The Los Angeles Dodgers post All-Star Third Honkman Max Muncy on the injured list of a sloping tribe of class 1, announced Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Friday.
Buddy Kennedy, who just claimed the team at a claim from the Toronto Blue Jays, is being activated.

Muncy suffered the injury for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Angels while he did pregame cage work. Muncy reported pain in his side and underwent tests that revealed a tension.
Muncy will miss more than the at least 10 days on the injured list, per Roberts, and the manager said it will be a week to week. Roberts said it was similar to what Muncy treated last season, but milder. Muncy missed three months with the injury last season.
“I don’t think anyone expects it to end seasonally,” said Roberts about Muncy’s new injury.
The Dodgers attack has struggled this season without Muncy, on average only 3.47 points per match in the 32 games he missed.
Conversely, when Muncy plays, the Dodgers have an average of 5.79 runs per game.

Muncy missed just over a month after a knee injury at the beginning of July when Chicago White Sox -outfielder Michael A. Taylor slid into his knee. The Sluggende Third Honkman managed to return to schedule, but now goes back to the IL a little more than a week after his return.
Muncy is far from the only side player of the position, such as Tommy Edman, Kiké Hernandez and Hyenseong Kim are all out with different injuries.
In the game of Friday evening, the Dodgers go against the Padres in second place in the National League West, one match back from the striping brothers.
The Dodgers must manage without Muncy for the near future without Muncy, because they try to return to first place in the NL West and to keep their status in the Play -Off Race with less than two months to go in the regular season.
