The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated Max Muncy from the injured list, providing a significant boost to their offense as he returns after nearly five weeks due to a knee bone bruise. Muncy had been performing exceptionally before his injury, posting a .832 OPS with 13 home runs and 55 RBIs. His return comes at a crucial time as the Dodgers face a setback with Tommy Edman heading to the injured list due to a re-aggravated ankle injury. Edman was batting .228 with 12 homers and had also faced ankle issues earlier this season.

Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Muncy’s swift recovery and highlighted the importance of his presence in strengthening the lineup. Meanwhile, the team is hoping for quick returns from other injured players, including utilityman Kiké Hernández and pitcher Tanner Scott. The Dodgers have opted for stability in their roster following the trade deadline, focusing on getting their key players back to ensure a solid push for the postseason.
