Dodgers put Andy Pages on IL with hand fracture

Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Player Stats

Dodgers placed OF Andy Pages on the 10-day injured list with a left hand fracture.

Pages can be dropped in nearly all redraft fantasy leagues as he’s expected to miss 4-5 weeks after suffering the injury when he was hit by a pitch during Friday’s game against the Pirates. The 25-year-old was in the midst of a stellar campaign where he was delivering second-round fantasy value, hitting .272/.338/.458 with 72 runs scored, 21 homers, 80 RBI and 12 steals in 550 plate appearances. It sounds like there’s a chance he’s back at the end of the regular season and should be ready to roll by the time the Dodgers kick off the postseason. It’ll be a combination of Alek Thomas, Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernández taking over in center field during his absence.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Andy Pages underwent a minor surgical procedure to repair a left hand fracture.

There’s still no clear timeline for his potential return to action, but it’s encouraging to hear that the procedure was minor. As long as the Dodgers have him back in time for the postseason, they’re not going to rush his rehab.
Alek Thomas

LAD Center Fielder

The Dodgers are calling up center fielder Alek Thomas, according to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya.

Thomas isn’t the most exciting option from a pure fantasy perspective, but he makes the most sense as a short-term stopgap for the Dodgers with Andy Pages set to miss 4-5 weeks with a fractured hand. The 26-year-old defensive specialist is an excellent defender in center field and is already on the 40-man roster. He’ll split time with Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernández for the next couple weeks. There’s a chance that a top prospect like Josue De Paula, Mike Sirota or James Tibbs III get a look once rosters expand, but that seems unlikely at this juncture.

LAD Center Fielder #44

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Andy Pages is expected to miss 4-5 weeks with a fractured left hand.

Pages underwent X-rays that revealed the fracture after being hit by a pitch during the early stages of Friday’s game against the Pirates. Roberts didn’t say how the Dodgers intend to replace Pages, but former Diamondbacks center fielder Alek Thomas, who is already on the 40-man roster, seems like the obvious choice. He could come up and play against most righties, with Tommy Edman moving to center against lefties. That would free up some infield time for Enrique Hernández and Miguel Rojas. There’s an extremely small, but non-zerp possibility that the Dodgers bring up one of their top outfield prospects like Josue De Paula, Mike Sirota, or James Tibbs III.

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages will have X-rays Saturday after getting hit on a hand by a pitch Friday against the Pirates.

Pages said the pitch hit him on the outside of his left hand, just below his pinkie finger. If he needs to miss some time, the Dodgers could call up Alek Thomas to share time with Tommy Edman in center. Top prospect Josue DePaula is strictly a corner outfielder and probably wouldn’t be viewed as a potential option here.
Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages went 3-for-4 and collected his 20th homer and 12th steal Friday in the Dodgers’ 3-1 win over the Brewers.

Pages scored the Dodgers’ first run on Mookie Betts’ first-inning single and later broke a 1-1 tie with the homer in the fifth. It’s his second straight 20-homer season, as he finished with 27 last year. He’s not a sure thing to surpass that total this year, but he is going to cruise past his mark of 86 RBI from last year; he’s tied for ninth in the majors with 77 right now.
Kyle Tucker

LAD Right Fielder #23

Kyle Tucker is in right field and hitting cleanup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is shaking things up by moving Freddie Freeman up to the second spot in the order with Andy Pages following and Tucker in the cleanup spot. Max Muncy and Mookie Betts remain in the middle of the lineup with Teoscar Hernández on the bench.
Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages drove in three of the Dodgers’ four runs Sunday night against the Red Sox.

Pages had a two-run single after Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked in the second and an RBI double in the seventh. That brings his season total to 74 RBI, which ranks sixth in the majors.

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages went 3-for-4 and hit his 18th homer Wednesday in the victory over the Mariners.

