Dodgers' Andy Pages leaves after left-hand hit

Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages exited Friday's game against the Pirates with a left-hand injury after being hit by a Bubba Chandler pitch in the third inning. He initially stayed in the game, stealing a glance at first base and later continuing as a baserunner before being replaced by Kiké Hernández in the fifth. Pages came into the game as an All-Star this season, batting about .272 with 20-25 homers and 80 RBIs, depending on the report. The injury raised concern for a possible fracture, with imaging expected to determine the extent of the damage. He remained hopeful during the immediate aftermath but ultimately left for evaluation after the hand injury. The situation is developing with no definitive prognosis yet.
