Muncy (shoulder) is out of the lineup Tuesday at Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy was lifted from Sunday's series finale against Atlanta after tweaking his left shoulder on a swing, though there doesn't seem to be much concern that it will be a long-term injury. Enrique Hernandez is playing third base for the Dodgers on Tuesday as Will Smith takes a turn in the DH role and Austin Barnes handles the catching duties.

Muncy left Sunday's game against Atlanta due to a shoulder injury after striking out in the fifth inning, but manager Dave Roberts doesn't believe it will be an IL situation, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts characterized the shoulder issue as a "tweak" and indicated that Muncy should be fine. Muncy had gone 1-for-3 prior to his departure, breaking a two-game hitless stretch with a fourth-inning single. Should the slugger need to miss any games, the Dodgers could start Chris Taylor, Michael Busch or Enrique Hernandez at third base in his place.
