  "account": "Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages was struck by a pitch on his left hand during the third inning of a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. He immediately left the game and was replaced by Kiké Hernández to begin the fifth inning. Pages was checked on by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and a trainer upon exiting. The incident occurred when Pirates pitcher Bubba Chandler threw a pitch that hit Pages on the left hand. Pages had previously taken first base after being hit. He was hitting .272 with 25 home runs and 80 RBIs at the time of the injury. This marked his first All-Star selection of the season.",
