The Los Angeles Dodgers snapped a five-game losing streak on Sunday and got one of their key players back a day later.
Third baseman Max Muncy was activated from the injured list on Monday in advance of the three-game series vs. Colorado.
Muncy, 35, played at least 135 games for the Dodgers in each full season from 2018-23, but has missed over 140 over the last two seasons. He has been on the IL two times in 2025, most recently the result of a right oblique strain.
He was hitting .258 with 17 home runs, 64 RBIs and an OPS of .880 when he went on the injured list on August 15. Earlier this season, the 10-year veteran surpassed the 1,000 plateau for games played and the 200-home run mark (212).
Los Angeles hopes Muncy can inject life into their offense, which scored only 12 runs in the last five games. The Dodgers (79-64) are one game ahead of San Diego in the NL West.
Catcher Chuckie Robinson was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
