Max Muncy has landed on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 1 right oblique strain, missing a crucial series against the Padres. Buddy Kennedy has taken his spot on the roster. The Dodgers, currently struggling, face the Padres as they rise in the standings. Muncy's injury is not season-ending and is week-to-week with treatment and rest. Muncy was initially scratched from the lineup after experiencing right side soreness. The team plans to use Kennedy and prospect Alex Freeland at third base in his absence.
The latest injury for the Dodgers is a sizable blow for a team that already had been scuffling for more than a month.
Muncy's oblique issue began ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels, as he was scratched from the lineup because of what initially was deemed to be soreness in his right side.
You kind of take it week-to-week and see when he can start baseball activities again to get him back," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
In Muncy's absence, the Dodgers will be relying on a combination of Kennedy and prospect Alex Freeland, who has already logged some innings for them at the position this season.
