Overview
- Rojas exited Game 3 in the eighth inning after grimacing following a foul swing and reaching for his lower back, with Tommy Edman replacing him mid‑at‑bat.
- The team confirmed Rojas left with low back pain and he continued to favor his lower left back in the dugout after the play.
- Rojas told reporters he expects to be available for Game 4 and plans to rest and get treatment to be ready if the team needs him.
- Manager Dave Roberts said he will wait for Wednesday’s checkup and that Rojas probably will not start against a right‑handed starter such as Tyler Mahle, with use limited to a lefty pinch‑hit spot if needed.
- Rojas is a 37‑year‑old defensive veteran whose day‑to‑day back tightness will shape the Dodgers’ short‑term lineup and late‑game choices until a pregame medical evaluation provides a final decision.
