Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages won NL Player of the Week for his showings in the Dodgers’ last two series.

Across the Dodgers’ series against the Washington Nationals and the Cleveland Guardians, Pages went 14-for-24 with two home runs and seven RBIs, recording five multi-hit games in six chances. The third-year center fielder has caught eyes around the league for his staggering performances so far this season, and for very good reason.

How Did Andy Pages Get Back on Track After 2025?

The 25-year-old struggled during the back half of the 2025 season as well as the postseason—posting a historically bad October where he had just four hits in 51 at-bats—but didn’t let his previous results get to him heading into 2026.

“What happened last year is in the past,” Pages said. “It can happen to anyone. It’s not going to hold me back mentally this year. I feel good right now.”

Manager Dave Roberts also commented on Pages’ improvement following his Opening Day performance, during which he hit a three-run home run and had two hits.

“(This) is certainly a big confidence boost,” Roberts said. “Coming into this spring, he was in great shape, and his mindset was in a good spot. I’m sure that fire, that fuel, to not relinquish his position later in the season is something that motivates him.”

What Role Will Andy Pages Play for the Rest of the Season?

Pages, as expected, has been the Dodgers’ center fielder since the beginning of the regular season, and will surely retain the spot if he continues posting these kinds of results.

He has already moved up a couple of spots in the lineup—beginning the year at No. 8 and starting Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the No. 6 spot—and will look to continue doing so throughout the season.

Pages’ almost definitely won’t be able to sustain his numbers over the course of the last week throughout the remainder of the season, but if he is even half as good for the rest of the year the Dodgers will have another formidable bat for their three-peat campaign.

The center fielder will look to continue his hot streak against the Blue Jays in the series opener, which comes Monday at 4:05 p.m. PT.

Do you think Andy Pages deserved the NL Player of the Week?
