Max Muncy has been activated from the injured list for the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending a nearly five-week absence due to a knee bone bruise suffered during a collision against the Chicago White Sox. Prior to his injury, Muncy was in top form, boasting an OPS of .832 with 13 homers and 55 RBIs. His return is considered crucial for the Dodgers as they aim to fortify their lineup for the postseason.

However, the Dodgers also face challenges, as Tommy Edman has been placed on the injured list after aggravating a right ankle injury, an issue that has plagued him previously. Manager Dave Roberts expressed hope for Edman's return but acknowledged the need for caution to prevent further setbacks.

In other injury news, utility player Kiké Hernández continues to recover from an elbow injury, while prospects like Hyeseong Kim are nearing returns. Rookie Roki Sasaki is set to throw live innings soon as he aims for a minor league rehab assignment. The Dodgers, while maintaining their roster, are hopeful for a full recovery of injured players as they gear up for another World Series defense.
