Dodgers' Max Muncy: On bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Muncy is absent from Tuesday's lineup against Atlanta.
Muncy has had a rough start to the season and will get some rest Tuesday with lefty Chris Sale on the mound. The third baseman has recorded just two hits through the first six games and has struck out in seven of his 15 plate appearances. Miguel Rojas has the start at third base Tuesday night.
Muncy went 1-for-1 with a double, two RBI and two walks against the Guardians in a Cactus League victory Tuesday.
Muncy's first-inning double was just his second extra-base hit of the spring. However, he's tied for third on the team with six RBI and ranks second with eight walks. Muncy has posted a walk rate of at least 15 percent in six of his seven seasons with the Dodgers and has belted 30-plus homers four times during that span, making him a particularly valuable third-base option in fantasy leagues that use OBP rather than batting average.
