Bradley Zimmer could return to lineup tonight after concussion protocol

Around the League

• Giancarlo Stanton now has 53 home runs and one broken TV camera to his name this season.
• The Los Angeles Dodgers may have forgotten how to baseball recently (and they will have nightmares of JD Martinez for years).
• Aaron Judge made history on Monday night and, surprisingly enough, it wasn’t because of his strikeouts.
• The Angels also made history by using an obscene amount of pitchers in one game.
• And finally, FiveThirtyEight has the two teams tied at the top of their ELO list (hint: one is from Cleveland).
