Jun 15 2025 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a stolen base during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas swiped his fourth bag of the season Sunday and notched his third multi-hit game in his last nine outings. The 31-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .184/.261/223 with no home runs and four doubles over 112 plate appearances. |
|
Jun 6 2025 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Thursday against the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has had a rough start to his tenure with the White Sox, as he has just a .175 average and .477 OPS across his first 91 plate appearances. His performance Thursday was his fourth multi-hit effort in 27 games, and it also snapped a four-game hitless streak, spanning 13 at-bats. |
|
May 31 2025 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has struggled to get going at the plate since being activated from the injured list May 6, as this marked his first multi-hit game in his last 10 starts. He also managed to swipe his third bag of the season and second in his last five games. Despite the encouraging performance, Rojas is hitting only .175 with two extra-base hits across 72 plate appearances for the campaign. |
|
May 27 2025 | Rojas went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Monday against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has maintained a near everyday role for the White Sox at a combination of second and third base since being activated from the injured list May 4. He managed his second stolen base of the season Monday, though he still has only one hit across his last 18 at-bats -- spanning eight games. Rojas has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate overall by hitting just .140 with no extra-base hits across 57 plate appearances, and his strikeout rate has notably surged to 33.3 percent. |
|
May 25 2025 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas had started six straight games against right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while southpaw Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Rangers. Rojas' move to the bench will open up a spot for Vinny Capra, who will draw a start at shortstop. |
|
May 17 2025 | Rojas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 2-for-4 during Friday's 13-3 loss. Lenyn Sosa will start at the keystone while Rojas sits. |
|
May 8 2025 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Rojas has now been out of the lineup both times the White Sox have faced a lefty since he returned from the injured list this past weekend, so he looks to be on the strong side of a platoon as he bounces back and forth between third base and second base. Miguel Vargas is at the hot corner and Lenyn Sosa is at the keystone for Thursday's series finale. |
|
May 6 2025 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas notched his first two base hits of the season and drove in his second RBI in as many starts. He's batted seventh and eighth in the order while making starts at both second and third base. The White Sox face four right-handers in their next five games, and Rojas should continue to be in the lineup while on the large side of a platoon. |
|
May 5 2025 | Rojas is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started the season on the injured list due to a toe injury, but he made his 2025 debut against the Astros on Sunday and went 0-for-2 with a bases-loaded walk. With southpaw Cole Ragans taking the hill for the Royals on Monday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the contest in the dugout while Miguel Vargas starts at third base and bats second. |
|
May 4 2025 | Rojas (toe) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday versus the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has been sidelined since he fractured his right big toe in mid-March, but he's ready to make his debut for the White Sox after a three-game rehab assignment. The 30-year-old had an underwhelming .225/.304/.336 slash line with eight homers and 10 steals in 143 games in Seattle last year, but he inked a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Chicago in January and is expected to see regular action between second base and the hot corner now that he's healthy. |
|
Apr 13 2025 | Rojas (toe) is still experiencing pain while moving side to side in cleats, MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas hasn't made much progress in his recovery from a hairline fracture, though it was noted that he felt okay doing work in turfs. He isn't expected to be able to return until early May. |
|
Mar 31 2025 | Rojas (toe) is not close to beginning a rehab assignment, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran infielder is working his way back from a hairline fracture in his right big toe. While Rojas is eligible for activation Friday, it would appear it's going to take him quite a bit longer to return. Once healthy, Rojas is in line to serve as the White Sox' regular second baseman. |
|
Mar 27 2025 | The White Sox placed Rojas (toe) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is working his way back from a hairline fracture in his right big toe, an injury he sustained in mid-March. While Rojas is on the mend from the injury, the White Sox will likely turn to Lenyn Sosa and Brooks Baldwin to pick up most of the starts at second base. |
|
Mar 23 2025 | Rojas (toe) remains out of Chicago's spring lineup Sundy and is likely to begin the season on the injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old sustained a hairline fracture in his right big toe in mid-March, and it appears he won't have enough time to get healthy before Thursday's season opener. Once healthy, Rojas is expected to operate as the primary second baseman against right-handed pitching for the White Sox. Lenyn Sosa and Brooks Baldwin are the main candidates to fill in at the keystone in the meantime. |
|
Mar 19 2025 | Rojas (toe) hopes to be back on the field in 3-to-4 days after working out and riding a stationary bike Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not clear whether returning to a field means resuming baseball activities or playing in games. Rojas is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, but it's a pain tolerance issue so it's possible he will be able to avoid the injured list. If healthy, Rojas projects to be the White Sox's primary second baseman against right-handed pitching. |
|
Mar 17 2025 | White Sox manager Will Venable said Monday that Rojas has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas suffered the injury during Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rockies. Venable was unwilling to rule Rojas out for Opening Day, as the skipper described the injury as a pain-tolerance situation that the 30-year-old infielder might be able to play through. If Rojas begins the season on the injured list, the White Sox would have room on the roster for an extra infielder such as Brooks Baldwin, Bryan Ramos, Jacob Amaya or Brandon Drury. |
|
Mar 15 2025 | Rojas left in the forth inning of Saturday's spring game against Colorado due to soreness in his right big toe. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 0-for-2 before being replaced by Jordan Sprinkle at third base. An update on Rojas' injury should be made once he undergoes further testing on his right big toe. Rojas had gone 10-for-30 with two walks, two RBI and six runs scored in spring training heading into Saturday's game. |
|
