The Los Angeles Dodgers lost Game 2 of the NLDS to the Atlanta Braves. The team struggled at the plate in the game, which has led to speculation that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will make some changes to his lineup.
One question that Roberts has to answer is what to do with Andy Pages. Pages is 0-for-7 with four strikeouts and one walk so far in the series. It is also not the first time Pages has struggled in the playoffs. After going just one-for-13 in the first three games of the World Series, Pages was shown the bench. He would get two more at-bats in the series, going 0-for-3. In the 2025 playoffs, Pages was just four-for-51 at the plate, with one RBI and 11 strikeouts.
Still, it does not seem that Roberts will be taking Pages out of the lineup, though, per Katie Woo of The Athletic.

Roberts may be forced to make a move if Pages continues to struggle. Chris Sale will be on the mound for the Braves in Game 3 of the series on Tuesday night. Pages is 0 for 5 all time against Sale. Meanwhile, Tyler Mahle could be on the mound for the Braves in Game 4, and Pages is 0-for-2 with a walk against him.
First pitch between the Dodgers and Braves is set for 6 pm ET on Tuesday night.
