Third baseman Max Muncy was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and landed on the injured list Friday, a major blow to a Dodgers team that finds itself fading in the standings. Muncy was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup after feeling soreness in his right side during pregame batting practice.

Muncy was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and placed on the IL on Friday. Utilityman Buddy Kennedy was claimed on waivers from the Blue Jays to take his place on the roster.

Max Muncy has landed on the injured list for the second time this season, creating a platoon at third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
