On the heels of a breakout season, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy reported to Spring Training looking to replicate the success he enjoyed in 2018.
That unfortunately hasn’t been the case, as Muncy has struggled at the plate for the better part of Cactus League play. Entering play Sunday, he was hitting a meager .190/.292/.262 with three doubles and four RBI over 42 at-bats in 16 games.
Included in that rough stretch was a forearm injury that Muncy sustained, although he quickly shrugged it off and recently returned to the starting lineup.
In the event Muncy is unable to snap out of his slump during the regular season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed that he hasn’t yet considered any contingency plans, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.
