Muncy is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy is not in a platoon, but he has now been on the bench three times in five games versus lefties since returning from the 60-day injured list last month. He pinch hit in one of those first two contests and will be a candidate to enter mid-game again Monday. Enrique Hernandez is getting the start at the hot corner in Monday's series finale.

Muncy isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Cade Povich set to take the mound for Baltimore, the Dodgers will keep the lefty-hitting Muncy in the dugout to begin Thursday's contest. Chris Taylor will cover the hot corner instead while batting seventh.

Muncy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Muncy will begin Friday's contest in the dugout as the Rays send southpaw Tyler Alexander to the mound. In the three games since returning from the 60-day injured list Monday, Muncy has gone 4-for-10 with three runs scored, two home runs and six RBI.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy doubled in two of his first three trips to the plate, plating three runs on the latter two-bagger as the Dodgers jumped out to a commanding 8-1 lead. The third baseman has now hit safely in three straight games since returning from the injured list due to an oblique strain, driving in at least one run in all three contests. In fact, he's recorded at least one RBI in each of his last five starts, dating back to May 14 against the Giants.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy has homered in both games since returning from a stint on the injured list with a right oblique strain, and he showcased his patient eye at the plate with two walks Tuesday night. The 33-year-old is hitting .228/.331/.510 with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs and a 23:51 BB:K in 175 plate appearances.

Muncy (oblique) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy played for the first time in over three months and made and instant impact with his seventh-inning homer off reliever Yimi Garcia. Muncy was able to play all nine innings at third base and should be the Dodgers' primary option there moving forward, though Enrique Hernandez could poach some starts at the hot corner versus southpaws. Over 41 contests this season, Muncy has 10 homers, 30 RBI, 25 runs scored and a .224/.322/.490 slash line.

Muncy (oblique) has been activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was rumored over the weekend that Muncy might be available to return in time for Monday's series opener, and he's since been given the green light to take the field. The 33-year-old landed on the 60-day IL on May 17 due to a right oblique strain but should resume an everyday role in the infield going forward.

Muncy (oblique) is traveling to Los Angeles and could be activated for Monday's series opener versus the Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers were planning to reinstate the 33-year-old for Tuesday's contest, but Freddie Freeman's finger injury could necessitate a trip to the injured list and move that timeline up a day. Muncy has gone 6-for-21 with a double and a homer during his six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he's ready to rejoin the active roster after spending three months on the injured list due to a strained oblique.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Friday that he expects Muncy (oblique) to be back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Muncy has gone 4-for-13 with one double and a 4:2 K:BB in four rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He will remain there through the weekend, then take a day off Monday before rejoining the Dodgers on Tuesday. Muncy has been sidelined since mid-May with a right oblique strain.

President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Sunday in an interview with Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that he expects Muncy (oblique) to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list at some point during the Dodgers' next homestand, which begins Aug. 19.

EDGE Analysis

Out since mid-May due to a significant right oblique strain, Muncy finally reached the last stage of his recovery program by kicking off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. He started at third base and played six innings in the field while going 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and an RBI. Though Muncy is back in the lineup Sunday at designated hitter for Oklahoma City, he'll presumably get in a few more games at third base and potentially even at first base during the upcoming week as he works to regain his timing at the plate. Assuming he avoids any setbacks with his oblique during the rehab assignment, Muncy should step back into an everyday role in the infield right away once the Dodgers activate him.
