Muncy went 2-for-6 with a double, a run and three RBI in Thursday's 14-3 rout against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy returned Tuesday from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, and he collected his first knock since being activated with a two-run double in the fourth inning Thursday. The slugger followed with a run-scoring single in the fifth for his first multi-hit performance since May 30. Muncy has been productive with 18 homers, 48 RBI and 41 runs on the campaign, and he's posted a respectable .321 OBP thanks to his 15.4 percent walk rate. However, his batting average currently sits at .192, which puts him in line to potentially finish below the Mendoza Line for the third time in the past four seasons.

Muncy isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in his return from the injured list Tuesday, Muncy will get another day to rest Wednesday. Yonny Hernandez will take over at third base in Muncy's absence and bat ninth.

The Dodgers reinstated Muncy (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy landed on the injured list June 16 with a left hamstring strain and will now return as the Dodgers' primary third baseman. The 32-year-old slugger was slashing .094/.237/.219 through 38 plate appearances in June prior to getting hurt. Muncy's return will send Michael Busch back to Triple-A Oklahoma City as a corresponding move.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Friday's game versus the Astros that Muncy (hamstring) won't be activated from the 10-day IL Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts said that Muncy is still feeling tightness in his left hamstring, and he isn't guaranteed to be activated off the IL this weekend. The 32-year-old will miss at least two more games as he recovers, and fantasy managers shouldn't assume he'll be back in the lineup for Sunday's finale against Houston, either.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Tuesday's game versus the Angels that Muncy (hamstring) has a chance to return off the injured list over the weekend, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts said that Muncy's left hamstring was "responding" and the infielder was able to run the bases and take grounders before Tuesday's game. Muncy is eligible to come off the injured list Friday, and while there's no guarantee that occurs, it does appear he'll return to the lineup without requiring a rehab stint as long as he continues to make progress.

Muncy (hamstring) ran the bases and took grounders at third base ahead of Tuesday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy has been dealing with a hamstring strain since June 13 and was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. The 32-year-old third baseman is eligible to return from the IL on Friday, and his participation in pregame activities is a good sign he could be good to go by then.

Muncy said Thursday on Foul Territory that his left hamstring strain is of the low-grade variety.
EDGE Analysis
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday that it was a Grade 2 hamstring strain, but the diagnosis isn't quite that drastic. "If it was a Grade 2, you're looking at a month, two months," Muncy said. "Thankfully that's not what I'm looking at right now." He's yet to be placed on the injured list and could perhaps return to action this weekend against the rival Giants.

MRI results revealed Wednesday that Muncy has a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts said the Dodgers won't place Muncy on the injured list just yet, and the hope is for Muncy to return Saturday against the Giants. The 32-year-old third baseman has already missed two games due to his hamstring strain and could still end up on the IL if he's not ready to come back this weekend.
