It is with profound sadness that the Los Angeles Dodgers community shares the news of the sudden passing of Miguel Rojas Sr., father of Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas. His death on Tuesday afternoon has deeply affected his family, teammates, and fans alike. Miguel Rojas, who learned of his father’s hospitalization just 40 minutes before first pitch, was understandably absent from the game that day but returned to the starting lineup the following day, honoring his father with strength and courage.
The Dodgers community showed heartfelt support and respect for Miguel Rojas and his family. During Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, several players wore “MR” on their caps as a touching tribute to his late father. The game, played in the same ballpark where Miguel hit his memorable World Series home run last year, became a moment of reflection, remembrance, and solidarity for the team and fans.
Miguel Rojas has been a key figure in the Dodgers organization since his return in 2023, helping the team win back-to-back World Series titles. His devotion to his family and his remarkable professionalism on the field exemplify the kind of character his father must have instilled in him.
