  "account": "Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages is set to miss four weeks of action due to a left hand fracture, as confirmed by manager Dave Roberts. The injury occurred when Pages was hit by a 99 mph fastball in the fifth inning of the bottom of the third inning. Despite initially playing through the pain, Pages left the game in the fifth inning and was replaced by Kike Hernandez. The initial assessment was a contusion, but Pages later confirmed the fracture on X-rays. While the surgery remains uncertain, it is unlikely to impact the timeline of his return. The Dodgers are focusing on finding a suitable replacement in center field, with Tommy Edman and Kike Hernandez being the top contenders. Additionally, Alek Thomas, who is currently hitting .296 with a .855 OPS, will join the roster upon Pages' absence.",
