Miguel Rojas News
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired shortstop Miguel Rojas from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop prospect Jacob Amaya. Rojas had an underwhelming year at the plate for the Fish in 2022 while dealing with a wrist injury that eventually required surgery, but he's always been more of a glove-first player to begin with. The 33-year-old veteran moves to a much better lineup in LA, which will make him slightly more attractive as a fantasy middle infielder in deeper leagues if he's playing every day. The Dodgers lost star shortstop Trea Turner in free agency and are expected to give Gavin Lux a shot at the 6, so it's possible that Rojas ends up playing more regularly at the keystone for the Blue.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are deep in trade talks for Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas, according to sources. No deal is done yet, but it could be headed that way. The Dodgers lost star shortstop Trea Turner to the Philadelphia Phillies in free agency this offseason, so Rojas would step in as a temporary solution for the Dodgers at the 6 in 2023. The 33-year-old hit a disappointing .236/.283/.323 with a .605 OPS, six home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 140 games for the Fish in 2022, but he also played most of the season with a wrist injury that required surgery. In nine major-league seasons, he's been a .260/.314/.358 hitter with a career .672 OPS. If healthy and in a much stronger Dodgers lineup, Rojas will have much more fantasy appeal.
Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (wrist) is set to undergo wrist surgery on Wednesday, the final day of the regular season, to address an injured right wrist that he's played with for almost two and a half months. He's in the starting lineup on Monday against Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder, starting at shortstop and hitting eighth. Rojas has played in 57 of the team's 68 games following the All-Star break entering Monday's game against the Braves. On the year, the 33-year-old shortstop is hitting .237/.282/.324 with a .606 OPS, all of which are the lowest marks during his Marlins career. Despite the disappointment at the plate, he's made 65 straight starts at shortstop without an error and should be in consideration for the National League Gold Glove award at the 6.
