-Max Muncy was transferred to the 60-day IL (oblique). Muncy is not eligible to return until July 16. He took ground balls today but has many steps (live ABs and a minor league rehab assignment)
-Activated RHP Kyle Hurt and optioned him to OKC. Muncy was on pace for 36 home runs and 100+ RBI before going down. Tough blow for the Dodgers offense.
If a guy has a season-ending injury in August, it's okay to say he was on pace for this or that. But when he goes down in May (and remember, at the time it was thought to be a scam injury just to they could activate someone else), I'm not interested in "on pace for" laments.
What if a guy had three homers the first 6 games and then blew out his knee; is it fair to complain he was on pace for 81 homers?
