Dodgers' Andy Pages: Plates three runs in win
Rotowire
Pages went 2-for-3 with a run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 victory versus Colorado.
Pages knocked in a pair of runs with a first-inning single and added another RBI on a single in the fifth. The second-year outfielder had been in need of a big performance, as he came into Wednesday in a 1-for-12 drought at the plate over his previous four games. Pages is still batting a meager .175 on the season, though the Dodgers have practiced patience with him, giving him a near-everyday spot in the lineup.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Launches first long ball
Rotowire
Pages went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.
Pages was the only Dodgers player with multiple hits in the defeat, and he accounted for one of the team's two runs with a solo blast in the fifth inning. It's been a rough start to the campaign for the young outfielder -- even after Tuesday's performance, Pages is slashing a paltry .162/.311/.270. He's also had his share of defensive struggles in the outfield, but Los Angeles has mostly stuck with Pages, as he's appeared in 12 of the team's 13 games so far.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Candidate to start in CF
Rotowire
Pages may begin the season as the Dodgers' starting center fielder following Hyeseong Kim's option to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Pages hasn't had an outstanding spring, slashing just .214/.313/.321 with four RBI and three runs scored across 32 plate appearances. However, the demotion of Kim to Triple-A could force Tommy Edman to move to second base, which would leave Pages as the best remaining option to cover center field. Another possibility would be allowing Miguel Rojas to take over as the Dodgers' primary second baseman while Edman remains in the outfield and Pages on the bench, though manager Dave Roberts hasn't tipped his hand as to his preferred alignment.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Starting in center
Rotowire

With Rojas not expected to return until Sunday, expect Pages to find increased playing time in the final few games of the season.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Call-up on tap
Rotowire
The Dodgers are expected to recall Pages from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Pages was optioned to Oklahoma City on Aug. 19 after spending four months with the Dodgers. In the majors this season, he has slashed .246/.305/.388 with nine home runs and 36 RBI across 394 plate appearances. During his upcoming stint with the Dodgers, Pages is unlikely to serve as much more than a short-side platoon player or fourth outfielder.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Reaches base four times Sunday
Rotowire
Pages went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks and a run in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh.
Pages appears to be perking up at the plate again, slashing .389/.522/.611 with four doubles over his past six games. Prior to that, he endured an ice-cold nine-game stretch during which he went 3-for-31with 10 strikeouts. It's no surprise that the rookie has had his share of ups and downs, but Pages has maintained a semi-regular spot in the Dodgers' lineup, starting four of the past six games. However, his playing time could be impacted by Mookie Betts' expected return from a hand injury Monday, as Betts is slated to move back to right field after logging most of his time in the infield prior to his injury.

Rotowire
Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Notches first big-league steal
Rotowire
Pages went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win against the Padres.
Pages withstood a Padres review challenge to pick up his first theft as a major-leaguer following an eighth-inning single. The 23-year-old hasn't been a big base-stealer as a pro, topping out at seven thefts in the minors, though he does have 83rd percentile sprint speed, per Statcast. Pages continues to see everyday playing time for the Dodgers, but he's tailed off a bit of late with a .158/.261/.158 slash line and 34.8 percent strikeout rate over his past six games.
