Muncy is being held out Friday after receiving a cortisone injection in his left knee Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

It was surprising that Muncy was not in Friday's lineup after racking up six hits, three homers and six RBI over his last two appearances, but it appears he was not simply getting a night off. According to the report, Muncy's knee "has been bothering him for some time" and he figured it was "best to address it before (the) postseason." He could conceivably return to the lineup Saturday, but it seems more likely he'll get additional time to recover.
