Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is on the injured list again, and now the team is hoping its offensive performances don't suffer with his absence.

Third baseman Max Muncy was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and landed on the injured list Friday, a major blow to a Dodgers team that finds itself fading in the standings. Muncy was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup after feeling soreness in his right side during pregame batting practice.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced news on two-time All-Star Max Muncy after he was scratched from the lineup.
