According to the Fielding Bible, only the Chicago Cubs\u2019 Pete Crow-Armstrong (13) among MLB center fielders had more Defensive Runs Saved than Pages (12).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s enough to get a guy thinking about the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do. I think last year at this point in time it was also on his mind and he pressed a little for that and it didn\u2019t go well,\u201d Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. \u201cSo hopefully he can keep doing what he\u2019s doing and let it take care of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A year ago, Pages entered July with numbers very similar to his current statistics \u2013 a .291 average, .828 OPS and 16 home runs. It will be harder to ignore him this year, but Roberts admits Pages could get overlooked in the Dodgers\u2019 star-filled lineup \u2013 even if those stars have largely underperformed this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s easy to be overlooked on this team, in this lineup,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cAnd also, you include a guy that doesn\u2019t self-promote at all. Doesn\u2019t say a whole lot. So he probably doesn\u2019t get that same fanfare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pages has ascended to a more prominent spot in the Dodgers\u2019 lineup. He made his sixth start batting second on Monday against the Diamondbacks after touching every spot from third through eighth before this.<\/p>\n<p>Pages said he tries to \u201cdo the same thing, try to have good at-bats\u201d regardless of where he\u2019s at in the lineup. But he acknowledged that \u201cpitchers look at where you are in the lineup\u201d and build a game plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis year, I think the secret is out as far as game planning for him,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThey try to crowd him. He\u2019s done a good job of staying away from that. They try to go up. He\u2019s managed that. They\u2019ve spun him and he\u2019s really hit that. So I think they are. But I still think he\u2019s got weapons to handle whatever approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pages has invested heavily in improving his plate discipline this season. That hasn\u2019t been shown in the statistics \u2013 he is swinging at a career-high 35.1% of pitches outside the strike zone this year (up from 33.2 last year). But Roberts said Pages has handled the move up in the batting order.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=11476\">Scott Pelley of \u201960 Minutes\u2019 accuses CBS News head Bari Weiss of \u2018murdering\u2019 the show, report says<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there were a couple attempts early in the year where I felt he came out of his approach as a hitter and it didn\u2019t go great,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThis time around I felt that he was in a better place to handle it. And I\u2019m seeing the same approach. He\u2019s staying within himself better this time around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd at the end of the day, I think he\u2019s earning five at-bats a night.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>GRATEROL SURGERY<\/h4>\n<p>Reliever Brusdar Graterol posted to his Instagram account from a hospital bed again. This time, Graterol had just undergone back surgery on Sunday. The surgery is likely to end Graterol\u2019s season before it even began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know God has better things in store for me,\u201d Graterol\u2019s post read. \u201cI am a warrior. I do not give up \u2013 I keep fighting. I love you all. This is not goodbye, it is \u2018see you soon.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graterol has not pitched in a major-league game since the 2024 World Series. He underwent shoulder surgery shortly after that and spent all of 2025 recovering. He experienced multiple setbacks and was slow to recover his velocity this spring. He finally went out on a minor-league rehabilitation assignment in May but made only four appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City before being shut down with a back injury.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old Graterol will be a free agent this winter.<\/p>\n<h4>DOUBLE DUTY<\/h4>\n<p>Roberts confirmed Monday that Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup at DH when he makes his next pitching start on Wednesday. Ohtani has hit a leadoff home run in each of his past two pitching starts.<\/p>\n<p>Since getting a day off following his pitching start against the San Francisco Giants on May 13, Ohtani has hit .386 (22 for 57) with five doubles, one triple, three home runs and 14 RBIs in 15 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s locked in on some things mechanically,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI think he\u2019s as fresh as he\u2019s been in awhile. His intent to use the big part of the field has helped. I think all of that has led to this nice run.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>UP NEXT<\/h4>\n<p>Dodgers (LHP Eric Lauer, 2-5, 5.95 ERA) at Diamondbacks (RHP Michael Soroka, 7-2, 3.25 ERA), Tuesday, 6:40 p.m., SportsNet LA, 570 AM<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=11474\">Pentagon bars journalists from its press office, saying it has become a \u2018classified space\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-Star voting will begin this week and Pages might be more deserving than the more well-known names around him in the lineup.