Mar 11 2025 | Rojas is expected to begin the regular season as the White Sox's second baseman, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas joined the White Sox this winter and is one of the few established veterans who is projected to be on the Opening Day roster. While he's played the majority of his career at third base, he's also been roughly an average defensive second baseman. Rojas has also had a decent spring at the plate, maintaining a .304 batting average with two extra-base hits and two stolen bases across 23 at-bats. |
|
Jan 2 2025 | The White Sox agreed to terms with Rojas on a one-year contract Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a good landing spot for playing time for Rojas, who should see close to everyday at-bats in Chicago between second base, third base and shortstop. The 30-year-old slashed just .225/.304/.336 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases across 474 plate appearances for Seattle in 2024. If Rojas bounces back offensively in 2025, he's a likely trade candidate at the deadline. |
|
Nov 22 2024 | The Mariners non-tendered Rojas on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will enter free agency coming off a 2024 regular season in which he slashed .225/.304/.336 with 10 stolen bases, eight home runs and 31 RBI over 474 plate appearances. The 30-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of a lefty-hitting infielder. |
|
Sep 27 2024 | Rojas is absent from Friday's lineup against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the A's sending southpaw JP Sears to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth. |
|
Sep 25 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Rojas will take a seat for the second day in a row while Houston sends another southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi) to the bump. Dylan Moore will spell Rojas at third base. |
|
Sep 24 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the lineup Tuesday while southpaw Framber Valdez starts on the mound for the Astros. Dylan Moore will man the hot corner instead and bat ninth. |
|
Sep 22 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting in each of the previous three contests, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench while the Rangers send southpaw Andrew Heaney to the hill. Dylan Moore will replace Rojas as the Mariners' third baseman. |
|
Sep 21 2024 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI sacrifice fly in a win over the Rangers on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Julio Rodriguez stole the show with a two-homer, five-RBI outburst, but Rojas made some noise of his own out of the bottom of the order. Rojas left the yard for the first time in 25 games -- a stretch that dated back to Aug. 18 -- with his 390-foot shot to right center in the third inning that opened the scoring on the night. The veteran infielder has been hitting lightly of late, however, and he'd recorded just a pair of knocks over the 25 plate appearances covering the seven games prior to Friday. |
|
Sep 18 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Wednesday against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas and his .342 OPS against southpaws this season will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday as left-hander Nestor Cortes starts for the Pinstripes. Dylan Moore will pick up a start at the hot corner as a result and bat ninth. |
|
Sep 15 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners entered Sunday having faced nine straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Rojas posted a .397 OPS while starting all of those games. Luis Urias will take over at the hot corner against Texas lefty Andrew Heaney. |
|
Sep 7 2024 | Rojas went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Cardinals on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas reached on a throwing error in the sixth inning and then stole second base for his 10th pilfer of the season, marking his third straight campaign reaching double digits in that category. The 30-year-old had come into the game on a brief four-game surge during which he'd gone 4-for-11, but his .232/.310/.348 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement. |
|
Sep 4 2024 | Rojas isn't in Seattle's lineup for Wednesday's game against Oakland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed bat of Rojas will step out of the starting nine Wednesday while southpaw JP Sears starts on the bump for the A's. Luis Urias will pick up a start at third base as a result while batting eighth. |
|
Sep 1 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has four multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with three extra-base hits and three steals in that span. The infielder hasn't been a big threat on the basepaths this year, going 9-for-13 on stolen-base attempts. Rojas has added a .234/.315/.351 slash line, seven home runs, 26 RBI, 44 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 410 plate appearances, mainly serving as a strong-side platoon option at third base. |
|
Aug 31 2024 | Rojas is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will avoid matching up against Halos southpaw Tyler Anderson. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat sixth. |
|
Aug 28 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rays are sending right-hander Drew Rasmussen to the mound to open the game, but with lefty Tyler Alexander likely to enter the contest after him as a bulk reliever, the lefty-hitting Rojas will hit the bench. Dylan Moore will cover third base in Rojas' stead. |
|
Aug 27 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Jeffrey Springs set to begin Tuesday's contest for the Rays, the left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the starting nine. In his place, Dylan Moore will cover the hot corner while batting eighth. |
|
Aug 26 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk, a stolen base and a run in a 4-3 win over the Giants on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was a late addition to the lineup after Luke Raley (undisclosed) was scratched shortly before the first pitch. Rojas ended up being a key contributor, as his sixth-inning RBI single provided Seattle with a key insurance run. Despite Sunday's success, August has mostly been a washout for Rojas, however -- he's still sporting just a .167 average and .460 OPS this month across 59 plate appearances while recording a sole extra-base hit in that span. |
|
Aug 25 2024 | Rojas is starting at third base and batting eighth Sunday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old was scheduled to sit against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray on Sunday, but Luke Raley (undisclosed) ended up being a late scratch. Rojas has struggled through most of August and is in the midst of a 5-for-44 slump. |
|
Aug 24 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Blake Snell will start on the mound for the Giants on Saturday, so the left-handed bat of Rojas will take a seat to begin the game. Dylan Moore will step in to start at third base while batting seventh. |
|
Aug 19 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a win over the Pirates on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas delivered his first home run of August in the fourth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 5-0 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Rojas' first since the last time he'd left the yard July 31, and it snapped an 0-for-12 slump that had encompassed his previous four games. Despite the productive day Sunday, Rojas' bat has lost almost all of its early-season sizzle, as he's carrying a .198 average and .599 OPS over the 62 games he's played since June 1. |
|
Aug 17 2024 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Pittsburgh sending left-hander Bailey Falter to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the dugout.

