Max Muncy Avoiding Putting 'Pressure' On Himself To Save Dodgers
""I wanted to be back sooner, but obviously that's just not a realistic option sometimes," Muncy said. "So for me, it's trying to not put pressure on yourself. "What they need is for me to be myself, and not try to do anything outside of what I usually do in baseball game. It's trying to understand that, and just let everyone else get back to being themselves."
""Trying to get the focus back and just take it one day at a time. Obviously it was a tough road trip for the guys. I was watching every single inning, and it's a tough one to come back from when there's no off day. That's why I've always said we've got to keep our focus one day at a time.""
Max Muncy returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup after missing nearly a month with a Grade 1 right oblique strain. The Dodgers went 11-11 during his most recent stint on the injured list. Muncy emphasized avoiding added pressure, staying true to his usual approach, and encouraging the team to focus on one day at a time and prepare to beat each pitcher. He previously missed time this season with a bone bruise in his left knee. When healthy, Muncy has hit .252/.383/.479 with 10 doubles, two triples, 17 home runs and 64 RBI in 91 games.
