Brief IL stint expected Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said over the weekend that he anticipates Muncy (oblique) spending the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Roberts' comments imply some level of confidence that Muncy is dealing with a low-grade strain to his right oblique, but given the volatile timetables typically associated with this type of injury, it's hardly a given that the 30-year-old will be ready to return from the IL when first eligible June 22. Muncy will travel with the Dodgers for their six-game, two-city road trip that begins Friday, and he'll likely need to prove his health in batting practice and fielding and baserunning drills during the upcoming weekend in order to guarantee a brief IL stint.

Lands on injured list Muncy has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Muncy exited Friday's game with side tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said earlier Saturday that the infielder was going through tests to determine is he would have to go on the injured list. The severity of the strain isn't known at this point, but given that oblique injuries often lead to multi-week absences, Muncy seems likely to miss at least the rest of June, though he'll become eligible to be reinstated June 21. The Dodgers will likely provide further update later Saturday. Luke Raley was recalled in a corresponding roster move.

JUNE 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Saturday lineup Muncy (side) is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Rangers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Muncy exited Friday's game with tightness in his right side. The severity of the issue is still not entirely clear, so it remains to be seen if an IL stint could be in the infielder's future. Albert Pujols will star at first base and bat fourth Saturday.

Exits with side tightness Muncy left Friday's game against the Rangers with right side tightness, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact This sounds potentially more worrisome than if Muncy had re-aggravated his ankle injury, as was initially speculated by Dodgers beat reporters. It's not clear whether Muncy will be sent for tests or if it's simply a day-to-day issue. He hit a two-run homer prior in his lone at-bat before being replaced by Albert Pujols.

Homers in first inning, then exits Muncy exited Friday's game against the Rangers after apparently re-aggravating his right ankle, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact He hit a two-run home run in the first inning and was replaced by Albert Pujols for the top of the second inning. It's unclear how serious the injury is and the team has not yet confirmed the location of the injury.

JUNE 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup at first base Muncy (ankle) will start at first base and bat second Thursday against the Pirates, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Just as manager Dave Roberts suggested would be the case, Muncy will return to the starting nine for the series finale after the Dodgers elected to hold the 30-year-old out of action for Wednesday's 2-1 win to receive some extra maintenance for his sore right ankle. Though Muncy is expected to fill a regular role moving forward, he still has yet to regain full lateral mobility due to the ankle issue, so the Dodgers will likely limit him to playing first base for the time being. Muncy previously made 15 starts at second base this season.

JUNE 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 1B due to injury Muncy, who is being held out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates while he manages a sore right ankle, is expected to be limited to playing first base if he rejoi...

Impact Muncy returned from a two-game absence due to the ankle injury in Tuesday's 5-3 win, going 2-for-5 with an RBI. He'll sit Wednesday as part of a pre-planned maintenance program, but the ankle injury still looks to be affecting Muncy in the field, even though he didn't aggravate the issue Tuesday. According to Juan Toribio of MLB.com, manager Dave Roberts noted that Muncy won't be a candidate to go on the injured list, but the 30-year-old will work solely as a first baseman in the short term since the sore ankle is limiting his mobility too much for him to capably handle the keystone.

JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting, as expected Muncy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Muncy battled a sprained ankle over the weekend, but he returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 5-3 win and went 2-for-5 with an RBI. While Muncy didn't experience a setback during the contest, but manager Dave Roberts noted that he planned to give the veteran a maintenance day Wednesday. Muncy will presumably check back into the starting nine for Thursday's series finale.

JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to get Wednesday off Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Tuesday that Muncy will be given the day off Wednesday, per Dodger Insider.

Impact After being limited to one pinch-hit opportunity over the weekend due to a sprained right ankle, Muncy was inserted back into the lineup Tuesday and made his mark with a pair of singles, including a fifth-inning base knock that plated Mookie Betts. There is no indication that Muncy aggravated the injury in the win, so the decision to keep him out of action Wednesday is likely precautionary as the veteran isn't yet entirely free of pain in the ankle.
