Andy Pages - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Dodgers have promoted outfield prospect Andy Pages to the big leagues following a white-hot start to his season with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The No. 94 prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, is the team's No. 3-ranked prospect and also its No. 1-ranked outfield prospect.

All Pages has done so far this season is hit .371 with five homers and a 1.146 OPS across 15 games and 73 trips to the plate with Oklahoma City so far this season. His 2023 season was cut short by a season-ending tear in the labrum of his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but he put himself on the radar with a .284 average alongside three homers and seven stolen bases across 33 games at Double-A prior to getting hurt in his Triple-A debut. He bashed 26 long balls in his age-21 season at Double-A Tulsa in 2022 as well.

Let's combine the prospect news of the morning.

It's unclear how the Dodgers plan to use Pages, but with Jason Heyward sidelined, he will get plenty of playing time in the outfield, especially with Chris Taylor's immense early-season struggles. He can be used as a short-side platoon to the lefty-swinging James Outman in center field versus left-handed pitching while moving to an outfield corner against righties. The club didn't call him up to sit on the bench, that's for sure.

Pages is a high-upside prospect with a wealth of raw power, a patient approach, and some speed to boot. He should be considered in any and all fantasy formats from the get-go.
