacked on the Dodgers' eighth run Sunday with a solo shot in the seventh inning. Muncy is batting .257 with an .887 OPS, 14 homers, 21 RBI, 39 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 53 contests this season. Injuries have kept him from reaching the 20-homer mark in the previous two regular seasons after he reached that threshold in five of the previous six years. As long as his health holds up in 2026, he's well on his way to getting back to that mark or better.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Not in Saturday's lineup
Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Phillies on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
With the Phillies sending southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the mound, the lefty-hitting Muncy will open Saturday's game on the bench while Santiago Espinal starts at third base and bats ninth. Since May 1, Muncy has gone 14-for-69 (.203) with four home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Pops solo shot
Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.
Muncy battled a wrist injury earlier in the week. He went 0-for-4 on Wednesday versus the Rockies in his return to the lineup, but he was able to get back on track with a homer Friday. The third baseman had gone eight contests without a long ball prior to taking Zack Wheeler deep in the second inning. Muncy is now batting .253 with an .873 OPS, 13 homers, 20 RBI, 37 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 51 games this season. He's likely to continue functioning in a strong-side platoon role at the hot corner.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Back in starting nine
Muncy (wrist) will start at third base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Rockies.
Muncy missed four straight starts after taking a pitch off his wrist Friday, but he entered Tuesday's contest in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement, and he's now officially been cleared to return to the starting lineup. The veteran third baseman had started eight consecutive games before getting injured and went 5-for-27 (.185) with a homer, two RBI and nine runs scored in that span.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Enters on defense Tuesday
Muncy (wrist) played third base during the ninth inning of Tuesday's 15-6 rout of the Rockies.
Muncy was absent from the starting lineup for the fourth straight game after getting hit on the right wrist by a pitch Friday. However, he logged game action Tuesday for the first time since that HBP, entering in the ninth inning to play third base with the Dodgers up 15-1 and Miguel Rojas, who started at the hot corner, mopping up on the mound. Though Muncy didn't swing a bat, he did cleanly handle a grounder to third base and made the throw to first to record an out. The defensive appearance further buoys the belief that Muncy isn't going to need a stint on the IL, and he could in fact be back in the Dodgers' lineup as soon as Wednesday for the series finale.
