Hoornstra of the Orange County Register writes about the many tweaks and adjustments that Muncy has made to his plate approach and his swing, and how Dave Roberts views the two time All Star amidst his recent struggles:
Mookie Betts has established himself as one of the greatest power hitting leadoff hitters in baseball history, with his 45 leadoff home runs placing him eighth all time for career leadoff home runs.This is another obstacle in May’s pursuit of a healthy season, as the 25-year-old has already undergone Tommy John surgery back in 2021 and has only made 15 starts since returning from the injured list last season. That’s the optimistic case, though the pessimist’s view is that repeated elbow injuries are the worst omen imaginable, and that May might need more time to return at all, and certainly to return in good form.” That puts May on track to return to the majors next June, or perhaps earlier if his rehab goes well. “Flexor tendon surgery generally requires six to 10 months of recovery. Ben Clemens at FanGraphs elaborates on the revised recovery time for May’s injury while comparing the recovery process to that of Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, who was sidelined for over ten months before making his return on Tuesday: While certain players such as Kershaw, Noah Syndergaard, and Chris Taylor will return to the team after the All Star break, the team will be without their flame throwing right hander Dustin May for the remainder of the season and beyond.Īlthough initially given an estimated four to six weeks of time needed to recover, May’s prognosis didn’t capture the true severity of his flexor pronator strain. And with all the losses the Dodgers suffered in their lineup this offseason, they could really use it.The Dodgers’ laundry list of players stricken with the injury bug continues to stockpile, with Clayton Kershaw becoming the newest member of the injured list.

We started to see signs of it at the end of 2022, but with a full offseason of work, Muncy feels confident that he can get back to being that All-Star caliber player in the heart of the Dodgers’ lineup. If all goes well for Muncy this offseason, there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing the pre-elbow injury Max Muncy in 2023. It’s something that I don’t like the extra movement in the timing aspect of it, so I would like to not have to do it. I’m checking the film on it and trying to make sure I’m working downhill. I’m trying to make sure that I’m very cognizant of what my body is doing. “Now that I’ve had a full offseason getting stronger and getting healthy, the past couple weeks that I’ve been starting my swing I’m doing no step back. “I’m trying to phase it out,” Muncy said. Now, however, Muncy is looking to put that step back move in the past, and go back to being the old Max Muncy. He had a lot more confidence in his approach, and even earned himself a contract extension in late-August. Muncy slowly worked his average back up, getting all the way back to the. And that “last ditch effort” is what really started to turn his season around.
In the game, he hit three low line drives, which he hadn’t been doing all year, so they went with it for the rest of the year.
