Muncy (hand) will serve as the designated hitter for Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Muncy fractured his left hand on a hit-by-pitch in mid-April, which led to him being placed on the 10-day injured list later in the month. He started his swing progression in mid-May and has progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment. It's unclear how many minor-league games Muncy is expected to need before rejoining the A's, but he appears to be close to coming back from the injured list.

Maxwell Muncy: Breaking News
Taking BP on field
Muncy (hand) has been cleared to take batting practice on the field and also go through infield drills, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Muncy has been out since late April with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand, He is taking some big steps forward with his recovery, but the Athletics are refraining from offering a timetable for the infielder's return to the active roster. Because he's missed so much time, Muncy is undoubtedly going to require a rehab assignment before returning.
Begins swing progression
Muncy (hand) has begun a swinging progression, Jason Burke of SI.com reports. Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list nearly three weeks ago with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand, and he's finally ready to start ramping up his rehab. The young infielder will need to go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Athletics' active roster, and it's unclear how soon he might be ready for that. Zack Gelof has been filling in at third base in Muncy's stead.
