Dodgers Hold Out Miguel Rojas Due to Sore Back. Ronald Acuña Jr. Is Starting in RF for Braves
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas exited Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves in the eighth inning with low back pain.
- Rojas initially tweaked his back during a defensive play in the fifth inning, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, before the injury worsened on a swing.
- Tommy Edman replaced the veteran, finishing his at-bat and taking his defensive spot while the Dodgers led 3-1 at Truist Park in Atlanta.
- Now 37 years old, Rojas previously announced the 2026 season would be his last, though he remains non-committal, saying it is a "40/60" chance he wants to continue.
- The veteran infielder famously hit a game-tying home run in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, posting 20.0 bWAR across 13 seasons.