Dylan Moore will slide over to third base as a result, allowing Leo Rivas to pick up a start at shortstop. |
|
Jul 31 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas gave Seattle its first and only lead in the fifth inning with a solo shot to center field. It was just his second homer during a rough July in which the third baseman batted .200 over 70 at-bats, though he did work 13 walks. Rojas batted leadoff for the first time in six games Wednesday, and that could continue to be his slot in the lineup for as long as Victor Robles (hip) remains out of action. |
|
Jul 30 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will dodge a matchup with southpaw James Paxton on Tuesday. In his place, Dylan Moore will bat sixth and play third base. |
|
Jul 28 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 2-for-8 with two walks, a double and a three-run homer in the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat for the finale with southpaw Garrett Crochet pitching for Chicago. Dylan Moore will shift to third base while Leo Rivas receives a start at shortstop. |
|
Jul 27 2024 | Rojas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in a win over the White Sox on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas made his one hit count, as he hit a 386-foot shot to right center in the first inning that brought home Jason Vosler and Mitch Garver. The blast was the first of three straight for the Mariners in the opening frame and snapped a 31-game homerless drought for Rojas, who'd last left the yard June 15. Despite the big hit, Rojas still has a ways to go to bring his numbers back up to par with his early-season body of work, as he's hitting just .158 and sporting an anemic .518 OPS across 66 plate appearances in July. |
|
Jul 20 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-handed hitters Rojas and Luke Raley will take a seat Saturday with southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound for Houston. Dylan Moore will cover third base Saturday. Rojas is slashing .244/.322/.356 across 301 plate appearances this season. |
|
Jul 12 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will be held out of the starting nine against southpaw Tyler Anderson and the Angels. Dylan Moore will bat ninth and play third base Friday. |
|
Jul 3 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-2 in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' pair of singles were the only hits the Mariners' moribund offense was able to muster against Grayson Rodriguez and a trio of relievers. The veteran infielder has emerged from a recent 0-for-13, four-game skid in solid fashion, going 5-for-13 over the next four contests, albeit with just one extra-base hit (a double) in that span. |
|
Jun 29 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in an extra-inning win over the Twins on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was the only Mariner to garner multiple hits on a quiet night overall for Seattle's bats, and he contributed the first run of the game on a fifth-inning two-bagger that plated Mitch Haniger. Rojas now has four multi-hit efforts in the last 12 games, a stretch during which he's accumulated five extra-base hits despite a modest .250 average and .302 on-base percentage. Friday's production also snapped a rare skid for Rojas, who'd gone 0-for-14 over the previous four contests. |
|
Jun 23 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Marlins on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas got in on the fun of the Mariners' 15-hit barrage with his third multi-hit effort in the last seven games. The 29-year-old's bat has been running very hot over the entirety of that span, as evidenced by his .348 average and 1.009 OPS across 25 plate appearances. Rojas has been one of the steadier hitters in an inconsistent Seattle attack, offering a solid balance of pop (18 extra-base hits), speed (two triples, six stolen bases) and plate discipline (18.2 percent strikeout rate) across 67 games. |
|
Jun 21 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second straight night, the Mariners will face a left-handed starting pitcher and keep Rojas out of the starting lineup. Dylan Moore will bat second and play third base. |
|
Jun 20 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, Rojas and fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley will retreat to the bench. Dylan Moore will move over from his usual spot at second base to cover the hot corner in Rojas' stead. |
|
Jun 15 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 2-for-27 (.074) over his previous 10 games before breaking out of the slump in a big way. He hit a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run single in the eighth, providing the Mariners with enough of a cushion to survive the Rangers' late comeback. The homer was Rojas' first since April 28 and his fourth of the season to go with 15 RBI, 26 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .263/.336/.395 slash line over 61 contests. He continues to play in a strong-side platoon role at third base. |
|
Jun 14 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat Friday as the Mariners prepare to face left-handed starter Andrew Heaney. Dylan Moore will start at third base instead while Ryan Bliss covers second. |
|
Jun 13 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With left-hander Garrett Crochet set to start for the Sox, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the dugout Thursday. Dylan Moore will take over at third base while Ryan Bliss covers second. |
|
Jun 9 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners are facing a third left-handed pitcher (Cole Ragans) Sunday in the past four games, and Rojas hasn't started any of those three contests.

|
Jun 7 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will sit for a second straight game against a left-handed pitcher, with Daniel Lynch taking the mound for Kansas City in the series opener.

|
Jun 6 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will exit the starting nine while the Athletics bring southpaw JP Sears to the hill. Dylan Moore started at second base in Seattle's last two games but will shift over to third base Thursday while Rojas takes a seat. |
|
Jun 5 2024 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI infield single, a double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas brought home Dylan Moore with his fourth-inning knock to extend the Mariners' lead to 4-1 at the time, marking only his second RBI in the last 15 games. In contrast, the two-bagger was Rojas' fifth during that same stretch, although those are his only extra-base hits dating back to May 5. Despite the overall lack of pop recently, Rojas is still one of the Mariners' more consistent bats with a .288 average and .781 OPS across 177 plate appearances. |
|
Jun 1 2024 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat as the Mariners face left-hander Reid Detmers.

