Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he's hopeful that Rojas will be able to return to the lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale in Colorado after the shortstop was removed from Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres due to an aggravation of a left adductor injury, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Rojas has been managing the issue for the last few weeks but had been able to play through the adductor injury before suffering a setback while running the bases Wednesday. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Rojas is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday to gain a better understanding of the injury, and he'll also receive an cortisone injection to relieve pain in the area. Both Rojas and Roberts are hopeful that by sitting out the next three games, the 35-year-old will be healthy enough to return to the lineup Sunday for one final tune-up before the playoffs.
