Muncy went 4-for-5 with three solo home runs and five total runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Rangers.
Muncy had a monster game with solo shots in the second, fourth and ninth innings. His third long ball was a walk-off blast to secure the win after Edwin Diaz blew the save chance in the top of the ninth. Muncy is up to four homers, four RBI, 11 runs scored, no stolen bases and a .286/.375/.571 slash line over 12 contests this season. He continues to see plenty of playing time at third base and should be in the lineup there versus nearly all right-handers, though he's likely to cede playing time against lefties to Santiago Espinal.

Rotowire
Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus the Guardians.
Muncy gave the Dodgers a little breathing room with his solo shot to right field in the sixth inning to make the score 2-0. He also scored the final run of the contest in the eighth frame after rapping a single to center. The veteran third baseman notched his first RBI of the campaign on the solo blast, but he's hit well so far, slashing .364/.553/.636 through five games. He's also showing his usual good eye at the plate with more walks (four) than strikeouts (three).

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Looks ready for season
Rotowire
Muncy went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI in a spring win over the Angels on Sunday.
Muncy's RBI came on a bases-loaded walk in the third inning. The veteran third baseman has performed well during the exhibition slate, posting a .333/.429/.583 slash line with three home runs, seven RBI, eight runs and a 6:8 BB:K through 14 games. Muncy has missed over 150 games due to injury over the past two seasons, so staying healthy would go a long way toward firming up his fantasy value.
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Inks one-year contract extension
Rotowire
The Dodgers signed Muncy to a one-year, $7 million contract extension Thursday. The deal includes a $10 million club option (or $3 million buyout) for 2028.
Muncy was already locked in for the 2026 season after the club picked up his $10 million option, and he's now guaranteed another $10 million through the end of the 2027 campaign. The 35-year-old has battled injuries the last two seasons but has remained very good with the bat, having slashed .243/.376/.470 with 19 home runs across 100 regular-season tilts in 2025. Muncy is slated to be the Dodgers' primary third baseman again in 2026.
The Dodgers picked up Muncy's $10 million club option for 2026 on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Keeping Muncy in town was likely an easy decision, as the 35-year-old slashed .243/.376/.470 with 19 homers, 67 RBI and 48 runs scored over 388 regular-season plate appearances. He added three more long balls and scored eight runs during the Dodgers' postseason run, which ended in the team winning its second World Series title in as many years. Muncy is likely to remain Los Angeles' primary third baseman while the club goes for the three-peat in 2026.
