A's Athletics third baseman, Muncy, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand for the second consecutive season due to a pitch incident. This injury is retroactive to Sunday, putting Muncy's earliest potential return date as May 6. Despite attempting to play through the discomfort, there was a clear drop-off in production before and after the injury occurred. Muncy will be shut down from all baseball activities for at least a few days as the club waits to see how his finger progresses. In his absence, Darell Hernaiz is expected to take over the majority of playing time at third base. Brett Harris, who was recalled from Triple-A, will provide bench depth as a versatile option.
