Muncy homered and walked twice before being replaced by pinch-runner Santiago Espinal. Normally, that would be a downgrade — Muncy runs better than Espinal — but it seemingly was a nod to Muncy being under the weather.

Muncy and Dalton Rushing both hit a pair of homers, with Muncy’s coming off Jose Quintana and Tanner Gordon. Remarkably, Muncy now has eight homers on the season, but only nine RBI. Seems impossible, but to say the 35-year-old is off to a hot start is an understatement. Those RBI totals should continue to rise for Muncy playing in the loaded Dodgers lineup.

Muncy obliterated a 2-1 cutter from Tomoyuki Sugano in the second inning for a 452-foot (107.9 mph EV) solo shot that made it a 2-0 ballgame. He then smacked an RBI double in the third inning that made it 3-0. Muncy also tagged Zach Agnos for a 419-foot (105.2 mph EV) solo shot in the fifth that made it 6-1. It’s already Muncy’s second multi-homer game of the young season. He’s off to a terrific start at the dish, slashing .254/.338/.556 with six homers and seven RBI in his first 71 plate appearances.

Glasnow took Kumar Rocker deep twice in the first four innings, but he saved his biggest blow for the ninth, hitting a solo homer with two outs off lefty Jacob Latz. It was Muncy’s second career three-homer game and first with five runs scored, as he also crossed home plate after a single and reaching on a forceout. He entered the night with just one RBI in 11 games, and he still hasn’t plated anyone besides himself, as all of tonight’s homers were solo shots. However, he has scored 11 runs for the 10-3 Dodgers.

Muncy drew a walk in the second inning, then took Kolby Allard deep for a solo homer in the sixth, a 410-foot blast at 108.1 mph off the bat. He added a base hit in the eighth and scored a second run, reaching for the third time in the contest. The 35-year-old slugger is a safe bet for power in a potent lineup as long as he can avoid the injured list.

Muncy will sit again with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez getting the nod for the D-backs Saturday evening. Santiago Espinal will draw the start at the hot corner and hit seventh. Alex Freeland is also out of the lineup, with Miguel Rojas hitting ninth and lined up at the keystone.

Muncy reached on a fielder’s choice in the opening inning and scored on Santiago Espinal’s two-run double. He then tagged Reds’ starter Nick Lodolo for a 395-foot (106.9 mph EV) two-run shot in the third inning that increased the Dodgers’ lead to 6-3. The 35-year-old slugger has been sizzling as the dish, hitting .333 (7-for-21) with a pair of homers and four RBI in Cactus League play.

Muncy singled off of left-hander Aaron Ashby in the opening inning and advanced to third on a knock by Nick Senzel, but he was left stranded there. He then smacked a two-out single in the third inning and scored the Dodgers’ first run on an RBI single off the bat of Dalton Rushing. He’s having a strong spring, hitting .375 (6-for-16) with a homer and two RBI.

The deal will pay Muncy $7 million for the 2027 season and includes a $10 million club option for the 2028 season with a $3 million buyout. The 35-year-old slugger slashed .243/.376/.470 with 19 homers and 67 RBI in just 100 games for the Dodgers during the 2025 campaign.

Muncy let the Dodgers tack this option on to his two-year, $24 million deal even though it’s a cut in pay and didn’t include a buyout. Still, he’s always seemed just happy to be there. The 35-year-old hit .243/.376/.470 in 100 games last season.

Muncy drew a walk off of Max Scherzer in the fourth inning and singled in the sixth, but the Dodgers were unable to cash him in either time. He then tagged right-hander Trey Yesavage for a 373-foot (102.2 mph EV) solo shot in the eighth inning that pulled the Dodgers to within a run at 4-3. Muncy also singled in the 10th inning to put two men on with one out, but the Dodgers were unable to push a run across. He finished the postseason hitting .214/.353/.411 with three homers and three RBI in 56 at-bats.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has flipped Muncy — who launched a pivotal solo homer during the late stages of Saturday night’s Game 2 win in Toronto — and Teoscar Hernández on his lineup card to face Blue Jays veteran Max Scherzer as the best-of-seven Fall Classic shifts to Los Angeles. Here’s the full lineup: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Mookie Betts (SS). Freddie Freeman (1B), Will Smith (C), Muncy (3B), Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (2B), Enrique Hernández (LF) and Andy Pages (CF).

