Zack Gelof (dislocated shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Muncy should get some starts at third base and the keystone over the final eight games of the season, although he is on the bench Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie infielder is finally ready to start hitting again after being sidelined since late July with a hairline fracture at the base of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics placed Muncy (hand) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy, who was hit by a pitch on the right hand Monday, appeared to have avoided a serious injury when X-rays came back negative, but he'll still need to spend some time on the shelf. The 22-year-old will be eligible to be rejoin the active roster in early August. Luis Urias and Gio Urshela are the likely candidates to man second base while Muncy is out.

X-rays on Muncy's right hand returned negative following Monday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He exited the matchup after being struck by a pitch in the fifth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy is likely dealing with a bruised hand considering further scans returned negative. He'll be deemed day-to-day until the club has a chance to re-evaluate the 22-year-old. Gio Urshela entered the game in Muncy's place Monday and could be in line for more playing time if Muncy is forced to sit for a few days, though Luis Urias would also be a candidate for at-bats.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy went 1-for-8 with a strikeout and a caught stealing in the first two games after the All-Star break. Max Schuemann will instead man the keystone and bat eighth Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy has been able to extend his run as a lineup regular while Jacob Wilson (hand) has missed the last three games. The homer was Muncy's fourth over nine contests in July and his ninth long ball of the year. The infielder is at a .224/.267/.410 slash line with 23 RBI, 17 runs scored and one stolen base across 195 plate appearances. Muncy may have to settle for a utility role when the Athletics are closer to full strength in the infield, though they could reassign him to Triple-A Las Vegas to receive more consistent playing time.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta.

He's now hit safely in six of his last seven games, but Tuesday's long ball provided the only runs he's driven in over that span.
