Max Muncy - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Gets surgery on knee Muncy underwent debridement surgery last Friday to repair cartilage damage under the medial patella in his left knee.

Impact Muncy was also administered a PRP injection, and the expectation is that he will be a full participant during spring training. The 24-year-old concluded the 2026 season having slashed .230/.296/.387 with nine home runs over 82 contests for the Athletics. Assuming health, Muncy will compete for playing time in the Athletics' infield in 2027.

Could need knee surgery Muncy will be re-evaluated at some point during the offseason to determine whether he needs left knee surgery, MLB.com reports.

Impact Muncy's season ended prematurely due to left knee chondromalacia, and he could undergo arthroscopic surgery if the issue doesn't improve with extended rest. The 24-year-old infielder slashed .230/.296/.387 with nine home runs across 284 plate appearances during the 2026 season.

Hitting bench in Langeliers' return Muncy is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Muncy had started in seven of the Athletics' previous eight games -- six at designated hitter, one at third base -- and slashed .385/.407/.615 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs over that stretch, but he could see fewer opportunities over the final two weeks of the season. The Athletics reinstated Shea Langeliers (knee) from the injured list Saturday, and he's expected to operate as the team's primary DH the rest of the way, closing off Muncy's primary path to playing time.

Homers again in win Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Impact Muncy has homered in consecutive contests, going 5-for-8 with three RBI in that span. The third baseman has been in the lineup for five of the last six games, splitting time between the hot corner and designated hitter. On the year, Muncy is batting .229 with a .695 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles, two triples and three stolen bases over 74 games. He's finishing the year strong and should get ample opportunities to contribute down the stretch.

AUGUST 23 • Associated Press

Gaining traction in lineup Muncy will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Muncy will stick in the lineup for a sixth straight game after going 3-for-15 with a home run, three walks, three runs and three RBI over the prior five contests. Though he looks to have taken hold of a regular spot in the starting nine after Tyler Soderstrom (hip) recently went down with a season-ending injury, Muncy could begin to find himself on the bench more frequently once the Athletics get Denzel Clarke (hamstring) or Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) back from the injured list.
