Muncy has been out since July 2, missing nearly five weeks with a bone bruise in his knee after a collision on a tag play during a game against the Chicago White Sox.

With an injury issue arising for Tommy Edman, Max Muncy is back in the Dodgers lineup after missing less time than was initially anticipated.

The Dodgers activated third baseman Max Muncy off the injured list Monday and placed utility man Tommy Edman on the IL because of a right ankle injury. Edman suffered what the Dodgers called a sprain while rounding first base in the fifth inning of Sunday's road game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
