Miguel Rojas Retires After Dodgers' NLCS Elimination

Recent U.S. naturalization clears his work authorization and makes a transition into a Dodgers front‑office or player‑development role the most likely next step.

Overview

  • Rojas confirmed he is retiring immediately following the Dodgers' loss to the Milwaukee Brewers that ended their season in the National League Championship Series.
  • The 37‑year‑old finished a 13‑year big league career that began in Los Angeles, included eight seasons in Miami, and featured key contributions to the Dodgers' 2024 and 2025 World Series titles.
  • He leaves the field with a .260 regular‑season batting average, 61 home runs and 386 RBIs across 1,401 games, and he hit .233 in 25 postseason games.
  • In his final on‑field moments he singled in what reporters called his last plate appearance, and he started Game 4 of the NLCS before being lifted for a pinch hitter without recording an at‑bat.
  • Rojas completed U.S. naturalization earlier this month to remove visa constraints, a step he framed as preparing for a front‑office role though no 2027 contract has been announced.
