The Los Angeles Dodgers picked up third baseman Max Muncy’s club option for 2026 on Thursday following his strong showings in 2025.
The third baseman got hot right at the end of April, hitting his first home run of the season on the final day of the month, and carried his momentum through the next few months before landing on the injured list. Muncy hit five home runs in May while logging 26 RBIs, then finished June with seven home runs and 24 RBIs.
His hot streak ended there, though, as he suffered a bone bruise in his knee against the Chicago White Sox on July 2, keeping him out until August, then landed on the injured list for a second time later that month with an oblique strain.
