Miguel Rojas Plays Through Rib Injury in Game 7 World Series Victory
Los Angeles Dodgers veteran middle infielder Miguel Rojas (rib) said he felt a sharp pain in his rib area while celebrating the Game 6 win of the World Series over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night and was unsure if he'd be available to play in Game 7 on Saturday, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 36-year-old Venezuelan took several rounds of pain-killing injections and got the start again in the deciding Game 7, going 2-for-5 with the game-tying solo home run in the top of the ninth inning in the eventual 5-4 win in 11 innings to help the Dodgers win back-to-back world championships. Rojas, who had hit just 57 home runs in 4,159 career plate appearances going into the ninth inning, ended up being an unlikely hero for the Dodgers. He spent most of the regular season and playoffs as a utility infielder, hitting .262 with only seven home runs and 27 RBI in 114 games. Rojas will be an unrestricted free agent this winter.
