Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is unlikely to start NLDS Game 4 on Wednesday, October 7, after leaving Tuesday’s game against Atlanta with lower-back pain.
Manager Dave Roberts said Rojas probably would not be in the lineup against Braves right-hander Tyler Mahle, but hoped to have him available, True Blue LA reported. That leaves possible bench availability; Rojas has not been ruled out of the game.
Rojas left Game 3 in the eighth inning in the middle of an at-bat. Tommy Edman finished the plate appearance and took over at second base. The Dodgers announced low back pain as the reason for the exit, according to MLB.com’s injury report.
