Max Muncy will likely return from the injured list for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ upcoming road trip against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles next week.
Manager Dave Roberst told reporters that Muncy will face live pitching on Tuesday. Muncy could also begin a rehab assignment this week, setting him up for a return next week.
The Dodgers placed Muncy on the 10-day IL on Aug. 15 with a right oblique strain. He had just returned from a knee injury 11 days prior.
Muncy made his first stint on the IL at the beginning of July after sustaining a knee injury from a collision at third base during a game against the Chicago White Sox.
