Hernandez went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Hernandez had gone six games without a homer after a stretch in which he went deep five times over five contests earlier in the month. He saved his best play for last Tuesday, putting the Dodgers ahead with a ninth-inning blast to complete the comeback win. The outfielder is up to 18 homers, 54 RBI, 41 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .255/.326/.503 slash line through 75 games this season. He's firmly on pace to top the 30-homer mark for just the second time in his career.

Hernandez went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Hernandez had gone six games without a homer after a stretch in which he went deep five times over five contests earlier in the month. He saved his best play for last Tuesday, putting the Dodgers ahead with a ninth-inning blast to complete the comeback win. The outfielder is up to 18 homers, 54 RBI, 41 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .255/.326/.503 slash line through 75 games this season. He's firmly on pace to top the 30-homer mark for just the second time in his career.
Pages went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Pages got the Dodgers on the board with his second-inning blast. The rookie outfielder has gone 5-for-21 with two homers over his last six contests, and he continues to see steady playing time in center field. Pages is up to a .262/.318/.426 slash line with eight long balls, 21 RBI, 34 runs scored, one stolen base and nine doubles through 55 games.
Heyward hit a grand slam in his only at-bat in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Heyward didn't start against southpaw Austin Gomber, but he was clutch when called upon in the ninth inning. Heyward hit for Chris Taylor and delivered a grand slam that got the Dodgers within a run, setting the stage for Teoscar Hernandez to be the hero with a go-ahead three-run blast later in the frame. This was Heyward's fourth homer of the campaign, two of which he's swatted in the last seven games. He's slashing .250/.344/.488 with 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases over 93 plate appearances.
Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Ohtani batted leadoff for the second game in a row, and it looks like that'll be his spot as long as Mookie Betts (wrist) is unavailable. While Betts' absence is a big one for the Dodgers, Ohtani should be plenty capable of filling in atop the order, given his excellent batting skills and his noticeable speed. The 29-year-old has multiple hits in four of his last five games, and he's up to a .316/.388/.608 slash line through 325 plate appearances this season. Ohtani has added 20 homers, 49 RBI, 57 runs scored, 16 stolen bases, 20 doubles and two triples. His RBI numbers may dip, but that should be offset by a slight uptick in crossing the plate himself.
Phillips struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Alex Vesia issued a two-out walk, and Phillips was able to strike out Hunter Goodman on five pitches to secure the save after the Dodgers' ninth-inning comeback. Aside from a three-run misstep in Pittsburgh on June 6, Phillips has pitched well since his return from a hamstring injury. He's at 11 saves with a 1.89 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 19 innings this season.
Buehler allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday. Buehler has struggled at times this season since he returned from Tommy John surgery, and a trip to Coors Field did him no favors for getting on track. He's struck out three or fewer batters in each of his last three starts, and this was the third time this season he's given up multiple home runs in an outing. Buehler is at a 5.84 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB with 10 homers allowed over 37 innings across eight starts. He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox, though Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports that Buehler took a comebacker off the hip in Tuesday's game, which has generated some concern from manager Dave Roberts. Roberts added that Buehler may require a stint on the injured list, stretching thin a rotation that's also missing Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder), though Bobby Miller (shoulder) will be back Wednesday.
Heyward isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado. Austin Gomber will toe the slab for the Rockies on Tuesday, meaning the left-handed bat of Heyward will step out of the lineup. Teoscar Hernandez will move to right field as a result, opening up left field for Miguel Vargas.
Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies. The lefty-hitting Biggio will get a day off versus southpaw Austin Gomber and the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez will get the nod at third base instead while batting seventh.
