Mi hermano is back," Rojas posted on Instagram story.
Miguel Rojas enjoyed the most productive campaign of his 11-year major league career after the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Miami Marlins the previous year. Rojas recorded 3.4 bWAR last year despite playing 103 games. He batted .283/.337/.410 during the regular season with a 113 OPS+ even though he contributed just six home runs and 36 RBIs.
Rojas struggled in the postseason, however, and played just four play games for the Dodgers.
