  "account": "Miguel Rojas, a key player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, provided a positive injury update following his exit from Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran outfielder sustained a low back injury after fouling off a pitch, which aggravated during a subsequent fielding play in the eighth inning. Rojas initially expressed concerns about his availability for the next game, but he later stated that he felt no significant tightness in his lower back or hip area and was confident in his ability to play if needed. This news is a significant relief for both the Dodgers and Rojas, particularly as Rojas is anticipated to retire at the end of the current season. The Dodgers, aiming for their third consecutive World Series title, will be glad to have Rojas in their lineup if he remains fully healthy. The team is committed to not rushing a returning veteran from an injury, but if Rojas feels ready, manager Dave Roberts will adhere to his decision.",
  "summary": "Miguel Rojas marked himself as a Los Angeles Dodger postseason hero last season. After exiting in the NLDS with an injury, he reveals how he is feeling and gives insight to his playing status.",
