Everybody else is already at dinner or celebrating while it’s barely past lunch for me, so you get a July 4th offering from me today.

Something to watch out for is the MLB debut of Eliezer Alfonzo, who was called up for Chuckie Robinson in an exchange of backup catchers.
Pen reinforcements are coming as Evan Phillips will be activated tomorrow.
——
As far as health updates, some promising stuff, as Shohei Ohtani‘s discomfort has responded to treatment and Enrique Hernandez is ahead of pace.

The Dodgers will also send five players to the All-Star Game, including four starters. Freddie Freeman will start at first, Max Muncy at third, Andy Pages in the outfield, and Shohei at DH. Meanwhile, Yamamoto was selected as a starting pitcher.
Still a chance Justin Wrobleski and/or Tanner Scott get added if pitchers drop out.
