Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy suffered a minor setback Friday.
The All-Star was not at the stadium for the Dodgers’ series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks because he was dealing with congestion and cold symptoms. The sickness is just another obstacle Muncy has dealt with in 2025.
Muncy has been dealing with an oblique strain on his right side since Aug. 15. He had just returned from the IL less than two weeks prior from a knee injury before sustaining another injury.
And now, the hope is that Muncy’s illness doesn’t affect his return timeline, which remains sometime next weekend when the Dodgers face the Baltimore Orioles.
