Munetaka Murakami Hits 1st MLB Grand Slam as White Sox Thump Athletics

Drawing first day off of season Muncy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Muncy suffered a bruised hand earlier in the series when he was hit by a pitch, and the Athletics are wrapping up their four-game set versus Texas with a day game after a night game, so manager Mark Kotsay will elect to give the young infielder a breather. Darell Hernaiz will check in at third base in place of Muncy, who started in each of the Athletics' first 18 games of the season while slashing .288/.338/.485 with two home runs, two steals, 13 runs and five RBI.

Exits with bruised hand Muncy was removed from Monday's game against the Rangers due to a bruised left hand, Jeremiah reports.

Impact Muncy was hit by a pitch on the hand during the bottom of the fifth inning but was able to remain in the game until the top of the seventh. He was later diagnosed with a bruise, which is a positive sign considering the location of the injury. Muncy should be considered day-to-day until the Athletics have another update to share. Andy Ibanez or Darell Hernaiz could draw the start at the hot corner Tuesday if Muncy is unable to go.

Pair of extra-base hits in win Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double, triple and one run scored in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Yankees.

Impact Muncy had both of the Athletics' extra-base hits Thursday, as he tripled and scored the game's lone run in the seventh inning before doubling in the ninth. The 23-year-old has started all 12 games to begin the season and is slashing .319/.333/.574 with seven extra-base hits, including two home runs, five RBI, 11 runs scored, one stolen base and a 1:16 BB:K across 48 plate appearances. He's still striking out too much and not walking, but Muncy is doing damage when he does put the ball in play.

Homers, drives in three Muncy went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-run double and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Astros.

Impact Muncy stretched the Athletics' lead to 4-1 with the two-run double in the third inning, and he went back-to-back with Lawrence Butler in the fourth to turn this game into a blowout. With at least one extra-base hit in four of the last five contests, Muncy is showing some power potential early in the season. He's batting .269 with two homers, three doubles, five RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base over seven contests. The one flaw in his performance so far is the 10 strikeouts over 27 plate appearances, especially considering he struck out at a 30.9 percent clip as a rookie in 63 games in 2025. Improving his plate discipline would raise his ceiling, but it remains to be seen how much he'll be able to do in that area.

Handling starting duties at third Muncy is starting at third base and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Muncy started at the hot corner for Opening Day on Friday against Toronto, when he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. It looks like the 23-year-old is the A's preferred option at third base to open the 2026 regular season, though Andy Ibanez and Darell Hernaiz could see some starts of their own if Muncy struggles early on. Muncy made his major-league debut in March of 2025 and finished last season with a .638 OPS with one steal, nine home runs and 23 RBI over 220 plate appearances.

Trio of hits in spring win Muncy went 3-for-3 with a solo homer, a double, an additional RBI, three additional runs scored and a walk in Wednesday's Cactus League win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Muncy reached base in each plate appearance, highlighted by a 429-foot solo blast off Ryne Nelson in the fourth inning. The infielder has mashed in Cactus League play, slashing .393/.514/.750 with two homers, four doubles and seven RBI across 13 appearances. Defense at the hot corner remains a work in progress, as the 23-year-old committed his third error of the spring Wednesday, though a strong showing at the plate bodes well as Muncy vies for regular reps at third base during the regular season.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Solid start to spring Muncy is 6-for-21 with four walks, two doubles, a home run and five RBI through 10 Cactus League games.

Impact Muncy has seen regular playing time at the hot corner this spring and has looked solid at the dish, tallying three extra-base hits while also showing improved plate discipline with four walks thus far. He walked only 4.6 percent of the time during a lackluster rookie campaign last season, when the 23-year-old slashed .214/.259/.379 with seven doubles, nine homers and 23 RBI across 63 games. Continuing to produce strong numbers in Cactus League play should aid Muncy's pursuit of the starting third-base job for the 2026 regular season, though Darell Hernaiz -- who's away from the team competing for Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic -- and Andy Ibanez remain in the mix.
