The ball club has held strong in the NL West though, despite dealing with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-max-muncy-takes-positive-step-toward-return-from-hamstring-injury" rel="noopener">no shortage of injuries</a> and underperformance. They currently sit three games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks in the division, but are still alive without question. However, one specific player on the Dodgers believe he’s “capable of more.”</p><p>Shortstop Miguel Rojas was acquired by LA during the offseason in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-miguel-rojas-reacts-to-la-return-after-marlins-trade" rel="noopener">trade</a> that was overlooked by many. It proved to be crucial for Los Angeles after Gavin Lux, who was going to be the starting shortstop, went down with a season-ending injury in spring training. Rojas has been his usual self at shortstop with the glove, but his bat has yet to come around. He <a href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/story/2023-06-26/dodgers-miguel-rojas-story-for-tuesday-print" rel="noopener">recently discussed his struggles</a> at the plate, per Mike DiGiovanna of the <i>Los Angeles Times</i>.</p><p>“I don’t need to be a superstar offensively in this lineup, but I want to match my defense with offense,” Rojas said. “I want to be a complete player. I don’t want to be the guy they put in just for defense, or whose bat is taken away later in the game, but if you’re not producing, you’re going to be replaced. I’m not gonna hit 30-40 homers and drive in 100 runs, but I know I’m capable of more.”</p><p>Whether Rojas hits or not, the Dodgers appreciate what he does on the defensive side. He’s a reliable shortstop capable of making impressive plays at a premier position. However, this is the same ball club that previously featured offensive juggernauts at shortstop such as Trea Turner and Corey Seager. So with Rojas hitting just .228 with a .546 OPS, one has to wonder if the Dodgers will try to acquire shortstop help ahead of the MLB trade deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

LA also designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.</p><p>Miguel Rojas participated in a minor league rehab game over the weekend and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-miguel-rojas-return-injury-monday-phillies" rel="noopener">was expected to return</a> barring any setbacks. Rojas’ activation suggests that he’s ready to roll for LA. However, the Dodgers aren’t expected to play Rojas at shortstop on an everyday basis upon his initial return. Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts are candidates to continue receiving reps at the position.</p><p>This doesn’t mean Rojas won’t play. The Dodgers likely want to ease him back into action. If Rojas performs well after returning to the Dodgers, he could take over full-time shortstop duties once again.</p><p>Overall, LA was without key players far too often during the first month of the season. They dealt with a number of inures, and there was a surprising amount of players placed on paternity leave in April.

Rojas is expected to play five innings at shortstop in a minor league rehab assignment game on Saturday. However, Rojas will not immediately return to full-time <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-miguel-rojas-injury-timetable-chris-taylor-return" rel="noopener">shortstop duties</a> for the Dodgers even if he returns on Monday.</p><p>Ardaya reports that Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts could still see time at short amid Rojas’ injury return. Shortstop is one of the most demanding positions in baseball, so Roberts and the Dodgers likely want to ease Rojas back into game-action. All things considered, this is a promising update for Rojas nonetheless.</p><p>The Dodgers don’t currently feature a ton of shortstop depth. Chris Taylor can play the position, but is better suited for the outfield. Mookie Betts made his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-mookie-betts-shortstop-cubs" rel="noopener">MLB debut at shortstop</a> last week for LA. Betts’ everyday position obviously isn’t at short, but he’s capable of handling the position.</p><p>Regardless, it seems likely that Rojas will still be the Dodgers’ everyday shortstop at some point. He entered the season in that role, and offers enough defensive prowess to maintain it. If Rojas struggles mightily at the plate, LA could search for replacement options in July ahead of the trade deadline.</p><p>For now, Rojas will focus on making a full recovery from his injury and returning to the Dodgers as soon as he can. If all goes well on Saturday, Rojas will probably be activated ahead of Monday’s game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Los Angeles’ primary two shortstop options, Miguel Rojas and Chris Taylor, are both dealing with injury concerns. Mookie Betts, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-mookie-betts-playing-shortstop-possibility-dave-roberts" rel="noopener">reportedly can play shortstop</a> for LA, is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-mookie-betts-paternity-list-game-mets" rel="noopener">currently on paternity leave</a> as well. With Betts set to return soon however, the Dodgers <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeDiGiovanna/status/1648743762238242816" rel="noopener">received injury updates</a> on both Rojas and Taylor, per Mike DiGiovanna.</p><p>“#Dodgers SS Miguel Rojas (hamstring injury) is undergoing tests today. ‘We don’t know how short-term or long-term it’s going to be,’ MGR Dave Roberts said. Utility man Chris Taylor (left-side injury) is ‘improving,’ and the hope is that he can play by this weekend,” DiGiovanna wrote on Twitter.</p><p>UPDATE: The Dodgers <a href="https://twitter.com/juanctoribio/status/1648751952027856897" rel="noopener">later announced</a> that they placed Miguel Rojas on the IL and recalled Yonny Hernandez, per Juan Toribio.</p><p>Chris <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-chris-taylor-il-injury-mets" rel="noopener">Taylor recently revealed</a> that he isn’t expecting to require an IL stint. This latest update supports that narrative. The Dodgers will still be in some trouble even if Taylor avoids going to the IL. Although he can play shortstop, Taylor isn’t considered an everyday option at the position. His offensive struggles would also make it difficult for Dave Roberts to make him the Dodgers’ shortstop.</p><p>Los Angeles is hopeful that Miguel Rojas’ uncertain timetable won’t lead to a lengthy absence.</p><p>Mookie Betts could be a shortstop alternative. However, the Dodgers would likely prefer to keep him in right field, as he’s a Gold Glove-caliber outfielder.</p><p>These are uncharted waters for a Dodgers team that has had plenty of stability over the past few seasons. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
