""Rojas was racing against one of baseball's fastest players, Trea Turner, who was in the 100th percentile in sprint speed this season. The Dodgers third baseman had to dive head first into third base to make the play, just barely beating the Phillies' speedster.

""Miggy, great play, aggressive, heady play to get Trea at third base on the force play," Roberts said. "And then the hamstring tightened up a little bit on him. It's something he's been dealing with for the past few weeks. Wanted to get him out of there." He added: "Obviously liked Muncy coming into the game. We'll see how he comes in tomorrow. And his status, I would say it's fair to say it's day to day.""
Miguel Rojas fielded a ground ball at third with two on and two out in the bottom of the sixth inning of Game 2 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies. He bolted to third and dove headfirst to beat Trea Turner, completing the force out. Turner ranked in the 100th percentile in sprint speed this season. Rojas experienced hamstring tightening on the play and was removed; Max Muncy pinch-hit in the seventh and took over at third. Manager Dave Roberts called the play aggressive and heady and described Rojas's status as day-to-day. Rojas has collected three hits and an RBI in seven postseason at-bats.
