, missed three games while on paternity leave. Each was among the team’s hottest hitters when they last took the field; Smith batted third and Muncy fourth on Friday against St. Louis.
“If you look at what’s transpired … the roster’s been in flux for so long,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It certainly makes more sense why we haven’t had any consistency but when you’re mired in it, you don’t try to let that bleed into your mindset.

The veteran said he “should’ve spoken up sooner” after experiencing pain in his back running out of the batter’s box in the fourth inning Sunday in Chicago. His back was still ailing during each of his next two plate appearances, including one that resulted in a home run in the sixth inning. To make room for Muncy on the active roster, the Dodgers optioned infielder Luke Williams to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Williams had one hit, a single, in 10 at-bats.and optioned left-hander Justin Bruihl to Oklahoma City.
