Overview

  • Max Muncy was reinstated from the injured list following a left knee bone bruise and five rehab games at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
  • Tommy Edman has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a recurrence of a right ankle sprain suffered Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
  • Manager Dave Roberts described the one-for-one roster swap as natural and stressed a cautious approach to Edman’s recovery to avoid further setbacks.
  • Versatile infielders Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland are expected to cover second base and other positions in Edman’s absence.
  • The Dodgers have declined to pursue deadline trades and are banking on returning players to maintain lineup stability during the tight NL West race.
