Dodgers new starting shortstop Miguel Rojas decided to stay back with the team instead of playing with Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. Rojas made the decision after Gavin Lux went down with his season-ending torn ACL, as he knew it made more sense to remain with the Dodgers and build the chemistry with his new teammates.
So far, that seems to be the right move. Rather than playing off the bench with Venezuela, Rojas was getting consistent playing time with the Dodgers in spring training — and he’s been playing some great baseball thus far.
