The team kept him fresh despite his hot streak, as he’s already played 83 games this season — more than last year’s total — thanks to his DH role. Meanwhile, rookie pitcher Miguel Ullola could make his MLB debut today, facing off against Jack Flaherty, who’s back from injury and looking to bounce back after a rough season with Detroit. A loaded matchup with key players returning — don’t miss it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
