Dodgers Activate Key Players Muncy, Vesia for Rockies Series

The Los Angeles Dodgers are bolstering their roster as they aim to contend in the final weeks of the 2025 season, with key players Max Muncy and Alex Vesia expected to return from injury soon. Muncy, who has been instrumental offensively when active, is coming back from a ribcage injury and had previously overcome vision issues that had hampered his performance earlier in the year. Vesia, a reliable left-handed reliever with a 2.75 ERA this season, will rejoin the bullpen after recovering from a right oblique strain; his return is seen as crucial given recent bullpen struggles that contributed to a damaging series loss against the Orioles. Additionally, starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is anticipated to return to the mound shortly after a back injury, while Tommy Edman is also nearing activation. Despite having one of the most talented rosters in the league, the Dodgers have battled injuries throughout the season, and these returns provide a much-needed boost as they hold a narrow lead over the San Diego Padres in the National League West division. The team hopes these reinforcements will stabilize both their offense and pitching staff in their quest for a deep postseason run.
