Just three innings into Wednesday’s 8-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, the Dodgers pulled starting shortstop Miguel Rojas from the game. While we didn’t know the reasoning for the move in the moment, the team later posted an update on Twitter, attributing the decision to Rojas experiencing neck tightness.
Miguel Rojas left tonight's game with neck tightness.
