Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (groin) was pulled from Wednesday's big divisional tilt at Dodger Stadium against the visiting San Diego Padres due to left-groin tightness. Rojas injured his groin and was seen wincing after rounding third base in the fourth inning and then returning quickly to the pack to avoid being thrown out. Before leaving, the 35-year-old veteran defensive whiz went 0-for-1 with a walk. He was replaced at the 6 by Tommy Edman, with Andy Pages entering the game to play center field. Heading into Thursday's series finale against the Friars, Rojas should be considered day-to-day. The Dodgers will take it easy on Rojas through the rest of the week with a playoff spot already locked up, so don't expect to see him in Thursday's lineup. Rojas brings tremendous value with his glove and is also hitting .283 on the year, but he brings limited power and speed on offense.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran infielder is making his return after being scratched from Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring issue. The 35-year-old will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus left-hander Tyler Alexander on Friday. Rojas has been hot with 13 hits and five RBI since his return from the injured list. He'll likely lose some playing time with Tommy Edman back in the mix now. However, Rojas is worth looking at as a streaming option ahead of Friday's game.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (hamstring) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium due to a hamstring flare-up, according to manager Dave Roberts. However, Rojas is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays after a scheduled day off on Thursday. Tommy Edman will start at the 6 on Wednesday and will face Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. Rojas brings very little power (three homers this year) to the table and is only really a fantasy option in NL-only leagues for middle-infield insurance, but he has hit a cool .283 (65-for-230) and gives the Dodgers the best defensive option at shortstop. The Venezuelan superior glove is the reason the Dodgers moved Mookie Betts back to the outfield after he returned from his fractured hand.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 35-year-old has been out since late July due to forearm tightness. He played in one rehab game before making his return to the Dodgers roster. He figures to see regular playing time until Mookie Betts (hand) is able to play again. Rojas will bat sixth and play shortstop versus right-hander Tyler Phillips on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (forearm) is scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Rojas will resume playing in games down on the farm this week after landing on the 10-day injured list in late July due to forearm tightness in his right arm. Barring a setback for the 35-year-old, he should be able to rejoin the Dodgers by this weekend or early next week. When Rojas is reinstated from the IL, he should jump back into regular duties at the 6 in LA, supplanting veteran Nick Ahmed. When Mookie Betts returns from his broken hand, he's expected to move to the keystone full time to close out the year. Rojas has very little counting-stat upside in fantasy, even with the Dodgers, but he has hit .271 (52-for-192) on the year with three homers, five steals and 21 RBI.
