Rojas battles back flare-up, still expected on Dodgers' NLCS roster
The Dodgers infielder dealt with a back issue in the DS but is reportedly set to be included on the NLCS roster.
Miguel Rojas suffered a back flare-up during the Division Series, raising questions about his availability for the NLCS. Despite the injury concern, the Dodgers expect him to make their NLCS roster. The back issue is notable but apparently not severe enough to sideline him for the next round. His status should be monitored as the series progresses.
