Celeste Gallagher’s View
I've seen this before with Rojas, and it's a concern. He's a scrappy player who always gives it his all, but lower back pain can be a nagging issue. The fact that he felt something on a swing and was in visible discomfort after fouling off a fastball doesn't bode well. I think the Dodgers will be keeping a close eye on him, and it's possible we see him get some extra treatment or even a day off to rest it. The good news is that he's been cleared to be available if needed, but I'd be surprised if he's back in the lineup anytime soon.
