Dodgers Activate Roki Sasaki and Andy Pages for Final Stretch
The Los Angeles Dodgers have received a major boost at a crucial point of the 2026 regular season, activating pitcher Roki Sasaki and outfielder Andy Pages from the injured list ahead of their series against the San Diego Padres.
The news, reported by Dodgers Nation, gives Los Angeles two important reinforcements as the regular season enters its final stretch. Both players are now back on the active roster and available to contribute.
To make room, the Dodgers optioned pitchers Emmet Sheehan and Eliezer Alfonzo to Triple-A. The corresponding moves cleared the necessary roster spots for Sasaki and Pages to return.
Sasaki's activation adds another option to the Dodgers' pitching staff, while Pages provides additional depth and talent in the outfield. Their returns come at a particularly important time as Los Angeles prepares for the final games of the regular season.
With the postseason approaching, getting key players back from the injured list can significantly expand a team's available options. For the Dodgers, the return of Sasaki and Pages adds depth on both sides of the ball as they enter the final stretch of the 2026 campaign.
Now, all eyes will be on how the Dodgers deploy both players against the Padres and throughout the closing weeks of the regular season.
