Max Muncy's injury is a significant blow to a Dodgers offense that has struggled and is in desperate need of its right-handed batters to produce more.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Max Muncy on the injured list Friday evening prior to their weekend clash with the San Diego Padres. Muncy was a late scratch prior to the Dodgers' game on Wednesday when he felt soreness in his right side during batting practice, and now he lands on the IL.

The first option to take over at hot corner after Max Muncy's injury is Alex Freeland, but the Dodgers have multiple alternatives.
