Dodgers face injury setback with Andy Pages' fractured hand ahead of playoffs

Andy Pages suffered a fractured hand in the Dodgers' 5-4 walk-off victory over the Pirates on August 21. The injury poses uncertainty for the team as they hope Pages can return in time for the playoffs, despite a potential recovery timeline of 4-5 weeks. Dodger manager Dave Roberts stated he expects Pages back for postseason play but emphasized the need to find a temporary center field replacement. Options include Kiké Hernández, who has struggled with injuries, and Tommy Edman, though he is typically used in other positions. The Dodgers will evaluate other potential call-ups from the minors as they strategize how to fill the void left by Pages.
