What a series for Pages; he had three hits in all three games, finishing 10-for-12 with three doubles to go along with the homer. He also homered against the Cubs both Tuesday and Wednesday. His OPS has climbed from .544 all of the way to .861 over the last week, and he might as well be tried in mixed leagues until he cools off.

A nice game for Pages after a defensive blunder Sunday preceded his first day off of the year Monday. He’s now at .162/.311/.270 for the season as he tries to hold off any challengers for his lineup spot.

It’s his first absence of the season. Tommy Edman is playing center field for the second time (Pages played left the previous time), and Miguel Rojas is in there at second. Pages is hitting just .118/.268/.147, and while defensive metrics don’t hate him in center, he does often look awkward out there. James Outman is off to a tough start in Triple-A, so he probably won’t be replacing Pages. The Dodgers do have options, though, and trying Hyeseong Kim at second, with Edman playing more center, could be a possibility (or even maybe just using Kim in center).
