Max Muncy of the Dodgers is expected to be sidelined until about mid-August following a left knee bone bruise. The team plans to rely on internal replacements rather than seeking outside help before the trade deadline. General Manager Brandon Gomes stated there remains sufficient time before the playoffs to ensure Muncy's recovery is thorough, emphasizing the importance of a good foundation for the postseason. Manager Dave Roberts echoed that Muncy's slow recovery isn't a pressing concern, and they feel confident in their position leading the NL West.
Even if [Muncy's recovery] is way slow, you have a full month of baseball before we hit the playoffs. So we're giving him that time to get back into a good place.
With the time we have, there's nothing pressing as far as needing to rush [Muncy] back. I think we're in a good spot.
