KEY FACTS
  • De Paula was playing his third game since being called up straight from double-A on Friday.
  • Before the homer, De Paula had drawn four walks in his first nine plate appearances.
  • The 21-year-old is described as a top prospect for the Dodgers.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The immediate backdrop is the active US–Israel campaign against Iran that began with coordinated strikes in March 2026, an escalation Washington and Jerusalem said they launched in response to a series of threatening Iranian actions they cited earlier in 2026.

Structurally, that confrontation sits atop international nuclear and sanctions frameworks: the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed July 14, 2015, the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018, and successive U.S. and EU secondary sanctions regimes reinstated after that withdrawal.

Brief

Josue De Paula hit a 413-foot, second-deck, three-run home run for his first Major League hit off Miami right-hander Eury Pérez. The homer energized the Dodgers and De Paula celebrated by gesturing to his dugout and smacking his chest repeatedly.
