Max Muncy - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Idle Tuesday Muncy isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Muncy will get a chance to catch his breath after going 7-for-19 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored over the Athletics' last five games. His absence will allow Tommy White to work as the designated hitter, batting fifth.

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.

Muncy's solo homer caps off A's rally as Oakland beats Houston 7-6

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.

Homers in loss Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Royals.

Impact In his first home run since rejoining the team from Triple-A Las Vegas, Muncy smashed a long ball to left field to make the score 9-7 in the ninth. Muncy has struggled since being brought back to the majors for an injured Nick Kurtz (thumb). The 23-year-old has gone 7-for-35 (.200) with only four RBI and 10 strike outs in 12 contests.

Sent back to Vegas The Athletics optioned Muncy to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Impact Muncy was brought up from Triple-A on Tuesday to provide infield depth when Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) landed on the injured list, but the former will now head back to the minors following Nick Kurtz's (thumb) return from the IL. Muncy has slashed .223/.298/.389 across 178 plate appearances with the Athletics this season and would likely be one of the first choices to return to Sacramento if the big club's infield depth is tested again down the stretch.
