Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas expects to play in NLCS vs. Mets

LA Times  

Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas said he will “be ready to go” for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets on Sunday after missing the final two games of the division series against the San Diego Padres because of a left-thigh strain that he aggravated in Game 3. “I didn’t take another injection because I don’t think it’s going to make my leg feel better,” Rojas said after Friday night’s series-clinching 2-0 win over the Padres. “I think the rest for a couple of days is going to make my leg feel better, and hopefully, I don’t have another setback.” But even if Rojas is deemed fit to start, he may not be in the lineup for Sunday’s series opener against Mets right-hander Kodai Senga, not after what the man who replaced Rojas did in the final two games against the Padres. Hernández, a career.238 hitter with a.713 on-base-plus-slugging percentage in 11 seasons, has shined brightest on baseball’s biggest stage, with a.277 average and.899 OPS, 14 homers and 30 RBIs in 75 postseason games, Manager Dave Roberts said before Game 5 that “I was just going to find a way to get in there” against San Diego right-hander Yu Darvish, and he may take a similar approach against Senga by starting the right-handed-hitting Hernández in center field and switch-hitter Tommy Edman at shortstop.
