On June 11, 2018, Muñoz signed with the Atlanta Braves as an international free agent. He made his professional debut that year with the Dominican Summer League Braves, logging a 6.88 ERA in 10 appearances. Muñoz returned to the club in 2019, making 14 starts and compiling a 3.77 ERA with 67 strikeouts across 62 innings pitched.[1] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Muñoz returned to action in 2021 with the Single–A Augusta GreenJackets. In 8 games (6 starts), he recorded a 6.67 ERA with 33 strikeouts across 29+2⁄3 innings of work.[3] Muñoz split the 2022 campaign between the High–A Rome Braves and Double–A Mississippi Braves. In 22 starts between the two affiliates, he accumulated an 8–4 record and 4.66 ERA with 119 strikeouts across 100+1⁄3 innings.[4]

On June 6, 2023, Muñoz was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[7] He was optioned back to Gwinnett on June 8 after Michael Tonkin was activated from the injured list. In turn, he became a phantom ballplayer, having spent time on Atlanta's active roster without appearing in a game.[8] On July 13, Muñoz was designated for assignment following the promotion of Lucas Luetge.[9]