|
May 31 2024 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has logged two steals over his last four games, giving him six thefts on the year. He was one of the Mariners' top hitters early in May, but he's gone a poor 6-for-47 (.128) over his last 15 contests, though three of the hits in that span have been doubles. Rojas' slump has him down to a .276/.345/.408 slash line with three home runs, 10 RBI and 17 runs scored across 168 plate appearances. He's on the strong side of a platoon at third base, with Dylan Moore often checking in at the hot corner versus southpaws. |
|
May 29 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas singled, stole second and scored off the bat of Julio Rodriguez in the first inning to give Seattle an early lead. The Mariners would then rally in the eighth, beginning with an RBI double from Rojas, who then came around to score once more thanks to Rodriguez. Tuesday was Rojas' first multi-hit game and first stolen base since May 10, while his late RBI knock was just his third since May 7. He's cooled off considerably this month, hitting .152 since May 11. For the year, Rojas is slashing .287/.350/.427 with 12 extra-base hits, 10 RBI, 16 runs, five steals and a 31:14 K:BB in 157 plate appearances. |
|

May 12 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will duck out of the starting nine for the series finale while southpaw Alex Wood takes the hill for Oakland. Luis Urias will fill in for Rojas at third base. |

May 10 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has five multi-hit efforts over eight games in May, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two steals and two extra-base hits in that span. The light-hitting 29-year-old is playing well atop the Mariners' lineup versus right-handed pitchers while splitting time between third base and left field. Friday's effort has him at a .351/.417/.526 slash line with three home runs, four steals, eight RBI and 12 runs scored over 108 plate appearances. |

May 1 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will draw the start at third base in the series finale. |
|
Apr 29 2024 | Rojas isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will be available off the bench as the Mariners face off against lefty Max Fried in the series opener. Luis Urias draws the start at the hot corner and will bat eighth as a result. |
|
Apr 21 2024 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a breather after he went 1-for-3 with a walk in the team's 2-1 extra-inning loss in Sunday's matinee. Luis Urias will replace him at the hot corner and bat eighth in the nightcap. |
|
Apr 18 2024 | Rojas entered Wednesday's win over the Reds as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and remained in the game at third base, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas immediately delivered upon being inserted into the game to lead off the seventh, slugging a solo blast for his first home run of the season and extending the Mariners' lead to 3-1 at the time. The 29-year-old has now hit safely in five straight games, and with a .343 average and .896 OPS overall this year, he's clearly been one of the most productive hitters in a collection of mostly underachieving Seattle bats. |
|
Apr 17 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will make his way to the bench after starting each of the last three games while the Reds bring southpaw Andrew Abbott to the hill for the series finale. Platoon mate Luis Urias will check in for Rojas at third base. |
|
Apr 13 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Shota Imanaga will be the third consecutive left-handed starter the Mariners have faced, so Rojas will once again step out of the lineup in favor of Luis Urias, who will start at third base and bat eighth. |
|
Apr 12 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Friday against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Jordan Wicks will start Friday's contest on the mound for Chicago, meaning the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base instead while batting ninth. |
|
Apr 10 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto, Rojas and fellow left-handed hitter Dominic Canzone will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will fill in for Rojas at third base, while Dylan Moore replaces Canzone in left field. |
|
Apr 8 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a loss to the Brewers on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a busy afternoon for Rojas, who also pitched the eighth inning of the lopsided loss and gave up a two-run home run to William Contreras. Rojas' exploits at the plate were much more noteworthy, however, as the 29-year-old extended a season-opening hot streak that sees him now boasting a .412 average and .915 OPS across his first 18 plate appearances. |
|
Apr 3 2024 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter southpaw Logan Allen, so Rojas will retreat to the bench along with Dominic Canzone. Dylan Moore will replace Canzone in left field, while Luis Urias spells Rojas at third base. |
|
Mar 31 2024 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a run in an extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was the only Mariner to record more than one hit in the low-scoring marathon affair. The 29-year-old has hit safely in each of his first two games, and he should continue seeing fairly regular playing time at both second base and third base moving forward. |
|
Mar 29 2024 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Friday against Boston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started at third base for the Mariners on Opening Day and went 1-for-2, but he will get a day off Friday. Luis Urias will cover the hot corner instead and bat ninth. |
|
Mar 6 2024 | Rojas is hitting .357 (5-for-13) with two doubles, a home run, five RBI, three walks, a stolen base and three runs over his first seven Cactus League games. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 1-for-2 with an RBI single, a bases-loaded walk and a run in the Mariners' Cactus League win over the Royals on Wednesday, his latest taste of spring success. The 29-year-old produced a solid .272/.321/.400 line over 46 games after coming to Seattle in a trade with the Diamondbacks last season, and he appears set to primarily split time with Luis Urias at third base while also occasionally filling in for Jorge Polanco at second in the coming season. |
|
Feb 2 2024 | Rojas, who's projected to fill the strong side of an infield platoon with Dylan Moore, is now likelier to do so at third base rather than second as a result of the Jorge Polanco trade, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kramer notes that Polanco should play either second base or shortstop based on his big-league resume. As a result, Rojas -- who contributed a solid .272 batting average and .721 OPS across 134 plate appearances after his trade from the Diamondbacks last season -- could see the majority of his time at the hot corner. Offseason arrival Luis Urias is also a candidate to see time at third base. Rojas could end up in a super-utility role instead, as he's played every position except catcher, first base and center field during his five-year MLB career. |
