Miguel Rojas injury during MLB postseason

Overview

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas sustained a lower back injury during Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. The injury occurred after Rojas slipped on wet turf in the fifth inning, followed by feelings of tightness while batting in the eighth inning. Manager Dave Roberts initially stated that Rojas’ condition was “not great,” leading the team to sideline him for the subsequent game.

As the Dodgers prepared for the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, Roberts reported that recent imaging showed progress that was “a step in the right direction.” While the results were not definitive, they suggested the injury might be related to previous issues. Rojas has begun participating in some baseball activities and receiving treatment, though the team delayed final roster decisions pending his response to travel and workouts.
