The Dodgers are missing Max Muncy's presence

While they've been able to generate enough in this week's set against the New York Mets, it's a group that just isn't quite there yet given how potent the lineup was early in the year. While there are some aspects to which we can point (and have pointed), it's important not to overlook the absence of Max Muncy in the broader context of their struggles. Out with an oblique injury and without a timetable, the lack of his power in the lineup has directly correlated with some of their recent struggles. The last game in which we saw Muncy was on March 15th.
