Fri Aug 2319:00Miguel Rojas Returns To The Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran infielder is making his return after being scratched from Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring issue. The 35-year-old will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus left-hander Tyler Alexander on Friday. Rojas has been hot with 13 hits and five RBI since his return from the injured list. He'll likely lose some playing time with Tommy Edman back in the mix now. However, Rojas is worth looking at as a streaming option ahead of Friday's game.

Wed Aug 2120:00Miguel Rojas Scratched With Hamstring Issue
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (hamstring) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium due to a hamstring flare-up, according to manager Dave Roberts. However, Rojas is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays after a scheduled day off on Thursday. Tommy Edman will start at the 6 on Wednesday and will face Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. Rojas brings very little power (three homers this year) to the table and is only really a fantasy option in NL-only leagues for middle-infield insurance, but he has hit a cool .283 (65-for-230) and gives the Dodgers the best defensive option at shortstop. The Venezuelan superior glove is the reason the Dodgers moved Mookie Betts back to the outfield after he returned from his fractured hand.

Wed Aug 718:24Miguel Rojas Activated And Playing On Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 35-year-old has been out since late July due to forearm tightness. He played in one rehab game before making his return to the Dodgers roster. He figures to see regular playing time until Mookie Betts (hand) is able to play again. Rojas will bat sixth and play shortstop versus right-hander Tyler Phillips on Wednesday.

Tue Aug 612:36Miguel Rojas To Start Rehab Assignment On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (forearm) is scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Rojas will resume playing in games down on the farm this week after landing on the 10-day injured list in late July due to forearm tightness in his right arm. Barring a setback for the 35-year-old, he should be able to rejoin the Dodgers by this weekend or early next week. When Rojas is reinstated from the IL, he should jump back into regular duties at the 6 in LA, supplanting veteran Nick Ahmed. When Mookie Betts returns from his broken hand, he's expected to move to the keystone full time to close out the year. Rojas has very little counting-stat upside in fantasy, even with the Dodgers, but he has hit .271 (52-for-192) on the year with three homers, five steals and 21 RBI.

Wed Jul 2422:02Miguel Rojas Hits 10-Day Injured List
The Los Angeles Dodgers put infielder Miguel Rojas (forearm) on the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. Rojas was removed from the game on Sunday night against the visiting Boston Red Sox with right forearm tightness and missed the last two games. The 35-year-old veteran infielder sports a great glove but is having one of his better seasons offensively in 2024, hitting .271 with three home runs, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, and five stolen bases through 192 at-bats for the Dodgers. With Mookie Betts (hand) on the injured list, LA is down to struggling veterans Kike Hernandez, Chris Taylor, and the recently signed Nick Ahmed at short in the interim.

Tue Jul 2318:44Miguel Rojas Remains Out On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (finger) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rojas has been sidelined since being removed from Sunday's game due to right forearm tightness. The 35-year-old is considered as day-to-day, so he should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Enrique Hernandez will cover shortstop and bat ninth versus right-hander Jordan Hicks. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups with Rojas out again.

Mon Jul 2219:22Miguel Rojas Out On Monday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (forearm) is out of the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting division-rival San Francisco Giants. Right-forearm tightness forced Rojas out of Sunday's series finale against the visiting Boston Red Sox early, and now he'll miss the start of the series against the Gigantes. The 35-year-old veteran should be considered day-to-day for now. With Rojas out, utility man Enrique Hernandez will get the start at the 6 for the Blue and will bat in the nine-hole against Giants left-hander Blake Snell. Not only is Hernandez a poor DFS option at the bottom of the batting order, but he's hit just .091 in his career with a .377 OPS in 11 at-bats against Snell. Hernandez is also hitting just .194 (39-for-201) on the season with six homers and 17 RBI.

Sun Jul 2121:15Miguel Rojas Removed Early On Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (forearm) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran infielder was taken out of the contest due to tightness in his forearm. The severity of the injury is unknown as the team will likely have Rojas undergo further testing. In his absence, Enrique Hernandez moved over to shortstop while Chris Taylor entered the game to play third base. Both players could see increased playing time if Rojas is forced to miss time.

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.
