SAN DIEGO — Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas left Game 3 of the National League Division Series in the third inning Tuesday when he aggravated a lingering groin injury.
Rojas received a visit from a member of the Dodgers’ medical staff in the bottom of the second inning while on defense but stayed in the game. He singled in the third inning and advanced to third base on two more singles before he came out of the game.
Rookie Andy Pages replaced Rojas on the bases and took over in center field, while Tommy Edman moved from center to shortstop to replace Rojas on defense.
Rojas was bothered by adductor soreness for most of the season and missed the final four games of the regular season after he was diagnosed with a slight tear.
Rojas, 35, batted .283 with six home runs and 36 RBIs in 103 games this season, taking over at shortstop after Mookie Betts was moved back to right field after a broken hand.
Over 11 major league seasons, Rojas is a career .260 hitter with 50 home runs and 336 RBIs for the Dodgers (2014, 2022-23) and Miami Marlins (2015-22).
