Andy Pages fractured his hand after being struck by a pitch and is expected to miss at least four weeks, per the club's announcement.

The sequence moved quickly from bad to worse over the course of the evening. Pages initially left the game with what the official team account described as a left hand contusion following a hit-by-pitch — the pitch registered at 99 to 100.2 mph depending on the read. Manager Dave Roberts, quoted by beat reporter Fabian Ardaya, confirmed the broken hand diagnosis and put the absence at approximately four weeks.

What we don't know yet

An IL placement is expected but has not yet been formally announced. The specific timeline beyond "at least four weeks" remains unconfirmed, and no further procedural details have been disclosed.

The broader picture

The injury lands at an already complicated moment for the Dodgers' roster. Catcher Will Smith took live batting practice for the first time since his own injury, a step toward a return — but Pages' absence adds a new gap in the outfield while that process continues.

Watch for a corresponding roster move from the club as the next concrete development.