|
Jan 11 2024 | The Mariners and Rojas avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.1 million contract Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas had been in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The 29-year-old infielder posted a .589 OPS with the Diamondbacks in 2023 before putting up a .721 OPS following a trade to the Mariners. Rojas looks to be at the top of Seattle's second-base depth chart, although he'll have to hold off others. |
|
Sep 29 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas had gone 26 games without a homer, hitting a paltry .236 in that span. He went yard in the third inning and added an RBI single in the fourth in Friday's contest. The second baseman is batting .280 with the Mariners, an improvement on his .248/.307/.342 slash line over 103 games between Seattle and Arizona this season. All four of his homers have come with the Mariners, and he's added 40 RBI, 47 runs scored, 12 stolen bases and 17 doubles this year. |
|
Sep 28 2023 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Thursday against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery will toe the slab to start Thursday's contest, meaning Rojas will remain on the bench to begin the game. Jose Cabaellero will start at second base and bat ninth in Rojas' place. |
|
Sep 27 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jose Caballero will start at second base and bat ninth in the Mariners' hugely important matchup versus the Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Rojas has slashed just .233/.313/.279 against lefties this year between Arizona and Seattle. |
|
Sep 26 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in a loss to the Astros on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' bat was the only real sign of life for the Mariners in an absolutely moribund night for the offense. The No. 9 hitter's multi-hit effort was his first since Sept. 5 and snapped an 0-for-13 funk that had encompassed his previous five games. |
|
Sep 23 2023 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Saturday against Texas. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery is set to start on the mound for the Rangers, so the left-handed bat of Rojas will sit down to begin the game. Jose Caballero will cover second base and bat ninth in Rojas' place. |
|
Sep 18 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas still has not started against a southpaw since joining the Mariners, so it should come as no surprise that he is opening on the bench Monday with left-hander JP Sears on the bump for Oakland. |
|
Sep 12 2023 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed bat of Rojas will take a seat Tuesday as left-hander Patrick Sandoval takes the mound for Los Angeles. Jose Caballero will fill in at second base and bat ninth while Rojas is out. |
|
Sep 11 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As has been the case since joining the Mariners, Rojas will be held out with a southpaw -- in this instance Reid Detmers -- opening on the mound for the opponent. Dylan Moore will start at second base in place of Rojas. |
|
Sep 8 2023 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Friday against Tampa Bay. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat Friday after going 3-for-15 with two runs scored through the first week of September. Dylan Moore will fill in at second base and bat ninth while Rojas sits. |
|
Sep 6 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Reds on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas authored one of four two-hit efforts for the Mariners, posting his out of the bottom of the order. The trade-deadline acquisition had been mired in a 2-for-15 funk in the seven games since his previous multi-hit tally, but a productive second half of August has helped Rojas maintain an impressive .282/.333/.436 slash line in 25 games with the Mariners thus far. |
|
Sep 2 2023 | Rojas is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty David Peterson on the mound for New York, the Mariners will send most of their lefties to the bench, including Rojas. While Rojas has not drawn a start against a southpaw since getting traded to Seattle, he has been swinging a hot bat, slashing .357/.400/.554 with three home runs and four steals in 56 at-bats since Aug. 11. Jose Caballero is starting at second base and hitting ninth. |
|
Aug 29 2023 | Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against Oakland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tuesday marks the second consecutive game Rojas will miss after breaking his six-game hitting streak Sunday against Kansas City. Jose Caballero will start at second base instead and bat ninth. |
|
Aug 28 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas saw a six-game hitting streak come to an end Sunday, and he will get a breather one day later. Jose Caballero will cover the keystone for the Mariners on Monday night. |
|
Aug 26 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Saturday's 15-2 victory over the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old infielder put Seattle on the board with a third-inning solo shot off Jordan Lyles in what turned out to be a 15-2 blowout victory Saturday. Rojas has now hit safely in six consecutive contests, boasting a .444 batting average with two home runs, six RBI, nine runs and three steals across 27 at-bats during his hitting streak. |
|
Aug 23 2023 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas drove in the Mariners' first run of the contest with a bunt single in the seventh inning before subsequently swiping his ninth base of the season. The 29-year-old Rojas has been on a roll of late, going 9-for-18 (.500) with a homer and three steals in his last four contests. Since joining Seattle, he's batting .294 with a .784 OPS over 15 games. Rojas has boosted his slash line to .242/.301/.329 with two homers, 36 runs scored and 34 RBI across 270 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this season. |
|
Aug 22 2023 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas once again was undeterred by his spot at the bottom of the order, authoring one of a pair of three-hit efforts for the Mariners. It was the fourth multi-hit tally for Rojas over the last nine games, a span during which he's generated a .367 average and .940 OPS after opening his Seattle tenure in an 0-for-13 funk following his arrival from the Diamondbacks. |
|
Aug 20 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' two steals Sunday were his first since May 29 -- he's now 8-for-8 on stolen base attempts this season. The 29-year-old Rojas has been swinging the bat better of late, going 8-for-25 (.320) with a home run over his last eight contests while serving as Seattle's primary second baseman. Overall, Rojas is slashing .225/.286/.300 with 31 runs scored and 30 RBI across 256 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this season. |
|
