With Gavin Lux injured, Rojas prioritizes being the Dodgers’ primary shortstop over a utility role for Venezuela in the World Baseball Championship
GLENDALE, Ariz — The “new opportunity” created by Gavin Lux’s injury has prompted Miguel Rojas to withdraw from playing for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic.
“It’s something that I don’t take easy. This is a hard decision. But at the end of the day, it’s what I need to do for my future and for the organization as well.” Roberts said he expects Rojas to split time at shortstop with Chris Taylor “80-20, 75-25” and praised Rojas for “his sacrifice” of not playing for his country.Last season, teams began using PitchCom technology that allowed catchers to signal pitch calls to earpieces worn by pitchers, bypassing the old system of signaling pitches that could be deciphered by opposing teams.
