Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated for Monday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy's rehab from a strained right oblique slowed at the end of August while the infielder battled illness. After a short rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Muncy looks set to rejoin the Dodgers for the start of a three-game home series against the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas have handled most of the third base work in his absence.

Muncy (oblique) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy started the game at third base and played five innings before being removed. He also went 1-for-4 with a single. Assuming Muncy avoids a setback, he is expected back during the Dodgers' homestand that begins Monday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy (oblique/illness) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City later this week and could return during next week's homestand, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy's return from a right oblique strain has been delayed a bit by a chest cold, but he looks to be close to overcoming that illness and is nearly game-ready. The third baseman has been sidelined since mid-August.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Muncy (oblique/illness) won't return during the Dodgers upcoming road trip, which runs Sept. 2-7, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman appeared on track to rejoin the Dodgers at the start of September, but he's recently dealt with a chest cold that will delay his return. Assuming there's no additional issues, Muncy could be back on the active roster for the start of the next homestand versus the Rockies on Sept. 8.

Muncy (oblique) did not participate in baseball activities and was sent home Friday due to an illness, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a slight setback for Muncy, who continues to rehab from a right oblique strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list Aug. 15. He's expected to embark on a rehab assignment next week, and the veteran third baseman is targeting a return from the IL during the Dodgers' weekend road series against the Orioles starting Friday, Sept. 5.

Muncy (oblique) is expected to face live pitching Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy started to take swings off a tee last week, and he will now progress to facing real pitching. The 35-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain Aug. 15, so he's eligible to return to action at any point. Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Muncy could be activated on the team's upcoming road trip, which begins next Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Muncy (oblique) has started taking swings off a tee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy did not feel any soreness in his right oblique while swinging off a tee, as he continues to move in a positive direction with his recovery. It's not clear what the next step is for the third baseman, but he could be ready to take batting practice soon.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy's (oblique) condition is improving, and the 34-year-old is scheduled to take part in some "rotational" work Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Muncy's oblique strain is of the mild variety, the Dodgers are still expecting him to miss more than the minimum 10 days after he landed on the injured list Friday. Muncy is still in the early stages of his recovery program, so a clearer timeline for his return from the IL is unlikely to become available until he's able to take part in full baseball activities. While Muncy has been out of action for the Dodgers' last four games, Alex Freeland has made three starts at third base and Buddy Kennedy has made one start.

The Dodgers placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right oblique strain, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts said Muncy's injury will force him to miss more than the 10-day minimum, though the team still expects him to return before the end of the regular season. Alex Freeland will presumably move to third base until Muncy returns, opening second base for Miguel Rojas, and the Dodgers claimed Buddy Kennedy off waivers from Toronto on Friday to replenish their bench depth.

Muncy (side) is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muncy is dealing with right side soreness, which caused him to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Angels. He'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while Alex Freeland starts at third base and bats eighth.
