Muncy sustained a left knee injury during a collision, resulting in a bone bruise. He expects to be out for about six weeks, but initial fears of ligament damage were unfounded. His recent performance has been strong, hitting .282 with 12 home runs since May, minimizing the likelihood of the Dodgers trading for a third baseman. In his absence, Miguel Rojas will start at third base, with Hyeseong Kim and Enrique Hernández likely filling in. The Dodgers also acquired CJ Alexander for additional corner infield depth at Triple-A.
