It appears the Los Angeles Dodgers are getting their third baseman back soon.
Manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Wednesday that Max Muncy will head out on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City this weekend.
Muncy last played on May 15 against the San Francisco Giants because of a right oblique strain but he turned a corner after a chiropractic adjustment at the end of July.
“Max had a real good breakthrough with how he felt,” Roberts revealed to reporters before the Dodgers were swept by the San Diego Padres on July 31.
