When the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to start utility infielder Hyeseong Kim in the minor leagues to begin the season, it set off a chain reaction that impacted the rest of the roster.
Kim had been expected to start at second base, but his absence prompted manager Dave Roberts to shift Tommy Edman from center field to second. That vacancy sparked competition for the starting center field job, and ahead of Opening Day in Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs, Roberts hinted that Andy Pages could be in the lineup.
Dave Roberts told our @DMAC_LA that the Dodgers haven't decided who their Opening Day starting CF will be but highlights Andy Pages for a productive exhibition game:
"Andy's had a very good camp… with Imanaga going on Opening Day, there's a chance he'll be in the lineup.
