Andy Pages

Teoscar Hernández is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Nationals.

It appears to be a routine off day for Hernández with Andy Pages moving over to right field and Hyeseong Kim patrolling center field. The other notable change for Los Angeles is rookie Dalton Rushing handling the catching duties with Will Smith getting a well-deserved day off.

Shohei Ohtani will start on Sunday against the Nationals.

It’s official. Ohtani will take the ball for his second start on Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. He’ll likely only work an inning or two to kick off the contest since he’s continuing to build up his arm strength and pitch count on the fly. There’s very limited fantasy appeal at this point, but it’s undoubtedly extremely exciting to see him pitching in the big leagues again.

Andy Pages hit a solo homer in Saturday’s loss to the Nationals.

Pages got the Nats on the board with a solo homer in the fifth inning off Jake Irvin. The 24-year-old has gone deep 16 times, and he’s now hitting .292 with an .847 OPS. He isn’t getting nearly enough attention for how good he’s been in 2025, although fantasy managers who have rostered him this season are well familiar.

Byron Buxton went 3-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and two solo home runs against the Brewers on Sunday.

Buxton’s two home runs give him 17 on the season. He hit a solo shot off Quinn Priester in the first inning and another solo shot off Abner Uribe in the sixth inning. Buxton has two two-homer games in his last four games and has hit six home runs over his last six games. He’s hitting .285 with a .928 OPS and 47 RBI on the year.

Byron Buxton went 3-for-5 with a walk and two solo home runs against the Brewers on Sunday.

Sam Haggerty went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in a loss to the Pirates on Sunday.

Haggerty has been playing regularly for the Rangers and will likely continue to do so with Jake Burger sidelined and Josh Smith playing more first base. The 31-year-old is slashing .280/.350/.441 with two home runs and five steals on the season. He could be a short-term add in deeper formats.
