"Vesia was placed on the injured list toward the end of August with an oblique injury. The left-hander wasn't too concerned about the injury, and fortunately for LA, he wasn't forced to miss more than the minimum time. Vesia was in the midst of a dominant season before he began struggling in August. The veteran reliever had a 2.42 ERA with 62 strikeouts in 51 appearances through July. In August, Vesia made eight appearances, sporting a 4.70 ERA with seven strikeouts. The 29-year-old will likely slot back into high-leverage innings for a Dodgers team in desperate need of bullpen help."
"The Dodgers lineup has greatly missed Muncy. They average 5.79 runs per game across the 89 games he's played this season. In the 54 games he hasn't played, the Dodgers averaged just 3.78 runs per contest. Overall, Muncy is slashing .258/.389/.491 with 17 home runs, 64 RBIs and an OPS"
The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to activate left-hander Alex Vesia and third baseman Max Muncy before Monday night's game. Vesia was placed on the injured list late in August with an oblique issue but missed only the minimum time. He posted a 2.42 ERA with 62 strikeouts in 51 appearances through July, then struggled in August with a 4.70 ERA across eight appearances. Muncy suffered multiple injuries, including a fluke knee from a Michael A. Taylor slide and a later oblique issue, costing him significant time. The Dodgers have scored notably more runs with Muncy in the lineup.