Emerson Hancock struck out Shohei Ohtani to begin the bottom of the first, but Pages immediately followed with a homer. He later picked up another RBI on an infield single in the fourth. That puts Pages up to 71 RBI on the season. He’s tied for eighth in the majors there, even though he’s mostly hit second and seventh.
Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages went 3-for-4 with a homer versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Pages immediately followed Shohei Ohtani’s leadoff homer in the first with a second solo shot. It was his 17th homer of the year, though just his second in a month, and his 65th RBI, which is tied for eighth in the majors.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s soiree against the Angels.

It’s a planned day off for both Betts and Andy Pages, so no need for fantasy managers to worry here. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at shortstop and will bat eighth against Angels’ right-hander Jose Soriano.

Carson Whisenhunt will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after leaving his start Monday against the Reds with elbow pain.

Whisenhunt said this felt different than the elbow sprain that cost him the final two months of 2023, and he’s hoping it might just be a pinched nerve. "[I’ve] never really felt anything like this,” he said after the game. “I don’t really know kind of where to be at with it. So just kind of play it by ear and get the MRI tomorrow and then go from there.” The Giants could recall Matt Wilkinson if Whisenhunt goes on the IL.

Nick Gonzales went 2-for-5 and singled in the automatic runner in the top of the 12th as the Pirates outlasted the Padres 3-2 on Monday.

Gonzales’s hit resulted in only run in the three extra innings. There were three bunts, though, none of which worked out. The first two, from the Padres, were both popped up and the initial one resulted in a double play. The last, from the Pirates after Gonzales’s go-ahead hit, saw the lead runner get retired. Gonzales also walked and stole a base in the contest. He’s fourth in the majors with his .308 average.

Braxton Ashcraft limited the Padres to one run over six innings in a no-decision Monday.

Ashcraft appeared to get through six scoreless, only to lose the shutout on a balk. He then left with a one-run lead that failed to hold up. It’s unclear how many more starts Ashcraft, who has now thrown 39 more innings than his previous career high, will make with the Pirates nearly out of contention at this point, but he’s still thriving, having allowed exactly one run in three straight starts. He’s in line to face the Cardinals on Sunday, but the Pirates have Thursday and Monday off if they want to give him some extra time.

Yohan Ramírez struck out the side in the 12th for his second save Monday against the Padres.

Ramírez had given up five runs in three innings since returning from the paternity list, but he came up big tonight in protecting a one-run lead. He did get a little lucky with the last pitch, though; Dustin Harris swung at a sweeper down and in and then had it go off his foot and to the backstop. If it didn’t hit him, he likely would have reached on a strikeout/wild pitch.

Robbie Ray allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings Monday versus the Pirates.

Both runs came in the sixth. Esmerlyn Valdez led off the inning with a homer. Ray then walked Bryan Reynolds and struck out Oneil Cruz before being pulled in favor of Bradgley Rodriguez, who surrendered a go-ahead double to score the inherited runner. Ray struck out five and allowed just two hard-hit balls other than the homer. He’ll likely face the Rays on Sunday.

Brandon Lowe went 0-for-5 and struck out four times against the Padres on Monday.

As terrific as Lowe has been against righties, the Pirates still probably would have been better off platooning him all year. He was retired four times by lefties tonight, leaving him with a .208 average, a .329 slugging percentage and a 64/11 K/BB in 173 plate appearances versus southpaws on the season.

Kaelen Culpepper went 4-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI against the Athletics on Monday.

Culpepper didn’t have any extra-base hits, but the four singles raised his average to .340 in the first 50 at-bats of his big league career. He offers enough upside to be considered in mixed leagues, though he’s not necessarily a must-add player.

Jeffrey Springs allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Twins on Monday.

Springs gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out three. He fell to 3-12 with the loss. Springs pitched slightly better in his last start, but overall he hasn’t looked particularly sharp in either of his two starts since returning from the injured list. He has a 6.08 ERA. Springs isn’t a recommended fantasy option in his next starts against the Orioles at home on Sunday.
