He also came in at second base for Rojas.How had Miguel Rojas been playing?Up until that point, Rojas hadn’t made an impact at the plate.He was 0-for-3 with a strikeout.His replacement, Edman, followed up Rojas’ exit with a pop out on the first pitch he saw.What does this mean for the Dodgers?Rojas’ exit isn’t ideal for the Dodgers, who have seen the veteran come through at clutch times, most notably Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. Rojas, 37, is considering retirement after this season, something he said earlier on Tuesday has roughly 60% odds, while he’s leaning 40% toward returning for another season.If Rojas, who also recently became a U.S. citizen, has to miss time, it could open the door for more playing time for someone like the speedster Hyeseong Kim, who narrowly made the Dodgers’ NLDS roster but who has plenty of fans who want to see him perform well.This is still conjecture at this point, though, as it will likely be postgame before we hear for sure what Rojas’ injury is and how long, if it all, it will keep him sidelined.Even if he’s hurt, though, expect Rojas to remain a fixture in the clubhouse and the dugout, as his leadership and baseball savvy are valued by the Dodgers.Skills like those are why many believe Rojas has a future as an MLB manager when he hangs up his spikes, whether that’s after this season or next.
