Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Absent from NLCS roster

Rojas (thigh) isn't on Los Angeles' roster for the NLCS against the Mets, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Rojas aggravated an adductor injury during Game 3 of the NLDS versus San Diego and wasn't able to play in either of the final two games of the series. The veteran shortstop has been dealing with the issue since late September, and the Dodgers are opting to hold him out of the NLCS to give him time to heal. It's possible that Rojas could return if the team advances to the World Series, but in the meantime, Tommy Edman could handle shortstop duties. Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is taking Rojas' place on the roster for the series versus the Mets, per Toribio.
