LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages was to make his major league debut against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night after being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Pages was listed in center field and batting seventh for the Dodgers, who had lost four of five. The 23-year-old Cuban was hitting .371 with five home runs and 15 RBIs in 15 games at Triple-A Oklahoma City after recovering from surgery last June to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
“It’s an exciting day for Andy,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He’s a good hitter. He’s got plus power.”
Dodgers outfielder Jason Heyward has been out since March 30 because of tightness in his lower back and players receiving at-bats in his absence have struggled. Kiké Hernández entered with a .189 average and Chris Taylor was at .031 and in an 0-for-28 slump.
