Miguel Rojas

LAD Shortstop #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Miguel Rojas said he’ll need hernia surgery after the playoffs, but he remains hopeful of returning if the Dodgers advance to the World Series.

Rojas was left off the NLCS roster after aggravating what was originally described as an adductor injury in Game 3 of the NLDS. Surgery shouldn’t prevent him from being ready for the start of 2025.
Daniel Hudson

LAD Relief Pitcher #41

Daniel Hudson is available for Game 3 on Wednesday after reporting a “lower body” issue prior to Game 2.

The Dodgers said Hudson was unavailable for Game 2 after he pitched in Game 1 against the Mets, but no injury reason was provided at the time. Hudson missed much of 2022 and ’23 because of a torn ACL and a subsequent setback.
Chris Getz

CWS General Manager

The Athletic reports that White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf is in negotiations to sell the team to a group led by Dave Stewart and Lonnie Murray.

Stewart’s group has also been involved in the push for an expansion team in Nashville, though that’s been slow going. The 88-year-old Reinsdorf has owned the White Sox since 1981, but he’s come under increasing fire lately with his team’s losing ways and his resistance to looking outside of the organization for answers. He’s also been aiming for a new ballpark. News of a possible sale comes as quite a surprise; expectations were that he’d retain both the White Sox and the NBA’s Bulls for the rest of his life.
Luis Arraez

SD Second Baseman #4

Luis Arraez underwent surgery on his left thumb.

Arraez was dealing with a torn ligament in his left thumb according to Daniel-Alvarez Montes of ElExtraBase.com. Alvarez-Montes also notes that the surgery went well and that Arraez expected to be fully ready for spring training. The 27-year-old will attempt to lead the league in batting average for the fourth time in his short career.
Gavin Lux

LAD Second Baseman #9

Gavin Lux (hip) is playing second base and hitting sixth Wednesday for Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Lux was removed from the lineup against the Mets with a hip flexor issue in Game 1 and didn’t play Game 2, but with right-hander Luis Severino on the mound, he’s back at the keystone for the pivotal Game 3. The full lineup for Los Angeles: DH Shohei Ohtani, RF Mookie Betts, 1B Freddie Freeman, 3B Max Muncy, LF Teoscar Hernandez, 2B Lux, C Will Smith, SS Tommy Edman and CF Enrique Hernandez.
J.D. Martinez

NYM Designated Hitter #28

J.D. Martinez is hitting sixth as the designated hitter for Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Even with right-hander Walker Buehler on the mound, the Mets will go with Martinez as the designated hitter with Mets manager Carlos Mendoza noting that Buehler has ‘neutral’ split stats. That’s a nice way of saying Buehler has been bad and may not be in the game long. The full lineup for the Mets: SS Francisco Lindor, 3B Mark Vientos, LF Brandon Nimmo, 1B Pete Alonso, RF Starling Marte, DH Martinez, 2B Jose Iglesias, CF Tyrone Taylor and C Francisco Alvarez.
Zyhir Hope

LAD Outfielder

Dodgers OF prospect Zyhir Hope homered and drove in four runs while going 3-for-5 for Glendale in the Arizona Fall League on Tuesday.

That’s the second homer of the fall for Hope. The 19-year-old was strong in somewhat limited action in 2024 at the lower levels with a .905 OPS, nine homers and eight stolen bases for Rancho Cucamonga, and he’s forged an impressive 1.274 OPS thus far in the AFL. Hope has a chance for four plus tools, and while he’s not going to contribute at the highest level for a few more years, his power/speed combo makes him a player worth rostering now in dynasty or keeper formats.
Colton Cowser

BAL Left Fielder #17

Colton Cowser underwent surgery on his fractured hand Tuesday.

Cowser’s surgery was deemed successful, and he is expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 season. The 24-year-old very well could be holding a Rookie of the Year trophy in a month with his non-injured hand, though Luis Gil is considered the favorite in betting circles.
Masataka Yoshida

BOS Left Fielder #7

Masataka Yoshida underwent right shoulder labral repair on October 3.

Yoshida was rumored to need the operation, and the 31-year-old outfielder underwent the successful operation shortly after the end of the season. Yoshida doesn’t have a timetable for a return, but it’s at least feasible that the operation will cause him to miss time to begin the season.
Jeff McNeil

NYM Left Fielder #1

Jeff McNeil is not expected to be in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

McNeil has been limited to just one plate appearance as a pinch-hitter after being added to the roster prior to the start of the NLCS. The 32-year-old missed a month with his wrist injury, and Jose Iglesias has been excellent as the starting second baseman in his absence.
