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% hard-hit rate this season; the only hitter with 50 plate appearances doing better is Shohei Ohtani at 60.2%. Also, his strikeout rate is also down to 23.6% from 26.9% in his first season with the Red Sox and 36.0% 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.

While Wilyer Abreu and Marcelo Mayer are mostly sitting against lefties, Anthony has been in the lineup all three games as the Red Sox have faced three in a row. He’s 7-for-18 with four RBI in his last four games, and he’s hit .363 in his last 10 games to improve to .250/.353/.398 through 102 plate appearances.

A home start against the Rockies is as easy as it gets, but Fitts will definitely take the win after going 0-4 in spite of a 3.33 ERA in his first 11 career starts. The Red Sox had been 0-10 in those games until finally winning a Fitts start in the suspended game against the Reds last week, when rain brought things to a half with Boston up 2-1 after three. Fitts allowed five hits, walked one and struck out six tonight. He should stay in the rotation for now and face the Rays on Sunday, but things are about to get complicated with Hunter Dobbins and Tanner Houck close to returning.

Bregman added that he’s skipping next week’s Midsummer Classic in an effort to be ready to play in games for the Red Sox. The 31-year-old added that he’s hoping to return later this week before the All-Star break, but plans to be ready right afterwards if that doesn’t happen. It’s a significant development for the suddenly red-hot Red Sox, who have won seven of their last nine games following Monday’s slugfest victory over the Rockies at Fenway Park.

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.

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.

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.
