Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages suffered a fractured left hand after being hit by a pitch from Bubba Chandler during Friday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The incident occurred in the third inning, with Pages taking first base before advancing to third base as the inning concluded. He was later replaced by Kiké Hernández for the fifth inning.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts informed that X-rays confirmed the hand fracture. While acknowledging the injury might not be season-ending, Roberts expressed confidence that Pages could return earlier than anticipated, given his resilience and the remaining time in the season. Roberts also suggested that surgery might not significantly impact Pages' recovery timeline.
Utility player Tommy Edman, who secured the winning single in the 10th inning, might assume some center field responsibilities in Pages' absence. Pages has been an impressive performer, batting .272 with 25 home runs and 80 RBIs and earning his first All-Star selection of the season.
