Wed Oct 4 202318:50Miguel Rojas Continues Making Progress
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hand) was able to play in a simulated game on Wednesday. This is good news after Rojas missed the final two games of the regular season due to a left hand injury. It sounds like Rojas is making good progress and will hopefully be ready for Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday. Otherwise, Chris Taylor and Kike Hernandez would likely be asked to fill in at shortstop, assuming Rojas isn't ready. Although, it sounds like he should be ready as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Tue Sep 12 202321:12Miguel Rojas Absent From Tuesday's Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas will begin Tuesday's game against right-hander Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres on the bench. The veteran's having one of the worst offensive seasons of his career, as he's slashed .233/.291/.311 with just three homers and eight stolen bases across 111 contests. Instead, Enrique Hernandez will take his spot in the infield and bat ninth. The 32-year-old struggled for most of 2023 but has hit .266 with a .766 OPS since the Boston Red Sox sent him to L.A. in late July. However, Hernandez is batting just .228 against right-handers on the season, so fantasy managers would be wise to leave him on the wire.

Sun Jun 18 202314:34Miguel Rojas Out Of Sunday's Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas is absent from Sunday's lineup for the matchup with Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants. The 10-year vet is known more for his glove than his bat and is slashing just .227/.258/.267 over 46 games with no long balls, 14 runs, six RBI, and five steals. Michael Busch will take over in the infield at third base and bat ninth. The Dodgers top-three prospect has played in just nine contests in 2023 and has hit .231 with a .603 OPS. Fantasy managers can leave Busch on the waiver wire until he proves he can handle Major League pitching and improve on his 36.7% strikeout rate.

Fri Jun 9 202309:10Miguel Rojas Likely To Return Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (neck) has a good chance to return to the lineup on Friday to take on Ranger Suarez and the Philadelphia Phillies, according to MLB.com. The 10-year veteran missed Thursday's contest after leaving Wednesday's game early as he dealt with neck spasms. Rojas doesn't have much relevance in any league, as he's batting just .216 with no homers, 12 runs, six RBI, and three steals across 39 games, so this news shouldn't affect many fantasy lineups.

Wed Jun 7 202321:50Miguel Rojas Dealing With Neck Tightness
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (neck) left Wednesday night's game early against the Cincinnati Reds with neck tightness. Before leaving, Rojas went 0-for-2 with a strikeout to drop his season average to a mere .216. Chris Taylor moved from left field to the 6 to replace Rojas in the ballgame. The Dodgers should have an update on the 34-year-old's status on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. With a matinee contest coming in the series finale against the Reds on Thursday, it's likely that we won't see Rojas in the lineup. Entering Wednesday's game, Rojas was hitting just .220 (27-for-123) with no home runs, six RBI and three steals in 38 games in his first year in LA. Obviously, Rojas isn't much of a fantasy option.

Sat May 13 202318:21Miguel Rojas Out Of Saturday's Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas will start Saturday's game on the bench against The San Diego Padres, according to MLB.com. The 10-year veteran is batting .183 this year amidst the worst offensive campaign of his career. Jason Heyward is taking his place in the lineup as the right-fielder, batting seventh. The 33-year-old is having a resurgence at the plate, slashing .231/.338/.492 with four homers, 13 runs, eight RBI, and one steal over 29 games. Heyward's been especially productive against right-handers, batting .267, so with righty Joe Musgrove on the mound, fantasy managers looking for outfield help on Saturday can take a chance on the former All-Star.

Mon May 1 202316:51Miguel Rojas Activated From Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday. This is great news considering Rojas has been sidelined since April 12 due to a left hamstring strain. It's worth noting that manager Dave Roberts mentioned Rojas won't be an everyday player upon his return. That means, fantasy managers should expect to see Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts getting in some action at shortstop as well. It's uncertain if Rojas is back in the lineup on Monday, so fantasy managers will have to check back later in the day. Regardless, the Dodgers are certainly happy to have the 34-year-old available once again.

Fri Apr 28 202322:19Miguel Rojas To Start Rehab Assignment Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (hamstring) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Saturday. If all goes well, he could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's series against the Philadelphia Phillies, which begins on Monday, May 1. The 34-year-old veteran infielder last played on April 18 before injuring his hamstring. Acquired from the Miami Marlins in an offseason trade, Rojas has taken on more significance in 2023 now that Gavin Lux (knee) is out for the entire season with a torn ACL suffered in spring training. Rojas only had four hits in his first 32 at-bats in 11 games before getting injured, but he should see most of the playing time at the 6 for LA when he's back. Mookie Betts and Chris Taylor have mostly been splitting time at shortstop with Rojas sidelined.

Wed Apr 19 202300:05Miguel Rojas Exits Early Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (torso) exited Tuesday's game against the Mets with apparent midsection discomfort, per Los Angeles Times' Mike DiGiovanna. Rojas took a hard one-hopper in the midsection in the second inning and was then replaced by Luke Williams in his next at-bat. Rojas had gone 0-for-1 with a walk. Fantasy managers should learn more after the game. The veteran has struggled to start the season, slashing .125/.200/.156 with no home runs, RBI, or stolen bases.

Thu Apr 13 202309:56Miguel Rojas Exits Wednesday's Game With Hamstring Cramp
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) left Wednesday's game against San Francisco due to a cramp in his left hamstring. He returned to the lineup on April 9 after missing a few games with a left groin injury. The 34-year-old is considered day-to-day. Rojas is off to a slow start in 2023, slashing .182/.250/.227 with a run scored over seven games. Chris Taylor replaced him in the lineup during Wednesday's contest. The 32-year-old would see an uptick in playing time while Rojas is sidelined. Taylor is also off to a slow start, hitting .091 (3-for-33) with two homers and five RBI across 10 games.

