Dodgers bolster roster, return CF Andy Pages, RHP Roki Sasaki from IL
Andy Pages and Roki Sasaki returned from the injured list as the Dodgers trimmed the roster and kept playoff roles in focus.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers activated center fielder Andy Pages and right-hander Roki Sasaki from the injured list on Tuesday, ahead of a series against the San Diego Padres with major postseason implications.
- Pages had been sidelined since August 21 with a fractured hand, while Sasaki dealt with a finger blister since late August. Both absences forced the Dodgers to clear roster spots.
- In corresponding moves, the Dodgers optioned right-hander Emmet Sheehan and catcher Eliezer Alfonzo to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Sheehan, with a 4.57 ERA, is expected to join the National League Division Series roster.
- Manager Dave Roberts managed the roster shuffle as Los Angeles pursues a first-round bye in the MLB playoffs. The Dodgers hold a magic number of three to clinch that postseason position.
- The team plays two series before the playoffs begin next week. While Sasaki and Pages have returned, Shohei Ohtani remains on the 15-day injured list and is ineligible to be activated before Wednesday.
