Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages is progressing in his rehabilitation after suffering a fractured left hand on Aug. 21. Reports confirm Pages has begun swinging a bat off a tee without experiencing pain, signaling a shift toward his eventual return to the lineup. The Dodgers have managed center field duties with Tommy Edman during his absence, which moved Alex Freeland into a starting role at second base. Freeland continues to struggle at the plate, maintaining a.223 batting average with limited offensive production since his September roster call-up. With two minor league options remaining, Freeland is expected to be optioned to Triple-A to accommodate the return of Pages. The organization looks to restore its primary defensive alignment once the center fielder is cleared for game action.
- •Andy Pages began hitting off a tee over the weekend without pain in his left hand.
- •Pages has 21 home runs and a.796 OPS in 128 games this season.
- •Alex Freeland has one hit in 14 plate appearances since his September recall.
- •The Dodgers are expected to demote Freeland once Pages is activated from the injured list.
