LOS Angeles – The Dodgers activated the third basic player Max Muncy out of the injured list on Monday and placed the Tommy Edman public service on the IL because of a right ankle injury.
Edman underwent what the Dodgers called a sprain while rounding the first base in the fifth round of the Sunday Road match against the Rays of Tampa Bay. Edman, 30, missed the first two weeks of May due to a right ankle injury and had trouble since his return, reducing .214 / .273 / .323 on a 56 game section.
The Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, did not provide a calendar for the return of Edman, but said that he “would be back at a given time”. Dodgers do not want to bring him back until he is completely healed this time.
“Where we are on the calendar,” said Roberts, “we must make sure that we do everything on the front that we have no reverse.”
Muncy returned to his customary place n ° 5 for the opening of a three-game home series against the Cardinals of Saint-Louis.
A little over a month ago, he didn’t think he would go back to the field this year.
In sixth round on July 2, with Clayton Kershaw to a withdrawal of 3,000, the chicago white sox Michael A. Taylor was the first to head the left knee of Muncy. Muncy said that his initial thinking was: “I have to get off this field so that Kersh could continue to shed.” Going down the tunnel, Muncy was convinced that his season was over.
With Muncy on the coach’s table, the Dodgers medical staff examined his left leg. He was told that the knee felt strong, that swelling was not as bad as expected. An MRI the next morning revealed no structural damage.
“While I was lying on the ground that night, I certainly thought:” That’s “,” said Muncy. “At that time, obviously, you have a million things that start to cross your mind. Obviously, they are all the worst. It is difficult to stay positive in a moment like that. But I just try to be grateful and blessed to be able to return to the baseball field this year.
