When the Dodgers acquired veteran infielder Miguel Rojas from the Miami Marlins last offseason, never did they expect that he would be taking the field as their everyday shortstop. The plan for him was always to use his services as depth options, but an injury to infielder Gavin Lux changed everything.
He was forced into the starting lineup and given more time than the team would like to admit. The veteran hasn’t lived up to expectations at the plate this season, but his defense and leadership have been two things that have kept him alive in the rotation.
