Rejoins big club Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 24-year-old had a one-day stint with the Dodgers in April and is now back with the major-league club. Hernandez will provide infield depth with Chris Taylor (knee) landing on the injured list.

Heading to injured list Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Taylor (knee) is going on the 10-day injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact The transaction should be retroactive to a few days ago, which would allow the 32-year-old to be activated as early as next weekend. According to Ardaya, the skipper indicated the bone bruise in Taylor's right knee hasn't gotten any worse since he suffered the injury June 16, but there's also been minimal improvement. Yonny Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Not starting Sunday Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Vargas started the past eight games and will receive a day to regroup after he went 1-for-29 during that stretch. Mookie Betts will come in to play second base while Jason Heyward starts in right field.

Remains out of lineup Sunday Taylor (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts indicated Friday that Taylor could have a chance to rejoin the lineup Sunday, but the utility man will instead be held out of the starting nine for a seventh straight game due to bone bruise in his right knee. The Dodgers have a team day off Monday, and the 32-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener versus the Rockies.

Nabs win in return Bickford (2-2) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, striking out four batters over two perfect innings.
Impact Bickford was impressive in his return from a back injury, striking out two Astros in each of his two frames and retiring all six batters he faced. The right-hander had been struggling mightily prior to going on the injured list June 3, allowing 12 runs over his prior 7.1 innings. The Dodgers bullpen has been among the worst in the NL this season, so Bickford could get a chance to work up to a high-leverage role if he shows the ability to consistently pitch well.

Homers off bench Peralta went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run Saturday in an 8-7 victory against the Astros.
Impact Peralta began the game on the bench but entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and sparked Los Angeles' comeback with a two-run shot to right field. It was the fifth homer of the campaign for the veteran, three of which have come over his past 11 games. Peralta has been steady in a platoon role for the Dodgers, slashing .267/.308/.407 with 28 RBI over 185 plate appearances, all but nine of which have come against right-handed hurlers.

Launches long ball Saturday Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 victory versus the Astros.
Impact Smith put the Dodgers on the board with a solo shot to left field in the first inning and scored the game-tying run during the team's rally in the eighth. The long ball was his 11th of the season, which ranks fourth among big-league catchers. Smith's other offensive numbers help make him one of the game's elite hitting backstops, as he's slashing .292/.407/.508 with 39 RBI, 36 runs, one steal and a 37:33 BB:K.

Knocks in three runs in victory Heyward went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in an 8-7 win against Houston on Saturday.
Impact Heyward helped Los Angeles get off to a fast start with a two-run shot in the first inning, and he was part of the team's eighth-inning comeback with a sacrifice fly. The veteran outfielder has seen inconsistent playing time of late, and Saturday's homer and runs batted in were each his first in two weeks. Heyward has flashed good power with eight long balls over 165 plate appearances on the season, but his fantasy appeal is limited to occasional streaming in favorable matchups.

Secures save Saturday Phillips earned a save against the Astros on Saturday, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning.
Impact After Los Angeles rallied for three runs to take the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, Phillips was tasked with closing out the win in the ninth. He immediately allowed the tying run to reach base on a Kyle Tucker single, but Tucker was wiped out on a double play, and Phillips finished things off by getting Yainer Diaz to fly out. Brusdar Graterol notched a save in the opener of the series Friday and continues to be a ninth-inning option, but Phillips is the more desirable Dodgers reliever for fantasy purposes, as he's notched three of the team's past four saves and hasn't been scored upon in any of his past five appearances.

Struggles again Saturday Miller allowed six runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out three batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against the Astros on Saturday.
Impact Miller managed to get through four frames with only one run scored against him, but the tide turned dramatically in the fifth. In that inning, all seven Houston batters who came to the plate against him reached base, with Alex Bregman's grand slam representing the biggest -- but not the only -- blow. Miller's line could have actually been even worse, but Yency Almonte worked his way out a no-out, men-on-the-corners situation without allowing either of the inherited runners to score. Miller looked like he could be a Rookie of the Year candidate over his first four starts, during which he posted a 0.78 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 23 innings while picking up three wins. However, the right-hander has come back down to earth in his two starts since, allowing 13 runs on 17 hits and registering an 8:6 K:BB across 9.2 frames. J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reported prior to the contest that both Miller and fellow rookie Emmet Sheehan are expected to remain in the rotation even after Julio Urias (hamstring) returns from the injured list next week, though that decision could eventually shift if Miller continues to struggle.
