The light-hitting 36-year-old infielder stunned the Blue Jays as he clobbered a full-count slider from Jeff Hoffman for a 387-foot (104.9 mph EV) game-tying solo shot with one out in the ninth inning. That set the stage for Will Smith’s heroics in the 11th inning as the Dodgers secured their second consecutive World Series title. Rojas finished the evening 2-for-5 and slashed a healthy .278/.316/.444 with a homer and two RBI during the postseason.

The light-hitting 36-year-old infielder stunned the Blue Jays when he launched a full-count slider from closer Jeff Hoffman 387 feet (104.9 mph EV) for a game-tying solo homer with one out in the ninth inning. It was just his second round-tripper since July 19. That unlikely blast — in addition to a phenomenal defensive effort in the bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded — set the stage for Will Smith’s extra-inning heroics, as the Dodgers clinched their second consecutive World Series title.

One imagines the Dodgers will be amenable to such a plan. After a rough first season back in Los Angeles, Rojas has hit .273/.328/.404 as a part-timer the last two years. He’s earned right around $5 million per year for five straight seasons now, and he should be in line for something similar at age 37.

There were calls for Rojas to be DFA’d a couple of months ago, but it’s a very good thing the Dodgers kept him; he’s hit ,295/.373/.505 in 119 plate appearances since mid-June.

In spite of his success tonight, Rojas was removed in favor of Michael Conforto against Bryan Abreu in the eighth. The Astros countered with Josh Hader and then the Dodgers went to Esteury Ruiz, who struck out. Rojas has started two of the three games at third base since Max Muncy went down, but the team does have Tommy Edman worked out there and could soon start using Edman at third and Hyeseong Kim at second against lefties.

Fortunately, X-rays came back negative for any fractures and the 36-year-old infielder told reporters after the game that he wouldn’t require a trip to the injured list. Rojas had been 2-for-2 with an RBI prior to exiting on Sunday.

Rojas hit his third homer of the season in the sixth inning off MacKenzie Gore to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 6-2. He also doubled — his fourth of the season — and scored another run. Rojas is now slashing .240/.276/.340, and wouldn’t be a good fantasy option even if he received more consistent playing time.

The Dodgers are facing a left-handed pitcher, so Michael Conforto will shift to the bench with Tommy Edman in center field and Andy Pages in left field. Rojas will start at second base over Hyeseong Kim, who has only started once in the last week despite the Dodgers facing five right-handed pitchers.
