The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Max Muncy off the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s series opener against the New York Mets. He returns just over two weeks removed from suffering a right wrist fracture.
He was hit by a pitch and immediately removed from the series finale against the San Diego Padres. A fluoroscopy at Petco Park that night did not reveal the fracture, though Muncy was still experiencing limited range of movement and discomfort the following day.
That prompted an X-ray, which also came back negative, but an MRI revealed the small fracture. Although he was due to miss some time, Muncy considered the prognosis a bit of a best-case scenario.
