Jazz Chisholm Jr. exits game following collision

Richards is back on the roster after four days away from the White Sox, but he’ll obviously get a few more days with his family with the All-Star break here.

Davis pitched three scoreless innings in his latest stint with the White Sox. He has a 4.10 ERA despite a 22/15 K/BB in 26 1/3 innings this season.

Kelly, who was called up Friday, gave up three runs while pitching two innings in the rout of the Brewers on Sunday. He’s allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings in two appearances for the Pirates this year.

Ortiz’s major league stint lasted just a few hours, but at least he did get to start and go 1-for-2 against the Yankees. The Nationals will add a pitcher in his place after the break.

Vargas doubled and scored in the fifth. In the sixth, he hit what should have been another double on a drive into the right field corner, but either because he thought it was a homer or that it was going foul, he didn’t run out of the box and then was thrown out at first base after a wide turn towards second. It still drove in the go-ahead run in what had been a 3-3 tie, and it gave him just his second multihit game since May 19.

Bratt was called up after it was revealed Saturday that Zac Gallen was being scratched. He struck out none and walked three today, throwing just 29 of his 58 pitches for strikes. The Diamondbacks, though, wound up winning 5-3 anyway, as six relievers all pitched scoreless innings behind him. It’s unclear if Bratt will stick around and start the second half in the rotation or return to Triple-A.

Even with his 4.24 ERA, Sewald has saved the Diamondbacks’ bacon by going 22-for-23 in save chances this year. The team will likely be a buyer at the deadline, but it’s highly unlikely that it’ll be targeting a closer upgrade. Starting pitching, on the other hand, seems like a big need.

After four scoreless frames, Sheehan was let down by his defense while giving up two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth. The Dodgers probably would have used a quicker hook with Sheehan today if not for the bullpen game Friday. As per usual, his velocity waned as the game went on; he averaged 95.6 mph with his fastball in the first but was down to 93.8 mph in the fifth and 92.8 mph in the sixth. There’s going to be a good argument for putting him in the pen once Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow return, but he should stay in the rotation for now.

The homer came on the first pitch of the bottom of the first, giving him nine leadoff homers this season. Ohtani was scheduled to have his left knee drained after the game. He’ll sit out the All-Star Game, but he’ll probably be in the lineup when play resumes Friday.

It’s Hernández’s fourth straight hitless game. He was swinging the bat really well in the couple of weeks leading up his hamstring injury at the end of May, but since returning, he’s 4-for-41 with one homer and no other extra-base hits. Given the quality of his defense, he needs to do considerably better than his current .243/.319/.387 line to justify regular playing time on a team as strong as the Dodgers are.
