On Sunday, two Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers resumed their paths to full health through minor league rehab starts, with Luis García delivering a scoreless inning for Low-A Rancho Cucamonga and Tyler Glasnow pitching two scoreless innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. García, sidelined since June 1 due to a right adductor strain, recorded one strikeout and managed to escape a two-out ground-rule double without allowing a run. Similarly, Glasnow, who has been out since April 28 with shoulder inflammation, faced some control issues by walking three batters and throwing a wild pitch in his second inning, yet he finished without surrendering a run.
Josue De Paula’s All-Around Performance Highlights Great Lakes Victory
High-A Great Lakes’ Josue De Paula showcased his hitting and base-running skills as he reached base three times and drove in three runs during Sunday’s game against the Peoria Chiefs. De Paula delivered his 10th home run of the season, matching his total from 2024 despite significantly fewer plate appearances. In addition to his home run and an RBI single, he walked and stole three bases, tying his career best stolen base mark from July 2022 in the Dominican Summer League. This balanced combination of power and plate discipline illustrates De Paula’s development during his second stint with Great Lakes this season.
Key Offensive Contributions Lead Great Lakes to Win
The Great Lakes team received major contributions from multiple players in their win over Peoria. Esteury Ruíz hit two home runs, stole his 35th base of the season, scored three runs, and drove in three, while James Outman added a home run and a steal within a four-hit performance. Ryan Ward complemented the offense with three hits, and Kendall George, Zyhir Hope, Wilman Diaz, Joe Vetrano, and Jordan Thompson also stole bases, underscoring the team’s aggressive base-running.
Oklahoma City’s Offensive Push Helps Secure Win Against Round Rock
At the Triple-A level, Oklahoma City spread its scoring across five innings to defeat the Round Rock Express 10-8. Despite Round Rock scoring seven runs in a single fourth inning against starter Landon Knack, the Drillers secured the victory by mounting consistent offense over multiple innings. However, in a separate outing, Oklahoma City’s pitching staff suffered a shutout loss against the Midland RockHounds, managing just four singles and three walks.
Promising Outings from Dodgers Minor League Arms
Chris Campos continued his strong season by pitching 2⅔ scoreless innings on Sunday with two strikeouts for High-A Great Lakes. Coming off a dominant 7⅓ scoreless innings performance earlier in the week, Campos contributed solid defense by fielding a ground ball to prevent a run. Maddux Bruns, also pitching for Great Lakes, extended his outing to three innings in his second start back from the injured list, striking out four batters and allowing only one run.
Quakes Receive Strong Batting from Meza and Elkins
The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes secured a 6-3 victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm, buoyed by Jose Meza’s power hitting and speed on the bases. Meza homered, collected two singles, drove in three runs, and stole two bases during the game. Jaron Elkins also made significant contributions with two doubles, two runs scored, and two stolen bases, leading the California League with 42 steals across 62 games.
