Dodgers Activate Max Muncy from Injured List, Returns to Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy has been activated from the injured list and returned to the lineup, batting fifth and playing third base. He had been sidelined since July 2 due to a bone bruise in his knee sustained during a collision, but returned quicker than the initial six-week projection. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Muncy's return strengthens and lengthens the Dodgers' lineup, as he had shown significant improvement in June prior to his injury.
