Miguel Rojas Withdraws From World Baseball Classic

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas announced that he plans to withdraw from this year's World Baseball Classic for Team Venezuela. It was a mutual decision between Rojas and the Dodgers now that he will be the primary shortstop in the wake of Gavin Lux's (knee) season-ending torn ACL. Utility man Chris Taylor will also mix in at the 6 for the Blue in 2023 with Lux done, but Rojas will be the primary man at shortstop. The 34-year-old was acquired by the Dodgers in a trade with the Marlins this offseason. A wrist injury that required surgery hampered Rojas at the plate in 2022, causing him to slash a weak .236/.283/.323 with a .605 OPS, six home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs and nine steals in 140 games. He's worth a late-round selection as a middle infielder in deeper leagues with more projected playing time in a strong Dodgers lineup.

Miguel Rojas Expected To Handle Most Of SS Duties

Los Angeles Dodgers veteran shortstop Miguel Rojas is expected to handle the bulk of the playing time at shortstop in 2023, according to manager Dave Roberts. Chris Taylor is also a potential candidate at the position after Gavin Lux (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in spring training on Monday. The Dodgers acquired Rojas in a trade with the Miami Marlins this offseason after the 34-year-old hit an underwhelming .236/.283/.323 with a .605 OPS, six home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 507 plate appearances and 140 games for the Fish. He's always been more of a glove-first player, topping out at 11 home runs and 13 steals in his eight years in Miami. However, the lineup upgrade in LA should make him slightly more attractive as a middle infield piece in deeper fantasy leagues.

Miguel Rojas Exits Early On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (foot) was forced to exit early during Sunday's Cactus League matchup against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old was noticeably limping as he was running around first base after hitting a single. The organization decided to remove Rojas from the contest as a precaution. It sounds like the issue is minor and that it was only a foot cramp. This shouldn't keep him out of action for long, which is good news. Rojas is expected to be utility infielder for the Dodgers, which is going to limit his overall fantasy appeal heading into the season.

Dodgers, Miguel Rojas Agree On Two-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers and infielder Miguel Rojas agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract extension on Saturday. The deal carries Rojas through the 2024 season and includes a $5 million club option for 2025 or a $1 million buyout, according to sources. The Dodgers acquired Rojas from the Miami Marlins this offseason, and he was originally scheduled to become a free agent after 2023. The 33-year-old is a defense-first player that struggled even more at the plate last year due to hand and wrist injuries that required surgery. Trea Turner is no longer around in LA, but Gavin Lux is expected to serve as the primary shortstop in 2023. Rojas will be competing with Miguel Rojas for playing time at second base in spring training.

Dodgers Sign Miguel Rojas To Contract Extension

The Dodgers and infielder Miguel Rojas have agreed to a contract extension that will keep Rojas in Los Angeles through at least the 2024 season, according to Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extrabase (Twitter link and link to the Spanish-langugage full story).  Rojas was already set to earn $5MM in 2023, but this new deal reworks…

Miguel Rojas Expected To Undergo Additional Wrist Procedure

After eight seasons with the Marlins, Miguel Rojas changed organizations this evening. Miami traded the infielder to the Dodgers in a one-for-one deal that sent infield prospect Jacob Amaya to South Florida. Rojas is coming off a tough season in which he hit .237/.282/.324 through 504 trips to the plate. A right wrist issue seemed to play…

Dodgers Acquire Miguel Rojas From Marlins

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired shortstop Miguel Rojas from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop prospect Jacob Amaya. Rojas had an underwhelming year at the plate for the Fish in 2022 while dealing with a wrist injury that eventually required surgery, but he's always been more of a glove-first player to begin with. The 33-year-old veteran moves to a much better lineup in LA, which will make him slightly more attractive as a fantasy middle infielder in deeper leagues if he's playing every day. The Dodgers lost star shortstop Trea Turner in free agency and are expected to give Gavin Lux a shot at the 6, so it's possible that Rojas ends up playing more regularly at the keystone for the Blue.

Dodgers Looking To Acquire Miguel Rojas

The Los Angeles Dodgers are deep in trade talks for Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas, according to sources. No deal is done yet, but it could be headed that way. The Dodgers lost star shortstop Trea Turner to the Philadelphia Phillies in free agency this offseason, so Rojas would step in as a temporary solution for the Dodgers at the 6 in 2023. The 33-year-old hit a disappointing .236/.283/.323 with a .605 OPS, six home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 140 games for the Fish in 2022, but he also played most of the season with a wrist injury that required surgery. In nine major-league seasons, he's been a .260/.314/.358 hitter with a career .672 OPS. If healthy and in a much stronger Dodgers lineup, Rojas will have much more fantasy appeal.
