Dodgers' Max Muncy: Resting against lefty
Rotowire
Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
The Dodgers are facing a lefty starter (Kyle Harrison) for the first time since June 5, so the left-handed-hitting Muncy will take a seat after he had been included in the lineup in each of the previous eight games. Miguel Rojas will step in at third base for Muncy and will bat ninth.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Reaches four times in loss
Rotowire
Muncy went 2-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to St. Louis.
The Dodgers offense struggled to produce runs again Saturday, but Muncy did what he could to set the table from the middle of the order by reaching in all four of his trips to the plate. The veteran third baseman even got himself into scoring position with a rare stolen base -- his third of the campaign, which is already tied for the second-highest total of his career -- but he ended up being stranded there. Muncy continues to turn things around at the plate; he was hitting below the Mendoza Line as recently as May 14 but has batted .311 over 20 games since then to push his season slash line to .229/.353/.422.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Idle for series finale
Rotowire
Muncy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
The Dodgers and Mets are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, and southpaw David Peterson is on the hill for New York, so the left-handed-hitting Muncy will get the afternoon off. Miguel Rojas will check in at third base in place of Muncy, who went 7-for-19 with five home runs, three walks, 11 RBI and six runs while starting in each of the past five contests.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Swats two more homers
Rotowire
Muncy went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mets.
Muncy is up to nine homers this season, with six of them coming over his last seven games. In that span, he has gone 9-for-22 (.409) with 14 RBI. He supplied a two-run homer in the first inning Tuesday and then delivered the game-tying run with a solo shot in the ninth. Muncy has slashed .230/.350/.432 with 35 RBI, 19 runs scored, two stolen bases, eight doubles and a triple over 57 contests in 2025. This power surge should help the third baseman maintain his strong-side platoon role at the hot corner, and he even got a start versus a lefty (Ryan Yarbrough) on Sunday.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Continues power surge
Rotowire
Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Muncy's third long ball of the three-game series was a 403-foot solo shot to right field in the seventh inning. The veteran slugger didn't go deep until his 29th game of the season and was stuck on that single long ball and a batting average below the Mendoza Line through 39 contests. However, he's turned things around since mid-May, slashing .320/.422/.700 with six home runs, 23 RBI, nine runs, one stolen base and a 10:7 BB:K over his past 16 games.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Powers offense in rout
Rotowire
Muncy went 3-for-6 with two home runs, three total runs and seven RBI in Saturday's 18-2 thrashing of the Yankees.
Muncy's first RBI was a relatively quiet one, as he laced a single to center to bring in the Dodgers' second run in the first inning. The veteran third baseman followed with two big blasts -- a 400-foot, three-run shot in the second inning to send New York starter Will Warren to the showers and a 410-foot, three-run blast in the fifth. Muncy achieved a couple of personal milestones Saturday, as his first long ball was the 200th regular-season homer of his big-league career, while his seven RBI tied a single-game career high. He appears to be coming around in the power department; after swatting just one long ball in his first 39 games, Muncy has belted five homers while racking up 22 RBI over his past 15 contests.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Launches second homer
Rotowire
Muncy went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.
The third baseman was on his way to a hitless performance but instead broke the game open in the eighth inning with a three-run shot to right field. It's just the second home run of the year for Muncy, who is batting .191/.310/.305 through 40 games this year. He's never provided a high-average bat, but Muncy has yet to consistently find his power stroke in 2025 with a .114 ISO and 29.0 percent strikeout rate, both of which would be career worsts for a full season.

Muncy would add a second hit with a leadoff triple in the seventh. It's been a rough start to the year for the veteran third baseman, though he's shown signs of life recently, going 5-for-15 in his last four contests. Overall, Muncy's slashing .194/.309/.301 with five RBI and seven runs scored through 110 plate appearances this season.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Plates two in spring win
Rotowire
Muncy went 1-for-1 with a double, two RBI and two walks against the Guardians in a Cactus League victory Tuesday.
Muncy's first-inning double was just his second extra-base hit of the spring. However, he's tied for third on the team with six RBI and ranks second with eight walks. Muncy has posted a walk rate of at least 15 percent in six of his seven seasons with the Dodgers and has belted 30-plus homers four times during that span, making him a particularly valuable third-base option in fantasy leagues that use OBP rather than batting average.
