Overview
- Miguel Rojas told USA TODAY on Sunday that he is rethinking his plan to retire after 2026 and is considering playing another season before moving off the roster.
- Rojas said he wants to help young players and intends to take a hybrid coaching and front-office job after he stops playing as part of a longer-term goal to become a manager.
- Rojas’s profile rose dramatically when he hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series and helped the Dodgers win in the 10th, a moment teammates and the club still cite.
- Despite limited use this season, Rojas has produced against left-handed pitching and posted a .286 average, .333 on-base percentage and .744 OPS in 77 games, figures that make a roster return plausible.
- Manager Dave Roberts and teammate Max Muncy publicly praised Rojas’s leadership and clutch history, and no formal Dodgers announcement or roster move has been made since his remarks.
