Muncy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis:
Muncy has settled into Ike Davis' (quad) role, getting regular starts against right-handers but no playing time against southpaws. While scheduled to start taking batting practice Thursday, Davis will likely miss at least another two weeks. Muncy has 53 plate appearances this season, with just one of those coming against a lefty.
