SAN DIEGO — The Dodgers wanted a little more power out of their left-handed third base option with Logan Forsythe sidelined with right shoulder inflammation, so on Tuesday they promoted Max Muncy from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Muncy signed with the Dodgers last season and hit .309/.414/.491 with 20 doubles and 12 home runs in 109 games for Oklahoma City, and started this season 10-for-32 (.313/.421/.563) with two home runs and two doubles in Triple-A before the call up. He saw time mostly at third base and first base last year but also mixed in time at second base and both outfielder corners.
