Miguel Rojas's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Los Angeles Dodgers exercised shortstop Miguel Rojas' $5 million club option for the 2025 season on Saturday. Although Rojas finished the team's World Series championship season battling a groin injury, the 2024 campaign was a very successful one for the 35-year-old veteran Venezuelan infielder. Known mostly for his glove at the 6, Rojas impressed in 103 regular-season games in his second year in Hollywood with a .283/.337/.410 slash line, six home runs, 36 RBI, eight stolen bases and 41 runs scored. He will need surgery on his torn groin this offseason, but he should be recovered in time to be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season, where he'll once again serve as a solid defender for the Blue at shortstop. Fantasy managers in NL-only leagues shouldn't expect Rojas to swing the bat as well as he did in 2024, though.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitchers Alex Vesia (ribs) and Brusdar Graterol (shoulder), and infielder Miguel Rojas (hernia) are all on the team's roster for the World Series. Vesia hurt his rib cage in the NLDS and was left off the roster for the NLCS, but is ready to rock and will likely be used in high-leverage situations against lefties Juan Soto and Jazz Chisholm. Graterol (shoulder) hasn't pitched since landing on the IL in late September with right-shoulder inflammation, but has been working his way back and should be used in a high-leverage role after a dominant regular season. Rojas has already said he will need offseason surgery to repair a sports hernia, but will play through the injury and try to provide the Dodgers with stellar defense when he plays. Kevin Kiermaier, Evan Phillips (arm fatigue), and Edgardo Henriquez were removed from the World Series roster to make room for the trio.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that shortstop Miguel Rojas (groin) is trending in the right direction and there's a good chance that he'll be included on the roster for the World Series before Game 1 on Friday at Dodger Stadium against the New York Yankees. Rojas, who suffered a torn adductor muscle in his groin in the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, did not play in the NL Championship Series against the New York Mets but has put himself in the best position to be ready for the World Series. With the 35-year-old veteran defensive stalwart likely to be on the roster, veteran outfielder Kevin Kiermaier will likely be the odd man out. Rojas will need offseason surgery on his groin and may just be used as an option off the bench in the World Series after starting regularly at the 6 before his injury.
