Miguel Rojas sidelined by back pain during NLDS Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas left Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves due to lower back pain. The injury occurred after Rojas slipped on wet turf during a play in the fifth inning and subsequently felt tightness while batting in the eighth inning.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that Rojas’ condition is “not great” and that the team decided to hold him out for the following game to avoid compromising his availability for a potential next series. While Rojas expressed optimism about returning, the club is prioritizing his long-term status for the postseason.
