Muncy (knee) started swinging a bat Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy took swings Friday for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 3. Muncy said of his recovery, "we're right where we think we should be" and shared that "everything feels great." The third baseman appears to be on track for a mid-August return, which is right in line with the initial six-week projected absence.

Muncy (knee) has begun using a stationary bike, and manager Dave Roberts said Friday that the third baseman is "trending really well," per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy suffered a left knee bone bruise July 2 and was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day. He's likely to miss at least six weeks of action, so mid-August seems to be the earliest target for his return. Tommy Edman and Miguel Rojas have been handling duties at the hot corner while Muncy has been out.

Muncy (knee) will be sidelined for at least six weeks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy injured his knee after being slid into on a stolen base attempt Wednesday night. There was some concern he'd miss the rest of the season, but imaging revealed he did not suffer ligament damage. Given that, this is relatively good news, particularly if Muncy can return near the announced timeline. Miguel Rojas is starting at third base in Muncy's place and should be among the players to see a bump in playing time.

Muncy (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy injured his knee while taking a throw at third base Wednesday night and underwent an MRI on Thursday. The exact results of the tests remain unclear, but the issue is severe enough to sideline Muncy for at least the next 10 days. Miguel Rojas is starting at third base in his place against the White Sox on Thursday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's game versus the White Sox that Muncy will undergo an MRI on his left knee Thursday, DodgersBeat.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy was injured when Michael Taylor's head collided with the third baseman's knee on a stolen-base attempt in the sixth inning. Roberts said after Muncy was evaluated by trainers that the team is "optimistic" the 34-year-old is dealing with a sprain rather than a tear, but the MRI will provide more clarity. At the very least, Roberts expects Muncy to be sidelined "for the next few days." Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas will handle third base while Muncy is shelved.

Muncy was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to an apparent left knee injury, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A stealing Michael Taylor collided with Muncy's left knee while sliding into third base, causing the latter's leg to bend awkwardly. Muncy needed to be helped off the field by a trainer after the play and will almost certainly be taken in for imaging. If the two-time All-Star ends up needing to miss any amount of time, Enrique Hernandez would likely fill in at the hot corner for the Dodgers.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy has been red-hot at the plate, piecing together a monster last four games. Including Friday's effort, he is 7-for-16 with four home runs and 15 RBI, carrying the load for a Dodgers squad that has won five games in a row. The 34-year-old is up to 53 RBI while slashing .251/.377/.465 on the season.

Muncy is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Muncy doesn't always sit out versus lefty pitching, but he'll begin Thursday's tilt on the bench as the Rockies send southpaw Austin Gomber to the bump. Miguel Rojas will handle third base and bat ninth for the Dodgers.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a three-run home run during Sunday's 13-7 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy tied his career high in RBI, plating seven Dodgers for the second time in just over three weeks after doing so May 31. He's having an excellent month at the plate, going 18-for-58 (.310) with five home runs across 19 games in June. He had logged merely four home runs before then.

Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Nationals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Nationals sending southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the mound, the lefty-hitting Muncy will begin Friday's game on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at third base and bats ninth. Muncy has slashed .314/.463/.549 with two steals, three home runs and seven RBI in 67 plate appearances since the beginning of June.
