The Los Angeles Dodgers activated infielder Max Muncy from the injured list but also placed infielder Tommy Edman on the IL on Monday.

Muncy, 34, has been sidelined since injuring his left knee during the Dodgers’ game against the Chicago White Sox on July 2. Playing at third base, Muncy attempted a leaping catch to snare a throw from catcher Will Smith as Chicago’s Michael A. Taylor tried to steal the bag.

Taylor’s helmet collided with Muncy’s leg, and the Dodger immediately collapsed to the ground and clutched his knee. A follow-up MRI, however, revealed no structural damage.

Muncy made five rehab appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he recorded five hits, including a home run, in 15 at-bats. He has played in 81 games this season for the Dodgers, recording a .250 batting average, 13 homers and 55 RBIs.

The 30-year-old Edman landed on the 15-day IL with a right ankle injury for the second time this season after spraining it in Sunday’s game at the Tampa Bay Rays. The 2024 NLCS MVP was hitting .228 with 12 home runs and 44 RBIs in 86 games this season, his second with Los Angeles.

Edman suffered a similar injury against Boston last week and previously spent May 3-17 on the injured list with right ankle inflammation.
