Andy Pages fractures left hand after being hit by pitch

Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star center fielder Andy Pages has suffered a fracture to the back of his left hand. The injury occurred during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates when Pages was struck by a fastball exceeding 100 mph thrown by Bubba Chandler.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that Pages is expected to be sidelined for approximately four to five weeks. While surgery remains a possibility, Roberts indicated the injury is not expected to end Pages' season, expressing hope for a return before the postseason begins.

To address the vacancy in center field, the Dodgers are expected to recall Alek Thomas from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Other players, including Kiké Hernández and Tommy Edman, are also expected to provide coverage in the outfield during Pages' absence.
