Dodgers Send Andy Pages Message After Incident With Padres Manager
Dodgers Send Andy Pages Message After Incident With Padres Manager originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages found himself at the center of a brewing rivalry this week after a tense exchange with San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt. The incident occurred during Monday's 6-3 Dodgers win, when Padres starter Dylan Cease hit Pages with a 97.7 mph fastball in the fourth inning. Advertisement Pages, who had doubled in his previous at-bat, stared down Cease before taking his base, prompting both dugouts to stir, though no physical altercation followed. After the game, Pages told reporters he believed the pitch was intentional, possibly in response to the Padres suspecting he was relaying signs from second base. 'I don't feel like my reaction was right,' he said in Spanish, via ESPN's Alden González, 'but adrenaline took over for me in that moment.' Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages (44)Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images Shildt, visibly frustrated, was caught on camera shouting, 'Who the [expletive] do you think you are?'—a remark that added fuel to the Dodgers-Padres rivalry. Advertisement On Tuesday, the 24-year-old outfielder responded by going 4-for-4 with two home runs, two singles, and three RBIs in the Dodgers' 8–6 win over San Diego—his first career multi-homer game in the regular season. Following the performance, the Dodgers' posted a photo of Pages with the caption: 'A perfect night at the plate for Andy.' Pages is now slashing .293/.332/.513 with 15 home runs, 49 RBIs, and six stolen bases through 70 games in his second MLB season. With the series still underway and both teams battling for position in the NL West—the Dodgers holding a 45-29 record while the Padres, at 39-33, trail five games back—this battle adds another layer to one of baseball's most heated rivalries.

Why was Dave Roberts ejected after Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr. were hit? (Image via Getty) A tense moment erupted in Los Angeles on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, when Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was ejected after benches were warned. This followed star Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers getting hit by a pitch, just one inning after Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit and a day after Andy Pages took a pitch too. The clay held tension and everyone watched closely. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ejected after Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr. both get hit by pitches In the fourth inning at Dodger Stadium on June 17, 2025, Shohei Ohtani was hit by a pitch as he came up to bat, one day after Fernando Tatis Jr. of the Padres had been plunked in the same inning and both benches were warned. The next day, Andy Pages was hit by a pitch. Later in the inning, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was kicked out for expressing disapproval of the decisions. Roberts had to exit the dugout; Ohtani did not leave the game and remained in. The Padres and Dodgers teams were visibly tense during the rest of the game. Tensions rose after Fernando Tatis Jr. and Andy Pages were hit as well Andy Pages was struck by a pitch the day before as well. Pages was hurt at Petco Park on June 16, 2025, during the Dodgers-Padres game. From admirers and experts, that incident started internet discussion and helped to make the program even more well-liked. Emotions soared next Fernando Tatis Jr., who was struck.

Dodgers vs. Padres: L.A.'s starting rotation carousel continues as Dylan Cease, Manny Machado stand out for San Diego
The Dodgers and Padres squared off this week in their first of four 2025 regular-season series and the first rematch since the Southern California foes faced off in last year's NLDS. With the Dodgers holding a one-game lead on both the Padres and Giants atop the NL West entering the series, the stakes were readily apparent. The back-and-forth series opener — an 8-7 Dodgers victory in 10 innings — was an appropriate reintroduction to this rivalry, offering a much more elevated and dramatic contest than what you'd expect on a Monday in June. The second game Tuesday was far less compelling, as L.A.'s bullpen game went awry in a hurry and San Diego cruised to an 11-1 blowout. A more competitive atmosphere resumed in Wednesday's rubber match, with a three-run homer from Teoscar Hernandez in the sixth providing the necessary cushion for a 5-2 Dodgers victory. Here are four takeaways from the first edition of Dodgers-Padres in 2025: Dodgers' rotation carousel continues The ever-evolving enigma that is the Dodgers' rotation provided its latest round of plot twists this week. Dustin May, one of just two L.A. starters along with Yoshinobu Yamamoto to take the ball every turn through the rotation, scuffled Monday, surrendering six runs across five innings and mustering just one strikeout, tied for a season low. On Tuesday, veteran reliever Lou Trivino became the 14th pitcher to start a game for the Dodgers