Overview

  • On August 4, Los Angeles reinstated third baseman Max Muncy from the 60-day injured list and placed versatile utilityman Tommy Edman on the 15-day IL in a one-for-one swap.
  • Muncy returned just over a month after suffering a left-knee bone bruise, immediately slotting back at third base to bolster the middle of the Dodgers’ batting order.
  • Edman’s right ankle sprain is a recurrence of the injury that sidelined him in May, and he is expected to miss multiple weeks while the Dodgers proceed with caution.
  • Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the club will rely on utilitymen Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland to cover Edman’s defensive versatility across the infield.
  • The moves underscore the Dodgers’ confidence in their internal roster depth as they maintain momentum in the NL West race.
