The Dodgers are calling up top outfield prospect  , as first reported by Francys Romero ( ). The 23-year-old is already on L.A.s 40-man roster, so theyll only need to make a corresponding 26-man move, though its po sible his promotion still leads  Tommy Hunter Jersey to a 40-man move. Speculatively speaking, fellow outfielder  could be at risk with Pages ascension to the big leagues, and Trammell is a recent waiver claim whos out of minor league options.  Pages currently ranks as baseballs No. 94 overall prospect and No. 95 overall . He garnered additional top-100 fanfare heading into the 2023 season but saw his stock take a bit of a hit due to injury troubles; Pages 2023 campaign ended when he to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder in early June.  That injury came on the heels of Pages first promotion to the Triple-A level. He appeared in just one game with the Dodgers Oklahoma City affiliate but had turned in a stout .284/.430/.495 batting line in 142 Double-A plate appearances prior to that move up the minor league ladder. The righty-swinging Pages has obliterated Triple-A pitching in the early stages of the 2024 season, tallying 73 plate appearances and recording a .371/.452/.694 slash with five homers, three doubles, a triple, two steals, an 11% walk rate and a 17.8% strikeout rate.  Pages draws praise for his raw power  which couples nicely with a swing and approach geared for lifting the ball  and plate discipline. He can play all three outfield positions, though scouting reports at BA and MLB.com suggest he profiles best in a corner, where he has the speed and instincts to be a capable defender.  The Dodgers outfield currently features  in right, with a combination of  ,  ,  and the aforementioned Trammell rounding things out in the other two spots.  is currently on the injured list with a lower back i sue, though when healthy, he and Hernandez can be expected to roam the corners most days. Pages could potentially serve as a righty-hitting complement to Heyward and/or Outman, though it shouldnt come as a surprise if the Dodgers plan to get him more regular work than the short side of a platoon.  Given the timing of the promotion, Pages cant accrue a full year of big league service time in 2024  at least not solely by remaining on the roster. Because he was regarded as a top-100 prospect on multiple outlets, hed qualify for a full year of service time if he finishes in the top two in this years National League Rookie of the Year voting. Barring that  and pending future optional a signments bac to the minors, which are a firm po sibility  Pages will be controllable all the way through 2030. If hes in the big leagues to stay, hell be a surefire Super Two player whos eligible for arbitration four times, rather than the standard three, beginning in the 2026-27 offseason.  Drew Williamson Jersey
