Miguel Rojas Out of Dodgers Lineup for Game 4 Against Braves Due to Back Soreness

Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, October 7, 2026 —

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Miguel Rojas will not be in the starting lineup for Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. The absence is attributed to lower back soreness.

Rojas, a key player for the Dodgers, has been experiencing discomfort that has led to his removal from the game day roster for this critical postseason matchup. The specific details regarding the onset or severity of the lower back soreness were not immediately provided. The club has not announced the full extent of his availability for future games in the series or beyond.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing the Atlanta Braves in the NL Division Series. Game 4 represents a significant point in the series for both teams. Rojas’s unavailability forces a lineup adjustment for the Dodgers as they aim to advance in the playoffs. The team will need to rely on other players to fill his role both defensively at second base and offensively.

Information regarding who will be replacing Rojas at second base or in the batting order was not immediately available. Further updates on Rojas’s condition and his potential return to the lineup are expected from the team.