this season, putting Los Angeles atop a leaderboard on which it surely would prefer not to be featured. Sure, Trivino took the ball as an opener, but his joining the list of L.A. starters is emblematic of what the Dodgers have been navigating with pitcher injuries this season — for the second year in a row. Last season, the Dodgers used 17 starting pitchers, which was tied with the White Sox and Brewers for third-most in baseball, behind only the Marlins (20) and Angels (18). Advertisement In Game 3, the Dodgers pivoted from their originally announced starter, Justin Wrobleski, and gave the ball to another rookie in Ben Casparius, whom, manager Dave Roberts revealed before the game, the organization is considering stretching out as a starter to help cover the missing innings on the injured list. Casparius has excelled as a reliever since getting called up late last season, including in multi-inning stints, but he was developed as a starter in the minors, making him an ideal candidate to transition back to a rotation role. Casparius allowed one run across four innings Wednesday; his 54 pitches were tied for the second-most he has thrown in a game this season. Of course, the Dodgers' most important developments on the mound this week did not take place during any of the games at Petco Park, but rather, in the hours before Tuesday's contest. The Dodgers received a pair of encouraging updates on two of their highest-profile pitchers working their way back: Blake Snell, who signed a $182 million free-agent contract over the winter and made two starts before going on the injured list due to a shoulder issue, and Shohei Ohtani, who hasn't pitched in a big-league game since Aug. 23, 2023, but has 23 home runs as the Dodgers' DH. You know, those guys. Snell threw his first bullpen session since April on Tuesday and came out of it feeling great, seemingly marking the first substantial step toward his return to the rotation amidst what has been a frustrating and prolonged absence from his new team. Then Ohtani participated in another live bullpen session and looked sharp enough to warrant an intriguing suggestion from Roberts that the international sensation could perhaps resume his two-way exploits for the Dodgers before the All-Star break. Advertisement It's still not clear when Snell or Ohtani will take the mound again in an official capacity, but any notable progress toward their returns counts as major news for L.A. as the team continues to search for enough innings on a nearly daily basis. Dylan Cease delivers his best start of the season With ample run support from the Padres' bats against the Dodgers' wayward bullpen game, Dylan Cease didn't need to be perfect to secure the win in Tuesday's 11-1 victory. Nevertheless, the 29-year-old right-hander turned in an especially excellent outing. He struck out a season-high 11 across seven scoreless innings while allowing just three hits, albeit with a season-high five free passes. With some of the nastiest stuff in the league, Cease has been the epitome of effectively wild for much of his career, with his ability to rack up whiffs counterbalancing his occasionally shoddy control. Tuesday represented the good version of this genre of pitching, as Cease coaxed a ridiculous 24 swing-and-misses from Dodgers hitters to stifle run-scoring opportunities even when the walks enabled some traffic on the bases. Cease is one of just two pitchers to tally at least 24 whiffs in a game multiple times this season; Tarik Skubal is the other. Advertisement It was a refreshing showing from Cease, whose value to San Diego so far this season has been rooted more in durability than dominance. A complete clunker on April 8, in which he allowed nine runs in four innings in Sacramento, has sullied his overall season statline — remove that start, and Cease's ERA would be 3.39, not 4.28 — but we also haven't seen that many impressive pitching lines from the righty this year. Tuesday was Cease's first scoreless outing of the season, which makes this showing against a stellar Dodgers lineup very encouraging. He remains a pivotal character for the Padres in their quest to dethrone the Dodgers atop the NL West and make serious noise in October. And on an individual level, each Cease outing carries weight considering his status as one of the best starting pitchers scheduled to hit free agency this winter. For the first month of the season, Fernando Tatis Jr. appeared to be the likeliest Padre to be included in NL MVP discussions, with his power, speed and defense contributing heavily to San Diego's success. But Tatis has quietly faded recently, while Machado has reemerged as the undisputed face of the franchise and is once again producing like one of the best players in baseball, right when it seemed his decline might've begun. Advertisement Over the previous two seasons, Machado's 6.9 fWAR and 118 wRC+ ranked eighth and seventh, respectively, among third basemen. Those were respectable marks but hardly commensurate with the MVP-caliber production he demonstrated from 2020 to '22, when Machado's 14.2 fWAR and 140 wRC+ ranked second among third basemen, behind only Jose Ramirez. This year, Machado has reclaimed his rightful spot in the inner circle of hot corner excellence, once again ranking second in WAR behind Ramirez and currently boasting a 154 wRC+, which would be the best mark of his celebrated career. With two hits Monday, plus another three hits and five RBI on Tuesday, Machado has 24 multi-hit games this season; only Aaron Judge, Jacob Wilson, Freddie Freeman and Ramirez have more. It took a few years for the Padres to start winning after Machado's landmark signing in 2019, but there is no doubt that his steady and constant presence at third base has fundamentally defined this golden era of Padres baseball. That reality is as true as ever in 2025. Advertisement Where does Michael Conforto fit on this Dodgers team? 