Max Muncy is on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain, placed retroactive to Aug. 13. He participated in batting practice and was nearing a rehab assignment, but a chest cold and cough delayed his progress. He is expected to return Monday, Sept. 8, against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers activated Hyeseong Kim and Michael Kopech after rosters expanded in September; Kiké Hernández returned Aug. 25. Tommy Edman, out since Aug. 4 with a sprained right ankle, will begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Edman is being prepared for center field; Kim is slated for second base against right-handed starters. The Dodgers are 54-35 when Muncy plays.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have gone another extended stretch without Max Muncy as he currently is on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 1 right oblique strain he suffered in the middle of August. The 35-year-old was placed on the IL retroactive to Aug. 13. Muncy's progression has been going well, having participated in batting practice and at one point being on track to start a rehab assignment this weekend.
The Dodgers were hoping Muncy would be activated from the IL in time to join the team for the end of their road trip, but that's been delayed due to falling under the weather. "He's better but there's a chest cold, cough situation going on. As far as overall body, he feels good, but it's pushed back his rehab a few days," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
As a result, the earliest Muncy would be back in the Dodgers lineup is Monday, Sept. 8, in the series opener against the Colorado Rockies. While the Dodgers are still awaiting Muncy's return, they did welcome back Hyeseong Kim and Michael Kopech now that active rosters have expanded in September. Tommy Edman is also set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City at some point this week.
