An illness forced Muncy's removal from Saturday's starting lineup, but he is evidently feeling well enough to give it a go Sunday night against lefty Andrew Alvarez. The 36-year-old Muncy has hit 20 of his 26 homers this season against righties but has more than held his own against same-side pitching as well (.794 OPS).

Muncy was originally slated to start at third base but was removed from the starting nine a few hours before game time, with Enrique Hernandez penciled in at the hot corner in his place. Given that the reason for Muncy's scratch was deemed to be an illness, he should be considered day-to-day.
