Dave Roberts gives Miguel Rojas a start in final Miami series

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is scheduled to start against the Marlins on September 13. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the decision to give the veteran a start in Miami despite the presence of a right-handed pitcher on the mound. While Roberts typically limits Rojas against right-handed opponents due to performance splits, he acknowledged the sentimental value of this specific appearance. Rojas spent eight seasons with the Marlins from 2015 to 2022 and maintains a home in the city. The infielder has indicated that the 2026 season will likely be his final year as a major league player. Alex Freeland has handled second base duties for the team during recent games against right-handers, but Roberts stated he is eager to get Rojas into the lineup for this homecoming.
