Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas exits during an at-bat in the eighth inning of Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. Multiple reports describe him leaving after fouling off a pitch and appearing to experience immediate discomfort as he swings and then goes to the Dodgers’ clubhouse.
Sources characterize the issue as an injury scare, with the most specific description being lower back pain. The New York Post notes visible discomfort after the foul, while Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Sports - MLB report Rojas feels something on a swing and is removed by Dodgers staff. Following his departure, Yahoo Sports reports that Rojas provides an update and indicates he hopes to be available going forward, including for NLDS Game 4. Other outlets describe the moment of removal and include observations of him limping and being attended by team personnel, but they align on the timing and the apparent injury during the eighth-inning sequence.
Overall, the reporting focuses on the circumstances of his exit and subsequent injury update, with the differing emphasis mainly on visible discomfort versus specific diagnosis and timing of follow-up information.
