Story summary

During the eighth inning of Game 3 of the NLDS on Tuesday, Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas left the game due to visible discomfort and lower back pain. Rojas was evaluated by a training staff member and manager Dave Roberts after fouling off a fastball from Braves reliever Brent Suter. He went hitless in his three at-bats before being replaced by Tommy Edman at second base. Known for his heroic performance in last year's World Series when he tied the game with a home run that led to the Dodgers' eventual victory, Rojas is expected to retire after this season. In Tuesday’s game, despite Rojas’ early departure, the Dodgers scored three runs in the fourth inning thanks to homers by Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman.
