Scouting Report: Miguel Rojas

Summary

Miguel Rojas, 37-year-old veteran shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers, suffered a hip/quad injury during Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He slipped coming out of the batter's box in the first inning and experienced a "dead leg sensation" after attempting a double play in the sixth inning. He was removed from the game in the seventh inning as a precautionary measure. Manager Dave Roberts described it as a "hip flexor, quad thing" and expects Rojas to return to the lineup soon, likely against left-handed starter Robbie Ray of the San Francisco Giants. Rojas remains confident the injury won't linger. Despite the injury, Rojas is celebrated as a World Series hero for his Game 7-tying home run in the 2025 World Series and continues to be a clubhouse leader. He is in his final MLB season before planned retirement, though he's open to reconsidering if the Dodgers achieve a three-peat championship.
