Max Muncy Set to Rejoin Dodgers as Wrist Injury Is Monitored

Overview

• Muncy was hit on the right wrist by a pitch during the Dodgers’ weekend series and left that game after initial X-rays showed no obvious fracture.
• After several days out, he took batting practice and threw across the diamond on Tuesday and looked well enough that manager Dave Roberts said a return before the team’s day off is possible.
• The Dodgers do not expect an injured-list stint but are monitoring daily and planned advanced imaging because wrist swelling can hide hairline fractures and Muncy has a prior 2019 wrist injury.
• Muncy has been a key offensive contributor this season, hitting .258/.363/.515 with 12 home runs through 48 games, so his availability matters for the lineup.
• Watch for team updates on scans and swelling over the next 24–48 hours and for how the club uses short-term roster options if Muncy needs extra time to recover.
