LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy landed on the injured list Friday for the second time this season, creating a platoon situation at third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 34-year-old infielder has a Grade 1 right oblique strain, which was revealed in an MRI on Thursday. He was a late scratch from a recent game with soreness in his right side.

Manager Dave Roberts said the injury isn’t season-ending, but Muncy will be out “absolutely longer than the 10 days.”

“It’s certainly a tough loss," Roberts said. “Guys just got to continue to perform to their abilities. It’s hard to kind of backfill Max, what he brings as far as the plate discipline, the slug, the on-base, all that stuff.”

Muncy is hitting .258 with 17 home runs and 64 RBIs in 89 games. He hit his 200th career homer on May 31.
