Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is moving forward in his recovery from a right oblique strain after a chiropractic adjustment, manager Dave Roberts revealed Thursday.Dave Roberts said Max Muncy had a "breakthrough" and is feeling much better after a "chiropractic adjustment" involving his ribsbefore the Dodgers were swept by the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. “So I’m really encouraged. I talked to him by text today. So I think that we’ve kind of crossed a hurdle.
Muncy is slashing .223/.323/.475 with a .798 OPS. The power hitter has nine home runs, 28 RBIs, 31 hits, and 24 runs in 40 games. Edman is currently dealing with an injury of his own. He was put on the injured list March 25 with discomfort in his right wrist which was a just a few days before the St. Louis Cardinals opened their season against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
“But having gotten a fair number of at-bats so far helps out with the timing factor. That’s one of the biggest issues, is getting timing back as a hitter. And I think I’m going to try to get some live at-bats and then getting comfortable in the field as well.
