dailyloe.com – The Los Angeles Dodgers’ high-powered offense has struggled significantly in the first week of the 2026 MLB season, ranking 20th in runs scored. This slump comes despite a roster filled with former MVPs and All-Stars. In contrast, young outfielder Andy Pages has emerged as the team’s most consistent hitter.
Through six games, the Dodgers were nearly shut out twice at home by Cleveland. Key stars at the top of the lineup all have batting averages below .200. The team’s overall OPS ranks just 14th in the league.
Andy Pages leads all Dodgers regulars with a stellar .429 batting average. He also tops the team in OPS among players with at least ten plate appearances. Pages recorded multi-hit games in all three contests against Cleveland.
First baseman Freddie Freeman acknowledged Pages’s hot start after a recent loss. Freeman stated that Pages has been hitting well since spring training. He added the rest of the offense aims to improve on the upcoming road trip.
The Dodgers began the year by sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks. Their early struggles highlight the unpredictable nature of baseball. Pages’s performance offers a positive development for the team moving forward.[]
