Dodgers' Miguel Rojas Misses WBC Due to Insurance Issues, Age Factor

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas, 37, will not represent Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) this year due to insurance issues, a decision he announced with sadness on Instagram. His age, combined with a history of hernia, forearm, and intercostal injuries over the last two years, contributed to the insurance complications. This marks his final MLB season, and he will transition into a player development role with the Dodgers post-retirement. Rojas previously pulled out of the 2023 WBC due to a Dodgers' roster need.
