Pages went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels.
Pages is sizzling at the plate lately, and that's included a recent burst of power. He's homered three times over his last four games, and he's batting .281 (18-for-64) over 15 contests in May. Overall, the outfielder is enjoying a breakout in his second major-league season, batting .288 with an .847 OPS, nine homers, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored and five stolen bases over 43 games. Pages has filled in for Teoscar Hernandez (groin) in right field lately, but given his recent strong play, manager Dave Roberts will likely find a spot for Pages on a near-everyday basis even once Hernandez returns from the injured list.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Remains hot with another homer
Rotowire
Pages went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 19-2 rout of the Athletics.
The Dodgers' offense put on a show in the blowout victory, and Pages was in the middle of it, going yard to cap a seven-run third inning. That gave Los Angeles a 13-2 lead, and Pages was one of three regulars pulled before the top of the next frame in order to get some extra rest. The long ball was his second in as many games and continued a hot 10-game stretch at the plate during which the outfielder is slashing .349/.364/.581 with the two homers, 10 RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases.

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
Pages is in the lineup as the center fielder and is batting ninth Thursday against the Padres.

Rotowire
The Dodgers are expected to recall Pages from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

In the majors this season, he has slashed .246/.305/.388 with nine home runs and 36 RBI across 394 plate appearances.

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.

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.
