Vaughn hit a ball 409 feet to left to make a spectacular first impression for his new team. He also walked and scored a second run before, oddly, being pinch-hit for by Jake Bauers with a righty on the mound in the seventh (oddly because Vaughn got the nod over Bauers against a righty in the first place). The homer was Vaughn’s sixth in 49 major league games this season. He’ll definitely be back in there tomorrow with the Dodgers starting a lefty.

Murphy had previously said he was “pissed” and wanted Ortiz to “give me his best approach at the plate every day... We’re playing him every day, and he just can’t have lapses at the plate like that.” Since June 1st, Ortiz is hitting .263/.311/.424 with four home runs, 20 RBI, and four steals in 31 games. He also has a 16/6 K/BB ratio over that stretch, so the swing decisions don’t seem to be too egregious. Hopefully this doesn’t interrupt the rhythm he was creating at the plate.

Peralta struck out seven and walked one in what turned out to be a pretty easy outing after the Brewers erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the first. He’s now won five straight starts, which isn’t easy to do these days, and he’s only two off his career high for victories from 2023. The NL All-Star is likely to start again Sunday against the Nationals.

Schanuel laid off an offering from Hoby Milner with the ducks full to walk in a run and give the Angels the win. The 23-year-old has been so-so in 2025 for the Angels with a slash of .261/.354/.391, and he’s now driven in 36 runs over the first 90 games of the campaign. He helps the Angels a lot more than he helps fantasy teams.

Gonzalez crushed a Ryan Rolison pitch 111.1 mph over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park, and his other two balls in play were 106.9 mph and 103.6 mph. He has a ridiculous 59.6 percent hard-hit rate this season; the only hitter with 50 plate appearances doing better is Shohei Ohtani at 60.2 percent. Also, his strikeout rate is also down to 23.6 percent from 26.9 percent in his first season with the Red Sox and 36.0 percent during his White Sox career. He certainly wouldn’t maintain his current .923 OPS while playing regularly against righties, but he deserves a shot to show what he can do outside of a platoon role.

Hernández has seen an uptick in playing time since Max Muncy hit the injured list with a bone bruise in his left knee, but he’s going to miss a couple weeks. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Hernández has been dealing with the issue in his non-throwing elbow for nearly a month. The versatile 33-year-old figures to return at some point in the early stages of the second half.
