Dodgers Place Max Muncy On Injured List

By Anthony Franco | June 16, 2023 at 6:55pm CDT

The Dodgers announced a handful of moves before tonight’s series opener with the Giants. Right-hander Emmet Sheehan was selected to start tonight, as previously reported. Los Angles also recalled infield prospect Michael Busch from Triple-A Oklahoma City. They put Max Muncy on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 13, with a left hamstring strain while optioning right-hander Michael Grove to Triple-A.

Muncy has been hobbled by the hamstring for the past few days. He’d hoped to avoid the IL but still isn’t at full strength. Skipper Dave Roberts downplayed real concern, saying the club was confident the power-hitting infielder would be back once first eligible a week from now (relayed by Fabian Ardaya of the Athletic).

Chris Taylor is getting the start at third base tonight. Busch could also factor into that mix as part of his second MLB stint. The former first-round pick got into seven games earlier in the year, hitting .211/.348/.211 over 23 trips to the dish.

Sheehan, on the other hand, is making his big league debut. It’s more than just a spot start for the Boston College product. Roberts said they’re likely to give Sheehan a couple turns through the rotation with Grove heading to the minors (relayed by Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times). Grove has had a tough go this season, allowing an 8.10 ERA over 30 innings across seven appearances.

        Theo is one of those whackadoodle lawyer types…I mean, he’s always spouting some outlandish confection that I can’t even find in Urban Dictionary, you know maybe it’s just pure inspiration ?!?

    Could we call hamstring DL moves “Hammy Time” in future?

      No, because they’re IL moves and have been for a few years.

          I got the joke, dumpster, including the reference to a former A’s ball boy. It’s just that “DL” was replaced with “IL” a few years ago.

      I guess now that The Rat King Chris Taylor has landed on the same list for a bone bruise we should probably call it the Hambone or 3rd List.

    Considering he’s hit .160 since May 1 with a 30% strikeout rate, it’s probably not a bad thing that he’s going to get some time off. Hopefully, they let Busch play and not sub in off the bench from time to time.
    Tough night (atmosphere) for a pitcher to have to make his ML debut. Good luck Sheehan.

      He’s always been abnormally streaky

      Think we are past looking at the K’s with him, the question was would the power come back and it has so I don’t have many worries here
      Good timing on Peralta too waking up

        But Muncy usually hits well against SF, so maybe it’s not such a good thing. lol

          Vincent, you should read those posts again from candle and talking. Unless you were responding to the dopes at the top of these comments.

    Is there something about Muncy and his propensity to miss chunks of seasons on a consistent basis?? Is it just me, or does Muncy come across as not-particularly endearing and perhaps a hard guy to warm up to if you’re not a Dodgers diehard fanboy??

      Are you limiting this to just Muncy? Justin Thomas; Chris Taylor; Joc Pederson….

      The warming up to part – not necessarily the injury part.

      I think his story is pretty cool even if your not a fanboy or girl

      This guy grinded his way out from obscurity on the biggest stage. Has switched positions 3 times, signed a below market ext, and has never made a peep

    Maybe the Dodgers will sign and activate a sister/nun to replace Muncy.
