Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy are not in Los Angeles’ starting lineup on Thursday against the Braves.

They’ll take a seat against LHP Chris Sale. Alex Call will draw the start and bat seventh for Tucker; this appears to just be a routine day off. Enrique Hernández is playing third for Muncy and Muncy appears to be in some danger of losing at-bats against lefties now that Hernández is back.
Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy went 3-for-3 with two doubles, two runs scored, and a walk in the Dodgers’ 4-3 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

Muncy had an outstanding day at the plate, starting with a walk in the second. He then doubled to lead off the fourth and crossed home on a single. Muncy later doubled and scored again in the fifth before knocking a single for his third hit in the seventh. The 35-year-old slugger is hitting .258/.350/.513 with 26 homers, 69 runs scored, and 66 RBI across 449 plate appearances.
Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy hit a two-run homer to help the Dodgers beat the Pirates in extra innings Friday.

Muncy turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead with his 26th homer of the season; a two-run shot off Bubba Chandler. It’s the third roundtripper in five games for Muncy, and the fifth he’s hit in the month of August.
Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy hit a three-run homer off the bench Thursday against the Brewers.

The homer off Antonio Senzatela gave the Dodgers a 4-2 lead in the sixth and was his record 131st at Dodger Stadium. Even though the ballpark has been open since 1962, Eric Karros had been the stadium leader at 130.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s battle against the Brewers.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the dynamic 33-year-old infielder. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at shortstop and will bat sixth for the Dodgers against Brewers’ left-hander Shane Drohan on Thursday evening in Los Angeles.
Kyle Tucker

LAD Right Fielder #23

Kyle Tucker is in right field and hitting cleanup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is shaking things up by moving Freddie Freeman up to the second spot in the order with Andy Pages following and Tucker in the cleanup spot. Max Muncy and Mookie Betts remain in the middle of the lineup with Teoscar Hernández on the bench.

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Diamondbacks.

Muncy will take a seat with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez toeing the slab for the Diamondbacks. Enrique Hernández will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat eighth for the Dodgers on Sunday in Phoenix.
Miguel Rojas

LAD 2nd Baseman #72

Miguel Rojas (ankle) is available off the bench for Sunday’s game against the Red Sox.

Rojas suffered an ankle injury against the Red Sox on Saturday, and already underwent X-rays which came up negative. Consider Rojas day-to-day.
Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy is absent from the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Mets.

The 35-year-old slugger will get a breather with left-hander Sean Manaea toeing the slab for the Mets on Friday evening. Tommy Edman will man the hot corner in his absence and will bat third for the Dodgers on Friday evening in New York.
Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy hit his 20th homer of the year, a two-run shot off Aaron Nola, in the Dodgers’ 9-5 win over the Phillies on Wednesday.

The homer broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth. Muncy passed Ron Cey with his 228th homer as a Dodger, moving him into fourth place in franchise history. He’s 14 behind Roy Campanella for third place.

Marlins placed INF Xavier Edwards on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.

Edwards left Sunday’s game after colliding into Jorbit Vivas’ shoulder when he was sliding into second. He’ll now be out for at least the next 10 days, but the Marlins have not given an exact timeline for his return as of Monday afternoon. They remain just 3.5 games out of the playoffs, so we don’t believe Edwards is at risk of being shut down just yet.

Curtis Mead (wrist) played catch before Monday’s game.

Mead no longer has a cast on his left wrist after fracturing it back on July 27th. It’s nice to see him playing catch without the cast on his glove hand, but we’ll need to see him hit before we have a better sense of exactly when he’s going to return to Boston’s lineup.

Red Sox recalled C/1B Mickey Gasper from Triple-A Worcester

Gasper was just sent back to Triple-A on Sunday with Roman Anthony off the injured list, but he’s eligible to return to Boston because Willson Contreras (hamstring) is now going on the IL. Gasper has hit a solid .278/.374/.466 with five homers and 19 RBI in 156 plate appearances with the Red Sox. He’s starting at first base and batting second on Monday against the Mariners.

Red Sox placed 1B Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

According to the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey, Contreras has been dealing with a hamstring issue for about a month. Between that and getting hit in the head against the Dodgers on August 1st, Contreras has slashed 217/.330/.386 since then. Perhaps a two-week reset will help the first baseman recapture some of his previous form before the end of the season.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the White Sox are acquiring outfielder Tommy Pham from the Phillies.

Since Pham is not on the 40-man roster, he is eligible to be traded despite the fact that the trade deadline has passed. Pham is expected to join the White Sox when rosters expand on Tuesday. He was 0-for-13 in his brief stint with the Mets earlier this season, and hit .245/.330/.370 in 120 plate appearances for the Pirates last year.

White Sox activated LHP Tyler Schweitzer from the paternity list.

The left-hander has a 3.64 ERA in 29 2/3 innings with the White Sox this season and has really struggled in his last two outings, allowing five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Perhaps he had other, more important things on his mind. He’ll come back to a middle relief role for the White Sox.
