But when Muncy isn&#8217;t available for one reason or another? Goodness, things fall apart in a major way, as the team&#8217;s 25-29 record clearly proves.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, after going 1-5 over their last two games, including three-straight losses to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Muncy is officially back in LA, rejoining the Dodgers are they take on the Colorado Rockies in their pursuit of win No. 80. Discussing his rehab process with Kirsten Watson before the game, Muncy revealed his path back to the majors and why he feels he&#8217;s back on track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBody feels good. You know, it&#8217;s a strange rehab assignment because it&#8217;s one of those ones where you literally don&#8217;t worry about any of the results. You&#8217;re kind of more worried about checking boxes, you know, make sure you get swings off. You know, get a swing and miss, get a check swing,\u201d Muncy explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the results you&#8217;re looking for weren&#8217;t necessarily on-field results. It was more so just is the body gonna hold up, and everything felt great. There was no lingering soreness. No side effects, and you know, I felt like I was getting my swing off. I didn&#8217;t feel like anything was holding it back, and not to us, that was the most important thing everything else we can kind of figure out as we go. But you know, health-wise, that was the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Muncy is more of a lunch pail player than a household name, especially on a team absolutely loaded with legitimate Superstars, he has been the veteran leader who seemingly serves as a calming force in the dugout and in the middle of the order. With the playoffs rapidly approaching, a healthy Muncy might be just what the Doc ordered to get LA back on track.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Just activated off the injured list (oblique), Max Muncy talks with @kirsten_watson before tonight&#8217;s series opener with the Rockies. #LetsGoDodgers pic.twitter.com\/HmIGPWnkGi<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsNetLA\/status\/1965207728747696132?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1965207728747696132%7Ctwgr%5E86ad2e881a33b39e0201f224817f1e8b736b6d55%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fmlb%2Flos-angeles-dodgers%2Fdodgers-news-max-muncy-talks-journey-back-il-oblique-injury<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After another stint on IL, Max Muncy reveals his path back to the majors to rejoin the Dodgers in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":98428,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1852,2906,23],"class_list":["post-98426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-max-muncy","tag-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dodgers&#039;
