Dodgers All-Star Andy Pages Suffers Hand Fracture, Out 4-6 Weeks

Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star center fielder Andy Pages will miss four to six weeks after suffering a fractured left hand. Pages was struck on the back of his hand by a 100.2 mph sinker from Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bubba Chandler during the third inning of Friday night's game at Dodger Stadium. Although he initially remained in the contest and advanced to third base, he was replaced by Kiké Hernández in the fifth inning. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed the fracture following X-rays, noting that the team is evaluating whether surgery is required. Pages, experiencing a breakout first All-Star campaign, is batting .272 with 25 home runs and 80 RBIs. The Dodgers secured a 5-4 victory in ten innings, extending their winning streak. Roberts stated the club will lean on internal utility options like Hernández and Tommy Edman to cover center field while maintaining stability during the stretch run.
