That slump had prompted manager Dave Roberts to acknowledge Sunday that moving Pages out of the lineup was "still on the table." During that night's workout, Kiké Hernández also spent a noticeable amount of time fielding fly balls in center. However, the Dodgers decided against the change for now, keeping Hernández in left, Pages in the No. 9 spot playing center, and their only other outfield alternative, Alex Call, on the bench.

Bam Adebyo has been one of the Miami Heat's most disappointing offensive players this season. If he can't break out of this early-season slump soon, it's only going to raise more questions about his standing as the Heat's franchise player.
