Andy

Pages

Pages had a three-run homer off Lance McCullers Jr. in the third, a two-run blast off Jason Alexander in the fifth and then a solo shot off catcher Cesar Salazar in the ninth. He joins teammate Max Muncy as the only players with three-homer games this year. It’s his third career mulithomer game, and he bested his previous high for RBI by two. He’s batting .336 with eight homers on the season.

Pages had a run-scoring single in the fourth, and two innings later he bashed a two-run double to give the Dodgers a 10-4 cushion. The 25-year-old outfielder has already driven in 24 runs, and even with some slowing down over the last week, he’s still slashing an outstanding .337/.383/.551 on the campaign.

It’s an extremely rare day off for Pages with Alex Call taking over in center field. The 25-year-old fantasy standout has been an extremely impactful fantasy contributor this season, slashing .370/.416/.605 with five homers, 21 RBI and four steals in 22 games. He leads the majors in both hits (30) and RBI during that span.

Pages continues his hot April with a three-run shot in the third inning off David Peterson that gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead and Pages his fifth homer of the campaign. As it was his only hit, his batting average dropped to .417 to pair with a .453 on-base percentage that also plummeted. Obviously Pages is due for some regression, but the 25-year-old is clearly talented enough to have some hot runs throughout the 2026 campaign.

That’s a nice turnaround after Pages, the NL Player of the Week last week, went 3-for-12 with six strikeouts in the three-game series against the Blue Jays. All three of his balls in play tonight were hit at least 100 mph, though his homer, a 396-foot shot to center, would have left just nine of the 30 ballparks, according to Statcast.

The reigning NL Player of the Week saw his hitting streak snapped at eight games. He’s fanned nine times in his last four games after totaled four in his first eight games.

Pages has been absolutely scorching at the plate to start the season. He continued on Saturday with a base hit, stolen base, and run scored in the third inning before slugging a three-run homer off Brad Lord in the fifth. Pages added a base hit in the ninth and is 15-for-30 with a 1.349 OPS through eight games.

Pages was responsible for Los Angeles’ lone extra-base hit of the contest until Freddie Freeman went deep with two outs in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old center fielder has been one of the early bright spots for the Dodgers, hitting .429 (9-for-21) with one homer and five RBI in six games, which is a pleasant surprise since he looked completely lost at the dish during last year’s postseason run.

The Dodgers entered the home half of the fifth inning facing a two-run deficit until Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez set the table with a couple of singles. Pages then followed with a mammoth 400-foot (100.6 mph EV) three-run shot that changed the entire complexion of the game and put the Dodgers ahead to stay. He also singled in the eighth inning. Pages appears to be back in the Dodgers’ good graces after being benched down the stretch of their run to the World Series.

Throughout the spring, the second base position had been framed as a platoon situation between Santiago Espinal and Alex Freeland, so naturally it’s Rojas who gets the start there on Opening Day. It’s likely just manager Dave Roberts respecting and giving the nod to the 37-year-old veteran for Opening Day. Here’s the full lineup against Zac Gallen on Opening Day: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Kyle Tucker (RF), Mookie Betts (SS), Freddie Freeman (1B), Will Smith (C), Max Muncy (3B), Teoscar Hernandez (LF), Andy Pages (CF) and Miguel Rojas (2B).
