Dodgers veteran confirms he’s retiring immediately after NLCS
The 37-year-old singled in his final career plate appearance.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas has officially announced his retirement after playing his last MLB game. The veteran, 37, confirmed the news via Fox Sports' Rowan Kavner, stating that he will retire immediately following the National League Championship Series. The Milwaukee Brewers ended the Dodgers' season with a four-game sweep on October 15.
Rojas, who began his 13-year MLB career with the Dodgers in 2014, indicated that he was leaning towards retirement before the 2026 season. He offered a potential comeback if the Dodgers offered him a contract and a role in 2027, but it seems his decision is now final. Rojas, a Venezuela native, batted .260 with 61 home runs and 386 RBIs in 1,401 regular season games across his career.
In the postseason, his average dropped to .233, with 14 hits in 60 at-bats over 25 games. He played in the Dodgers' lineup for Game 4 of the NLCS, batting in the third inning, but never got a chance to bat. Rojas was in the lineup for the crucial game, but was substituted for a pinch hitter before he ever stepped up to the plate.
