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: Homers again Wednesday
Rotowire
Pages went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 6-5 win against Washington.
Pages' long ball came at a crucial point in the contest, as his seventh-inning solo shot tied the game 5-5. It was the second homer in as many days for the second-year outfielder, who did not go deep in any of his first 11 contests of the campaign. Pages is still slashing a meager .171/.306/.341 on the season, but he's gone 4-for-11 with the pair of home runs over his past three games.

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: Getting first day off
Rotowire
Pages is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Tommy Edman will pick up the start in center field in place of Pages, who had been included in the lineup in each of the Dodgers' first 11 games of the season. The Dodgers aren't yet prepared to the pull the plug on Pages as an everyday player, but he's likely on a shorter leash after slashing .118/.268/.147 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate over his first 41 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Starting in Tokyo Series opener
Rotowire
Pages will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Cubs in Tokyo.
The Dodgers optioned Hyeseong Kim to Triple-A last week, paving the way for Pages to start against lefty Shota Imanaga in the regular-season opener, with Tommy Edman at second base. Pages hit .357/.396/.520 against left-handed pitching last regular season compared to .213/.277/.371 against right-handed pitching. It remains to be seen just how much he will play against righties to begin the 2025 campaign.
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.
