The Los Angeles Dodgers will have catcher Will Smith<\/a> starting Wednesday as they hope to clinch the National League Division Series at home against the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition, veteran infielder Miguel Rojas<\/a> seems none the worse for wear after being pulled from the game in the middle of the sixth inning, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Rojas strained his hamstring on defense in Monday’s game.<\/p>\n

Miguel Rojas won\u2019t start tomorrow due to matchup reasons. He did tweak his left hamstring yesterday diving into third base on defense, but Rojas said it\u2019s feeling better today. He\u2019s going through his usual routine.<\/p>\n
