After the series finale against Kansas City, Dave Roberts revealed that Yamamoto and Betts will each be out indefinitely, with Betts suffering a fractured hand.
Betts has been the everyday shortstop this season for the first time in his career. With Betts down, the vacuum is reopened for the Dodgers at the most important position on the diamond.
The Dodgers will likely have to stay within the organization for now, considering internal options due to the trade deadline being more than a month away.
Rojas, an 11-year veteran, has had his best season at the plate since 2020. He has the experience and the defense to take over the position, but his numbers may suffer if he plays every day.
