Dodgers keep infielder Miguel Rojas on their NLCS roster against the Brewers
MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Miguel Rojas is on the NL Championship Series roster for the
Los Angeles Dodgers after being sidelined by lower back pain.
Left-hander Justin Wrobleski also is part of the Dodgers' roster for their
matchup with Milwaukee. The Brewers went with the same 26-man group that they
had for their NL Division Series against San Diego.
Rojas underwent testing after he left the Dodgers' 3-1 victory at Atlanta in
Game 3 of their NL Division Series. The imaging mostly showed prior back issues.
The veteran infielder worked out with Los Angeles on Saturday at American
Family Field, and manager Dave Roberts said Rojas was available for Sunday
night's NLCS opener.
"We feel good about where Miggy is at," Roberts said.
Rojas, 37, hit a tying homer in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series
last year at Toronto, helping the Dodgers win their second straight
championship. He has said he is leaning toward retiring at the end of the
postseason.
The addition of Wrobleski gives the Dodgers 13 pitchers on their NLCS roster
after they went with 12 for their matchup with the Braves. The 26-year-old
Wrobleski went 12-5 with a 3.66 ERA in 22 starts and six relief appearances
this year, making the NL All-Star team for the first time.
"With Justin, it's certainly there's a length component," Roberts said.
"There's a, he's been there, done that, and had a really good postseason for us
last year. So to get him on some lefties in certain parts of the lineup, we
feel good about."
Infielder Hyeseong Kim was left off the Dodgers' NLCS roster. He appeared in
one game against Atlanta as a defensive replacement.