Sun Apr 9 202313:20Miguel Rojas Returns To The Lineup On Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against Ryne Nelson and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Rojas missed the previous five games with a groin strain but is good to go on Sunday as the Dodgers look to avoid getting swept. Rojas has only logged 14 at-bats so far this season but is slashing a paltry .143/.200/.214. He'll look to get it going at the dish in the series finale against the D-Backs.

Sat Apr 8 202316:54Miguel Rojas To Miss Fifth Straight Game
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (groin) is being held out of the starting lineup for the fifth straight game. The 34-year-old will miss Saturday's game versus the Arizona Diamondbacks as he continues to deal with a lingering groin issue. At this point, the Dodgers might want to consider doing a backdated injured list stint. It's uncertain how much more time Rojas is going to miss because of this issue. In the meantime, Chris Taylor will cover shortstop and bat ninth against right-hander Zach Davies.

Thu Apr 6 202321:33Miguel Rojas Missing Third Straight Game Thursday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (groin) is out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It'll be the third consecutive day on the bench for the 34-year-old after hurting his groin during a play in the field in Sunday's contest. As Fabian Ardaya reports, the club will have Rojas complete a full day's worth of workouts but is taking its time with the injury. With that being said, it doesn't seem like he'll miss much more action. Rojas is slashing .143/.200/.214 to begin the season with no home runs and just one run across four games. The former Miami Marlin hasn't been much of an offensive threat throughout his career, exhibited by his lifetime .671 OPS, and doesn't stand out in any category.

Tue Mar 28 202300:24Miguel Rojas' Two-Strike Approach Leading To Success
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas said Monday that he credits his new two-strike approach to his successful offensive spring. The 34-year-old veteran has slashed .273/.333/.477 with two home runs and five RBI in 44 at-bats. Rojas said, "I used to be really protective with two strikes, now I have a little bit more freedom." He should serve as the starting shortstop for the Dodgers, although he will likely bat at the bottom of the lineup. Despite the strong lineup he will hit in and his strong spring, Rojas won't really offer fantasy managers much unless they need an injury replacement in deeper leagues.

Thu Mar 2 202316:46Miguel Rojas Withdraws From World Baseball Classic
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas announced that he plans to withdraw from this year's World Baseball Classic for Team Venezuela. It was a mutual decision between Rojas and the Dodgers now that he will be the primary shortstop in the wake of Gavin Lux's (knee) season-ending torn ACL. Utility man Chris Taylor will also mix in at the 6 for the Blue in 2023 with Lux done, but Rojas will be the primary man at shortstop. The 34-year-old was acquired by the Dodgers in a trade with the Marlins this offseason. A wrist injury that required surgery hampered Rojas at the plate in 2022, causing him to slash a weak .236/.283/.323 with a .605 OPS, six home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs and nine steals in 140 games. He's worth a late-round selection as a middle infielder in deeper leagues with more projected playing time in a strong Dodgers lineup.

Tue Feb 28 202315:29Miguel Rojas Expected To Handle Most Of SS Duties
Los Angeles Dodgers veteran shortstop Miguel Rojas is expected to handle the bulk of the playing time at shortstop in 2023, according to manager Dave Roberts. Chris Taylor is also a potential candidate at the position after Gavin Lux (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in spring training on Monday. The Dodgers acquired Rojas in a trade with the Miami Marlins this offseason after the 34-year-old hit an underwhelming .236/.283/.323 with a .605 OPS, six home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 507 plate appearances and 140 games for the Fish. He's always been more of a glove-first player, topping out at 11 home runs and 13 steals in his eight years in Miami. However, the lineup upgrade in LA should make him slightly more attractive as a middle infield piece in deeper fantasy leagues.

Sun Feb 26 202321:35Miguel Rojas Exits Early On Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (foot) was forced to exit early during Sunday's Cactus League matchup against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old was noticeably limping as he was running around first base after hitting a single. The organization decided to remove Rojas from the contest as a precaution. It sounds like the issue is minor and that it was only a foot cramp. This shouldn't keep him out of action for long, which is good news. Rojas is expected to be utility infielder for the Dodgers, which is going to limit his overall fantasy appeal heading into the season.

Sun Feb 5 202313:08Dodgers, Miguel Rojas Agree On Two-Year Deal
The Los Angeles Dodgers and infielder Miguel Rojas agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract extension on Saturday. The deal carries Rojas through the 2024 season and includes a $5 million club option for 2025 or a $1 million buyout, according to sources. The Dodgers acquired Rojas from the Miami Marlins this offseason, and he was originally scheduled to become a free agent after 2023. The 33-year-old is a defense-first player that struggled even more at the plate last year due to hand and wrist injuries that required surgery. Trea Turner is no longer around in LA, but Gavin Lux is expected to serve as the primary shortstop in 2023. Rojas will be competing with Miguel Rojas for playing time at second base in spring training.

Wed Jan 11 202319:52Dodgers Acquire Miguel Rojas From Marlins
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired shortstop Miguel Rojas from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop prospect Jacob Amaya. Rojas had an underwhelming year at the plate for the Fish in 2022 while dealing with a wrist injury that eventually required surgery, but he's always been more of a glove-first player to begin with. The 33-year-old veteran moves to a much better lineup in LA, which will make him slightly more attractive as a fantasy middle infielder in deeper leagues if he's playing every day. The Dodgers lost star shortstop Trea Turner in free agency and are expected to give Gavin Lux a shot at the 6, so it's possible that Rojas ends up playing more regularly at the keystone for the Blue.
