Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that veteran infielder Miguel Rojas will not play in Game 4 of the National League Division Series, citing a lower‑back injury that forced him to leave Game 3 early.

Roberts said Rojas felt "not great" and described the back as sore, noting the team will not make a roster move that could jeopardize his eligibility for a potential NL Championship Series.

Rojas tweaked his back while fielding a ground ball in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game and exited in the eighth after showing pain on a swing. The Dodgers will rely on utility players Tommy Edman, Josue De Paula, Hunter Feduccia and Hyeseong Kim for pinch‑hitting duties.