Aug 19 2023 | Rojas will sit against lefty Framber Valdez and the Astros on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has started 10 times since moving from Arizona to Seattle at the deadline, but all 10 of those stars have come against righties. Rojas actually owns a marginally higher wRC+ against lefties (92) than against righties (89) for his career, but the Mariners seem set on using him in a platoon role at second base. Dylan Moore will handle the keystone Saturday. |
|
Aug 16 2023 | Rojas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' 380-foot shot to right field in the fourth inning with Jose Caballero aboard extended the Mariners' lead to 7-0 at the time and marked his first time leaving the yard all season. The 29-year-old is quickly putting a slow start to his Seattle tenure behind him, as he's now gone 6-for-14 with a double, Tuesday's homer, four RBI, a walk and six runs in his last five games. |
|
Aug 15 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a loss to the Royals on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas delivered a clutch RBI knock in the ninth, knotting the score at 5-5 at the time. After an 0-for-13 start to his Mariners tenure, Rojas' bat has come to life -- he's gone 5-for-10 with Monday's double, two RBI, a walk and five runs over the subsequent four contests. |
|
Aug 12 2023 | Rojas will not start Saturday's game against the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has started against five of the seven lefties the Mariners have faced since he joined the club, but he's been on the bench against all three lefties, including Saturday's starter Cole Irvin. He's gone just 2-for-17 at the plate for his new team, so he isn't doing much to earn a sudden uptick in playing time. Jose Caballero will start at second base Saturday. |
|
Aug 8 2023 | Rojas is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dylan Moore will start at second base and bat ninth versus the Padres and right-hander Nick Martinez. Rojas has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and zero walks since joining the Mariners in a July 31 trade from the Diamondbacks. |
|
Aug 5 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will sit in favor of Jose Caballero with a lefty (Tyler Anderson) on the mound for the opposition, just as he did Friday. It's looking a lot like a platoon at the keystone, with Rojas handling the strong-side role. Rojas is 0-for-6 in two games since coming over from Arizona at the trade deadline. |
|
Aug 4 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jose Caballero will start at second base and bat ninth as the Mariners take on left-hander Reid Detmers. The left-handed-hitting Rojas has gone 0-for-6 with two strikeouts since Seattle acquired him from the Diamondbacks ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. |
|
Aug 2 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup Wednesday versus Boston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Acquired from the Diamondbacks on Monday as part of the Paul Sewald trade, Rojas went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his Mariners debut Tuesday against the Red Sox. Dylan Moore (wrist) is back in the lineup at second base Wednesday. |
|
Jul 31 2023 | Rojas was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Mariners on Monday along with Dominic Canzone and Ryan Bliss in exchange for Paul Sewald, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas, 29, is in the midst of his worst season since 2020, as he is slashing .228/.292/.296 with zero home runs and six steals in 59 games. He has essentially been a replacement-level player (minus-0.1 fWAR), and Rojas will contend with Kolten Wong and Jose Caballero for playing time in Seattle. |
|
Jul 30 2023 | Rojas started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas returned to the majors after the Diamondbacks placed Evan Longoria (back) on the injured list Saturday. The lefty-hitting Rojas will share the hot corner with the righty-swinging Emmanuel Rivera, thought it's uncertain if it will be a strict right-left platoon. |
|
Jul 29 2023 | The Diamondbacks recalled Rojas from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The D-backs sent Rojas down to Triple-A in mid-June, and he's since slashed .259/.322/.389 with two homers and eight RBI across 59 plate appearances. He'll return to Arizona to take Evan Longoria's roster spot after Longoria landed on the IL with a back issue. |
|
Jun 19 2023 | Rojas was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' season batting line had fallen to .235/.301/.306 and he had started only four of his team's last nine games. The Diamondbacks have ultimately decided it would be best for him to work through his struggles in the minors. Emmanuel Rivera has cooled off recently but could be in line for the bulk of the starts at third base, with Evan Longoria also in the mix. |
|
Jun 18 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started the last three games and will hit the bench Sunday despite the fact righty Tanner Bibee is pitching for Cleveland. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at the hot corner. |
|
Jun 14 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will take a seat while the Diamondbacks face a left-handed starting pitcher for the third time in five games. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at third base in place of Rojas, who appears to be viewed as a strict strong-side platoon player. |
|
Jun 11 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will take a seat for the series finale and for the second straight game while the Tigers bring another lefty (Joey Wentz) to the hill. Evan Longoria will step in for Rojas at third base. |
|
Jun 10 2023 | Rojas will be on the bench Saturday against Detroit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. Both days off have come against lefties, including Saturday's starter, Matthew Boyd. Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at third base. |
|
Jun 7 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas earned his day off after he went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win, but he likely would have been on the bench regardless with the Nationals bringing southpaw Patrick Corbin to the hill. Emmanuel Rivera will start at third base and bat second while the lefty-hitting Rojas takes a seat. |
|
Jun 4 2023 | Rojas started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-batting Rojas, who was given Friday off against a right-hander, was back in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta's Spencer Strider. Friday's off day notwithstanding, Rojas remains a regular presence against righties, but his overall production has dropped significantly since mid-April. He's hitting .165 (15-for-91) with a .481 OPS over the last 30 games. For the season, Rojas is batting .237 against right-handed pitching. |
|
Jun 2 2023 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday versus Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat after he went 0-for-10 with two walks, a run scored and four strikeouts while starting all three games in the Diamondbacks' series with the Rockies. Emmanuel Rivera will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in the series opener with Atlanta. |
|
