Dodgers’ Max Muncy & Wife Kelly Receive Heartfelt Notes From MLB WAGs After Latest Family Announcement

For a couple that has always managed to keep it loveably low-key, this new chapter in their family story hit just the right note. Max Muncy and Kellie Muncy have been through dual whirlwinds of MLB seasons and toddler seasons simultaneously. Their growing family has always been a source of quiet joy; however, this time, the buzz was not just within their household—it was all over the baseball community. With one daughter and one son already lighting up the star couple’s world, fans were already charmed by the balance in the family lineup.

However, now, the scoreboard has been broken—in the best way possible. Kellie currently took to Instagram with a short, however, sweet declaration: “And the tie breaker goes to…. GIRL 💗 we are beyond thankful for the blessing of adding another sweet baby to our family 👶🏼.” This simple caption, filled with warmth, quickly drew love from around the world. For those who have followed their journey, the post marked a heartwarming chapter following the birth of their daughter, Sophie Kate, in 2021 and son, Wyatt James, in 2023. It was not just fans who celebrated—the MLB WAG community showed up big time.

Among the first to react was Chelsea Freeman, wife of another Dodgers’ star, Freddie Freeman. She liked Kellie’s post and added to the flood of virtual hugs. However, it did not stop there. McKenzie Buehler, wife of pitcher Walker Buehler, dropped in a sweet post: “Congratulations!! Can’t wait to meet her!” It was not just your typical ‘like-and-scroll’ reaction—it felt personal, as if the star families are a team of their own. Honestly, it is no surprise. These women know the rollercoaster life of a MLB star’s spouse better than anyone, and when a teammate’s family grows, the love multiplies.

Now this is where the timing gets interesting. While the Max Muncy family is gearing up for a new arrival, things on the field have been a mix of steady and stressful. The Dodgers star is putting up decent numbers this season.250 AVG, 13 home runs, 55 RBIs, and a respectable .832 OPS, and ranking 35th in the league. Not bad at all, specifically, for someone who has bounced around positions like 2B, 3B, and SS. However, just as this joyful news dropped, he also landed on the 10-day IL with a hairline fracture in his hand. The good news? Reports say it’s manageable.

So while the bat could be on pause for now, life is not. Between diapers and Dodgers drama, Max and Kellie Muncy are juggling the beautiful chaos like pros. However, the Dodgers have felt the star’s absence on the field and in the team.

Muncy’s injury woes cast a shadow over the Dodgers’ summer surge.

Injuries are part of the game; however, sometimes they show up at the worst possible moment. On July 2, Max Muncy took a tough knock in the period of a collision at third base while trying to apply a tag against the White Sox. The outcome? A left knee bone bruise and a trip to the injured list that is now stretched to 16 consecutive missed games. The timing could not be worse for the Dodgers, as the team’s momentum dropped, and so did their lead in the NL West standings.

Expected to be out for six weeks, there is finally a silver lining—Muncy’s rehab is progressing quicker than expected. As per team reports, hr could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. With no structural damage identified by the MRI, there is growing optimism that the star could return ahead of schedule. It is not just his bat that has been missed—it is the veteran leadership that is hard to measure but impossible to replace.

While the team still boasts a loaded lineup featuring Ohtani, Will Smith, and Freddie Freeman, the offense has felt Muncy’s absence. Add in 51 walks and the capability to play multiple positions, and it is clear how much flexibility Muncy brings to Dave Roberts’ daily approach.

We also can not forget—this is a star built for October. With 13 career postseason homers, over 900 career games, and two World Series rings in 2020 and 2024, his playoff résumé speaks for itself. Muncy’s voice in the dugout, specifically, when force peaks, is a steadying availability the Dodgers have leaned on time and again. With Mookie Betts temporarily away from the Dodgers, the team’s depth is being pushed to its limits.

However, if Muncy’s family announcement gave the fans something to cheer about, the star’s expected return could soon provide them something to believe in. Because while the future looks bright off the field, the Dodgers know they will need their veteran slugger back on it—sooner rather than later.
