Overview

• Max Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list with a grade 1 oblique strain that manager Dave Roberts does not expect to be season-ending.
• Buddy Kennedy, 26, arrives by waiver claim from the Blue Jays and will provide multi-positional infield coverage despite modest major-league stats.
• Since 2023, Kennedy has posted a .284/.395/.443 slash line with a 116 wRC+ over 1,262 Triple-A plate appearances across four infield spots and left field.
• With no remaining minor-league options, Kennedy’s roster spot is likely temporary pending the return of sidelined infielders.
• Right-hander Julian Fernández was designated for assignment to open the 40-man slot, making him available to other clubs on waivers.