May 30 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Emmanuel Rivera will play third base and bat second with left-hander Kyle Freeland set to toe the slab for Colorado. Rojas has slashed just .208/.296/.250 this year against southpaws. |
|
May 26 2023 | Rojas isn't starting Friday against the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona has now run into left-handed starters in each of its last three games, so Rojas will begin on the bench for the third consecutive time. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at third base and bat second. |
|
May 24 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks are facing a lefty starting pitcher (Ranger Suarez) for the second game in a row, so the lefty-hitting Rojas will remain on the bench for the series finale. Emmanuel Rivera will spell Rojas at third base and bat third. |
|
May 23 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Emmanuel Rivera will start at third base and bat second with left-hander Matt Strahm on the hill for Philadelphia. Rojas carries just a .569 OPS versus lefties this year. |
|
May 22 2023 | Rojas is starting at third base and batting sixth for the Diamondbacks on Monday in Philadelphia. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has flip-flopped with Pavin Smith for the second game in a row, with Smith being elevated to the leadoff spot. After a nice first three weeks of the season, Rojas is sporting just a .534 OPS across his last 23 contests. |
|
May 16 2023 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk in Monday's 5-2 win over Oakland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas extended a hit streak to five consecutive games following a brutal 4-for-35 (.114) stretch from April 23 to May 10. Hitting enough has never been a knock on Rojas, so his bat should keep in the lineup most days. It was his work in the field in 2022 that eventually cost him playing time, but Rojas has shown improvement this season with eight outs above average at third base. At this point, he remains on the strong side of a platoon at the hot corner. |
|
May 12 2023 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will probably appear off the bench at some point as the Giants try a bullpen game. Emmanuel Rivera is starting at third base and batting second to kick things off for the host Diamondbacks. |
|
May 8 2023 | Rojas is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Monday's game versus the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will yield to Evan Longoria at third base with the Marlins throwing left-hander Braxton Garrett. He's just 1-for-12 at the plate so far in May. |
|
May 7 2023 | Rojas went 0-for-3 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas hadn't drawn a walk since April 23, and he hit just .190 (4-for-21) in that span. The infielder is still regularly hitting leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, but he has a modest .263/.315/.343 slash line through 111 plate appearances this season. He's added 18 BI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases, but he's yet to hit a home run in 28 contests. |
|
May 6 2023 | Rojas will sit Saturday against lefty MacKenzie Gore and the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started against a handful of lefties in mid-April, but he's now been on the bench against each of the last five southpaws the Diamondbacks have faced. Emmanuel Rivera will get the start at the hot corner. |
|
May 3 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As usual, the lefty-hitting Rojas finds himself on the bench while the Diamondbacks oppose a southpaw (Andrew Heaney). Evan Longoria will check in for Rojas at third base. |
|
Apr 30 2023 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lefty Austin Gomber will be on the mound Sunday for Colorado, so Rojas finds himself on the bench for the third time in Arizona's past four games. Evan Longoria will receive another start at the hot corner, batting fifth. |
|
Apr 29 2023 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas pinch hit for shortstop Nick Ahmed in the seventh inning and remained in the game to play third base. He knocked in a run on a fielder's choice before delivering two more runs on a double in the ninth. The hit snapped an 0-for-15 run for Rojas, who is up to 14 RBI and three steals through 22 games. With right-hander Noah Davis on the hill for Colorado on Saturday, expect Rojas back in the starting lineup and leading off for the Diamondbacks. |
|
Apr 28 2023 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday at Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It'll be a right-handed-heavy attack for the Diamondbacks with left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. Rojas has a .711 OPS this year against righties and a .522 OPS versus lefties. |
|
Apr 6 2023 | Rojas is batting leadoff Thursday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has been in the leadoff spot in each one of his starts so far this season, though he's also been sitting regularly against lefties. He'll kick things off for the Diamondbacks on Thursday versus right-hander Dustin May. |
|
Apr 5 2023 | Rojas batted leadoff and went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-6 win over San Diego. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks' offense came alive for the first time this season, with most of the production coming in the final four innings Tuesday when Arizona scored seven runs. Much of it can be chalked up to small ball, including Rojas' perfectly-executed slide into home on a double steal. Those were two of five stolen bases for Arizona. Rojas has shared third base with Evan Longoria, getting starts against right-handers. After an off-day, the D-backs return to action Thursday against the Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May. |
|
Apr 3 2023 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will sit for the third time in five games this season, with all of his absences coming against left-handed pitching. Despite his lower usage thus far, Rojas should see the larger share of playing time at third base this season while the righty-hitting Evan Longoria seemingly fills a short-side platoon role. |
|
Mar 31 2023 | Rojas is starting at third base and batting leadoff for the Diamondbacks on Friday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was on the bench in favor of Evan Longoria for the opener with the Dodgers throwing left-hander Julio Urias, but he'll start and lead off versus righty Dustin May. It figures to be a pretty regular platoon between the two this season, although Rojas offers the versatility to play multiple other positions, as well. |
|
Mar 15 2023 | Rojas (legs) will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's Cactus League split-squad game against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has been dealing with some tightness in both of his legs and hasn't played in a spring game since March 8, but the Diamondbacks' decision to hold him out of action looks to have been mostly precautionary. The 28-year-old has moved between third base and second base over his first eight spring games, perhaps signaling that the Diamondbacks envision him filling more a utility role in 2023. |
|
