Max Muncy Placed on Injured List With Fractured Left Hand

The Athletics placed Max Muncy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 26, after he suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. This injury will sideline the infielder for an extended period while the fracture heals. The team has not yet provided a definitive recovery timeline, but the move to the IL was necessary to open a roster spot. Muncy's absence creates a void in the Athletics' lineup that will need to be filled by the team's utility players.
