Cuban-born player Andy Pagés will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers' active roster, the team's manager, Dave Roberts, said today.

Pagés, who suffered a fracture in his left hand when he was hit by a pitch of more than 100 miles per hour from Phillies starter Bubba Chandler on August 21, will return in the matchup between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres scheduled for this Tuesday.

During his recovery process, he underwent the insertion of a compression screw in his left hand (minor surgery) to try to speed up the healing process.

Before his injury, the native of the Cuban province of Pinar del Río boasted a promising .272 offensive average, with 25 doubles, 21 home runs and 80 runs batted in, numbers that placed him among the leaders in several categories.

The reigning World Series champions are looking to finish among the top two places in the National League, to avoid the Wild Card Series in their bid to fight to maintain their hegemony in big-league baseball.
