Max Muncy starting at shortstop in Cactus League matchup

Max Muncy will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Thursday’s Cactus League game against the Padres.

Fantasy Impact:

After missing the final stretch of the 2024 season due to an unspecified injury, Muncy appears fully recovered and ready for a full workload this spring. The 22-year-old shortstop prospect has struggled early in Cactus League action, going hitless with one walk in his first five plate appearances. While he's expected to begin the season at Triple-A Las Vegas, a strong spring could accelerate his path to the majors, especially if Oakland needs infield depth.
