"Both players have been on respective rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City the past few days, and manager Dave Roberts said the Dodgers anticipate adding them to their roster on Monday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic: Dave Roberts said Max Muncy and Alex Vesia are expected to be active tomorrow, with Tommy Edman at some point after that. Vesia made his first rehab appearance on Sept. 3, and Muncy joined the Comets one day later."
"Prior to landing on the IL, Vesia was going through a rough stretch, which included allowing a run in four consecutive appearances. But despite that, Roberts continued to show trust in the southpaw and kept utilizing him in high-leverage situations. It was not without reason, as Vesia has been one of the Dodgers' most-dependable relievers this year, posting a 2.75 ERA in 52.1 innings while striking out 11.87 hitters per nine and walking 3.10 per nine."
Alex Vesia went on the injured list with a right oblique strain retroactive to Aug. 23 and was eligible to return Sept. 7. Max Muncy has been out since Aug. 5 with a Grade 1 right oblique strain. Both pitchers have been on rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City and have already appeared for the Comets. Manager Dave Roberts expects Vesia and Muncy to be active Monday, with Tommy Edman to follow. Vesia has a 2.75 ERA in 52.1 innings with 11.87 strikeouts per nine and 3.10 walks per nine. The Dodgers will need to clear a roster spot, likely using optionable relievers.
