Muncy will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Muncy will stick in the lineup for a sixth straight game after going 3-for-15 with a home run, three walks, three runs and three RBI over the prior five contests. Though he looks to have taken hold of a regular spot in the starting nine with Tyler Soderstrom (hip) lost for the season, Muncy could find himself on the bench more frequently once the Athletics get Denzel Clarke (hamstring) or Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) back from the injured list.
