Dodgers player and Game 7 hero Miguel Rojas addresses the crowd during the 2025 World Series championship celebration at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday, Nov. 3, 2025.

Miguel Rojas announced on Instagram that he will return to Los Angeles Dodgers for the final year of his career.

He’s said to have reached a one-year deal with the team worth $5.5 million, according to El Extrabase.

Rojas will remain with the franchise beyond the 2026 player, making the transition and assisting the player development department and front office.

He played a key role in helping the Dodgers secure back-to-back World Series titles in October.

The 12-year veteran proved to be a difference-maker in the World Series, producing a game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7. He also made a crucial play at second base, throwing out the Toronto Blue Jays’ potential winning run at the plate.

He did become a free agent after the season, but continued to express his interest in returning to Los Angeles.

The Venezuelan recorded 76 hits, seven home runs, 27 RBIs and 35 runs in 290 at-bats during the regular season.

In the playoffs, he had five hits, three runs, a home run and two RBIs in 18 at-bats.
