AutoDraft Pro AI

Max Muncy was a late scratch from the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup on Wednesday after experiencing soreness in his right side during pregame batting practice. This injury prompted Mookie Betts to be placed back into the lineup, with rookie infielder Alex Freeland shifting to third base. The Dodgers hope Muncy will heal during the upcoming off-day and rejoin the team for their highly anticipated series against the San Diego Padres starting Friday.
