The Story in 60 Seconds

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is unavailable for NLDS Game 4 against Atlanta due to a lower back injury. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Rojas was still feeling discomfort following his early exit from Game 3 at Truist Park. The Dodgers have opted against removing him from the active roster for now, as that would make him ineligible for the NLCS if the team advances.

Rojas experienced back tightness while fielding in the fifth inning and aggravated it on an eighth-inning foul ball, leading Tommy Edman to replace him. The Dodgers retain bench coverage with Edman, Hyeseong Kim, Hunter Feduccia, and Josue De Paula available.
