Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Muncy's 135 wRC+ this past season was his highest mark in three years. Unfortunately, it came over only 79 games, as the veteran infielder was shelved for more than three months with a nagging oblique strain. Muncy took his extreme fly ball tendencies to even greater lengths in 2024, with his 54.2 percent fly ball rate representing the highest mark of his career and the second-highest in all of baseball among players with at least 250 plate appearances. His 16.7 percent HR/FB rate was his second-lowest as a Dodger, however, which isn't surprising since the ball didn't carry as well across the league. The left-handed-hitting Muncy's effectiveness versus lefty hurlers has waned in recent years. It's led to fewer starts for the 34-year-old against southpaws, but to this point it hasn't been a strict platoon situation. Read Past Outlooks

Out at least six weeks
Muncy (knee) said Thursday he expects to be sidelined for at least six weeks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Analysis
Muncy injured his knee when he was slid into on a stolen base attempt Wednesday night. There was some concern he'd miss the rest of the season, but imaging revealed a bone bruise rather than ligament damage. Given that, this is relatively good news, particularly if Muncy can return near the announced timeline in mid-August. Miguel Rojas is starting at third base in Muncy's place Thursday against the White Sox and should be among the players to see a bump in playing time for the near future.

Stat Review
How does Max Muncy compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2016
Muncy continued to take the launch angle revolution to an extreme, but at least it paid off with tying his career best in homers and setting a new personal high with 105 RBI. Muncy's average exit velocity and hard-hit rate were around 80th percentile, but even with a 49.3 percent fly ball rate, Muncy collected only 17 doubles, resulting in a low .221 BABIP. As usual, Muncy walked at an elevated 14.7 percent clip, so he was still better suited for on-base and points leagues than standard 5x5 with batting average. The Dodgers extended Muncy's contract through 2025 with a club option for 2026, so they are clearly happy with his production and his skill set generally ages well. Buffer his batting average in standard leagues and like the Dodgers, you'll be happy with his three-category contributions. Just keep in mind for the first time in several drafts, Muncy does not have multiple-position eligibility; he's third base only to begin the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Not going with 'torpedo' bat
In an appearance on Foul Territory on Tuesday, Muncy said he's not utilizing the new torpedo bat because having more weight in the center of the bat "just felt really off."
Analysis
Muncy has utilized the same bat model throughout his MLB career, so he would likely need a full offseason to have a chance of successfully transitioning to a different stick. The third baseman has yet to get on track offensively this season and has gone 7-for-38 with 15 strikeouts and just three walks in 11 games.