The Dodgers had just snapped a 1-1 tie earlier in the inning as Will Smith crushed a go-ahead solo shot off of Jays’ right-hander Kevin Gausman. Two batters later, Muncy pummeled a 2-2 fastball from Gausman for a 351-foot (100.9 mph EV) solo shot that increased the Dodgers’ edge to 3-1. That would be his only hit in three at-bats on the evening. For the postseason, the 35-year-old slugger is hitting .229/.372/.429 with a pair of homers and two RBI in 43 plate appearances.

Muncy increased Los Angeles’ lead in the late stages of the contest with a pivotal insurance run when he connected for a 412-foot big fly to straightaway center field on a full-count offering from Brewers ace Freddy Peralta with two outs in the sixth inning. The 35-year-old veteran slugger took over sole possession of the franchise’s record with his 14th career postseason round-tripper. With the victory, the Dodgers take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series with both clubs headed out to Los Angeles.

No real surprises here as Los Angeles kicks off its title defense against Cincinnati at Dodger Stadium. Muncy returns to the cleanup spot to face Reds ace Hunter Greene in the opening contest of the best-of-three NL Wild Card Series after missing a couple games at the end of the regular season with a lower body issue. The other notable development here is Will Smith (hand) being available off the bench for his first game action since September 9. Here’s the full lineup Shohei Ohtani (DH), Mookie Betts (SS), Freddie Freeman (1B), Muncy (3B), Teoscar Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (2B), Andy Pages (CF), Enrique Hernández (LF) and Ben Rortvedt (C).

Muncy missed Los Angeles’ final four regular-season contests due to a non-disclosed lower body injury. The 35-year-old veteran third baseman should be a full-go for the postseason after getting some extra time off to rest and recover.

Muncy sat out over the weekend due to an unspecified lower body injury, but it sounds like it was more of a precautionary measure than anything else. Look for the 35-year-old slugger to return to the Dodgers’ lineup when the bright lights come on for the postseason.

There’s zero incentive for the Dodgers to rush Muncy back after capturing their 12th division title in the last 13 seasons earlier this week and locking up the NL’s third overall seed in the playoffs. The 35-year-old veteran has missed four straight games due to an unspecified lower body injury. It’ll be a red-hot Enrique Hernández continuing to fill-in at the hot corner in his absence.

While it seemed that Muncy was just getting a breather on Friday night alongside Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, he’s actually dealing with a minor issue. Roberts noted that they’ll give him a few days to work through it, so it’s possible he sits out the entire weekend series against the Mariners.

The D-backs are starting a lefty in Jalen Beeks, but he’s just been a one-inning guy of late and won’t be in the game for long, making Muncy’s absence a bit surprising. Still, this is probably more about maintenance after the injuries he’s dealt with recently. The same goes for Edman. The Dodgers are three games up on the Padres in the loss column in the NL West and no longer have any chance of securing a bye, so they can take it pretty easy at this point.

Muncy is back at the hot corner and batting seventh on Monday night at Dodger Stadium after sitting out Sunday’s game. The 35-year-old veteran third baseman has been snake-bitten by injuries this season and that trend continued over the weekend when he was hit by pitches in the head and forearm. It sounds like he’s feeling better and ready to roll after a brief hiatus.

Muncy takes a seat after being hit by a pitch in back-to-back games in the series. The 35-year-old veteran appears to have checked out fine after being hit by a pitch in the head during Saturday’s contest. He’ll get a break from facing Giants southpaw Robbie Ray on Saturday afternoon and is day-to-day heading into Monday’s showdown against the Phillies.

Muncy can’t seem to catch a break lately. The 35-year-old veteran, who was back in the lineup after being hit by a pitch on the forearm during Friday’s series opener, was lifted from Saturday’s contest a couple frames after being drilled in the side of the head by a 94 mph sinker. There should be an update on his status prior to Sunday’s contest.

Muncy is back at the hot corner and batting cleanup on Monday night against the Rockies in his return to the lineup following a nearly one-month absence recovering from an oblique strain. The 35-year-old should add some much-needed pop to Los Angeles’ struggling offense.
