The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a major setback with the injury to Andy Pagés, who fractured his left hand after being hit by a pitch during the team’s 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cuban outfielder had to leave the game and is expected to be placed on the injured list.
The injury comes at an important point in Pagés’ season. He is enjoying a strong campaign and was selected to his first All-Star Game. Through 128 games, he has recorded 21 home runs and 80 RBIs, numbers that highlight his importance to Los Angeles’ offense.

Despite the setback, Dave Roberts said the injury is not expected to end Pagés’ season. The Dodgers manager estimates that the outfielder could return in approximately four to five weeks, potentially giving him enough time to participate in the final stretch of the regular season and the playoffs.
How long will Andy Pagés be out?
He is expected to miss around four or five weeks, although his recovery will determine the exact date of his return.
The Dodgers will have to reorganize their outfield while waiting to get one of their key offensive contributors back on the field.