'There's no such thing as a bad one-year deal,' the saying goes, but it's difficult to deny that Michael Conforto has been a downright disappointment since joining the Dodgers on a one-year, $17 million pact this past offseason. A strong first couple of weeks suggested that the veteran outfielder could provide a boost to the bottom of the L.A. lineup, but he faded fast: Conforto registered as many extra-base hits in his first eight games as a Dodger (6) as he did over his next 52, with his 80 wRC+ ranking 151st out of 174 hitters with at least 200 plate appearances. This extended cold streak serves as valuable context for what we saw from Conforto this week against the Padres, as the series offered reason to be modestly optimistic about Conforto's role moving forward. Advertisement On Monday, Conforto did not start against Padres starter Nick Pivetta, marking just the second time this season that he didn't start against a right-handed pitcher. Instead, the Dodgers started Andy Pages in left field, with rookie Hyeseong Kim in center and Tommy Edman at second. With the emergence of Kim, the return of the versatile Edman and Pages proving that he belongs in the lineup every day, the Dodgers have three seemingly superior options to Conforto at their disposal. Then again, Conforto was right back in the lineup Tuesday and Wednesday, and he launched his fourth homer of the season in the series finale, so perhaps it's too early to assume the Dodgers are ready to relegate Conforto to bench bat duties. Still, these four players and how they fit into three lineup spots (LF, CF, 2B) are certainly a roster-construction subplot worth monitoring.

Dodgers make one thing clear about Shohei Ohtani's pitching return timeline after latest step
The Dodgers still don't seem in a rush with Shohei Ohtani, even as he makes steady progress toward returning to a big league mound Ohtani threw a third simulated game at Petco Park on Tuesday as he works his way back from his 2023 elbow surgery. Despite taking an important step, Dodgers manager David Roberts didn't want anyone to raise their expectations too high, telling reporters the chances of Ohtani pitching in a game before the All-Star break was 'north of zero.' 3 Shohei Ohtani rips a single during the fifth inning of the Dodgers-Padres game on June 10, 2025 in San Diego. Getty Images 'It's tempting,' Roberts said. 'I'm sure Shohei is tempted to just rip the Band-Aid off and get into a big league game, but I think we're doing a good job of trying to be patient.' During this outing, the righty from Japan threw 44 pitches in three innings of work. According to pitching coach Mark Prior, his fastball sat in the mid-90s. By the end of the session, Ohtani had six strikeouts. 'You start getting close to 44, you start getting into the 60- and 70-pitch range, then you can start envisioning and dreaming about being in a game,' Prior told reporters, according to 'Because then you know that he has the volume under him to go out there and at least take down multiple innings in a real game.' This latest outing for Ohtani marks a significant increase in workload. In the last simulated game, his pitch count only reached 29. Roberts is not going to push the superstar to the mound as quickly as possible. 'It certainly doesn't have to be a full buildup,' Roberts told reporters, 'because anything he can give us is certainly additive.' Nevertheless, the Dodgers might need Ohtani back on the mound due to the state of their pitching staff. Los Angeles has not had luck keeping their starters healthy this season. Right now, they have eight starting pitchers on the injured list. That has led to the Dodgers having only 316 innings recorded by starting pitchers, which is the fourth-lowest in the MLB. Star Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki are among those on the IL. 3 Shohei Ohtani hits a foul ball during the first inning of the Dodgers-Padres game on June 10, 2025 in San Diego. Getty Images 3 Shohei Ohtani pitching a simulated game in New York IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Luckily for the Dodgers, Snell threw his first bullpen session since being injured in April, Glasnow threw his third bullpen session, and Sasaki is continuing to do pitch and catch. If the Dodgers' starting rotation can return to full health and add a fresh Ohtani, that could make the rotation scary again.