Mar 12 2023 | Rojas has been scratched from Sunday's Cactus League lineup against the Rockies for undisclosed reasons. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has been replaced in the lineup by Buddy Kennedy, who will hit seventh and play third base. There should be an update shortly as to why the veteran infielder is out of the lineup. |
|
Feb 16 2023 | Rojas will earn $2.575 million in 2023 after losing his arbitration hearing to the Diamondbacks, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas had filed at $2.9 million in what was his first year of arbitration eligibility as a Super 2 qualifier. The 28-year-old put up a .739 OPS with nine home runs and 23 stolen bases for the Diamondbacks last season. Most of his playing time in 2023 will probably come at third base, although he figures to bounce around and could get starts in the designated hitter spot, too. |
|
Oct 6 2022 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas homered off righty reliever Trevor Gott with nobody out in the ninth inning to give Arizona a 3-2 lead. Across his final six games of 2022, the third baseman recorded a .409 average over 22 at-bats with three multi-hit games and four doubles. The 28-year-old closed out the season with a .269/.249/.391 slash line, nine home runs, 56 RBI, 66 runs and 23 steals in 510 plate appearances. |
|
Oct 4 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a steal in Tuesday's loss against the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was one of the lone bright spots for Arizona as he recorded the team's sole hit on the night. The hit, a single to lead off the seventh inning, spoiled Milwaukee's bid for a combined no hitter and put him in position to swipe second base, which he did successfully. The stolen base was his 23rd of the season and third in his last five games. Over 506 plate appearances in 2022, Rojas has slashed .267/.347/.380. |
|
Oct 2 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas collected six hits in three games in this weekend series versus the Giants. He added four RBI, two runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. He slumped in September, but he could finish the year strong with a small burst of offense in the final week. The versatile 28-year-old has maintained a .268/.348/.383 slash line with eight home runs, 54 RBI, 65 runs scored, 22 stolen bases and 24 doubles through 122 contests this season. |
|
Oct 1 2022 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Rojas' first multi-hit effort since Sept. 11. The 28-year-old had a rough month, going 15-for-74 (.203), which cost him some playing time in combination with sloppy defense. He's been more good than bad in 2022 overall, logging a .264/.345/.376 slash line with eight home runs, 51 RBI, 64 runs scored and 21 steals in 120 games. |
|
Sep 25 2022 | Rojas started at third base and went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was held out of the starting lineup the previous three games -- two against left-handers and one against a right-hander -- largely due to erratic defense. He returned to action against San Francisco righty Alex Cobb Going forward, he could share third base with righty-hitting Emmanuel Rivera or switch hitter Sergio Alcantara. |
|
Sep 24 2022 | Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas will remain an infielder through the end of the season, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reprots. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has had recent defensive issues and was held out Friday's starting lineup for the third straight game -- two against a lefty and one against a righty. The recent lineup decisions appear to be more about the defensive issues than a lefty-on-lefty matter, but Rojas has not started the last four against lefties. Lovullo said he'll continue to use him as an infielder, but there will be discussions in the offseason about what may be the best fit for Rojas, who has experience in the outfield and at multiple infield positions. Next season's outfield appears well stocked, so he would be unlikely to get 500 plate appearances if limited to outfield. Pending any offseason acquisitions, Rojas could move back to being a super utility player, but that would also cap his opportunities. |
|
Sep 23 2022 | Rojas is not in Friday's lineup against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The recent trend of Rojas sitting against left-handed pitchers continues with him taking a seat against Carlos Rodon. Sergio Alcantara is starting at third base and hitting seventh. |
|
Sep 22 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was already confirmed to be losing playing time due to his defensive woes, but it's not clear whether or not he's completely lost the primary role at third base. Nonetheless, he will be held out Thursday in favor of Sergio Alcantara, who will bat seventh. |
|
Sep 21 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat Wednesday after going 1-for-4 in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. While he rests, Emmanuel Rivera will take his spot at third base and bat fifth. |
|
Sep 20 2022 | Rojas isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat in Game 2 as the lefty Tyler Anderson will start for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take over as the D-backs' third baseman and bat fifth. |
|
Sep 19 2022 | Rojas isn't in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will retreat to the bench with southpaw Clayton Kershaw taking the mound for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take his spot at third base and bat fifth. |
|
Sep 16 2022 | Rojas isn't in the lineup Friday against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started against a left-handed pitcher Thursday against San Diego but will head to the bench for the third time in the last five games since southpaw Blake Snell is on the mound Friday. Sergio Alcantara is starting at the hot corner and batting seventh. |
|
Sep 13 2022 | Rojas isn't in Arizona's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers will start Tuesday's game with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound, so Rojas will miss his second consecutive game as Arizona elects to play with favorable matchups. Just like Monday, Emmanuel Rivera will start at third base and bat fifth in the order. |
|
Sep 12 2022 | Rojas isn't in Arizona's lineup Monday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will take a seat Monday with lefty-throwing Tyler Anderson on the bump for Los Angeles. Emmanuel Rivera will take over third base in his absence and bat fifth in the order. |
|
Sep 10 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Saturday against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is getting a breather after he hit .233 with a home run, a double, five runs, five RBI and two stolen bases over the last eight games. Emmanuel Rivera will start at the hot corner and bat sixth. |
|
Sep 6 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas got his contribution out of the way quickly, taking Joe Musgrove's first pitch of the game deep to left field for a leadoff homer. This ended a 20-game homer drought for Rojas, who hit .276 with five doubles, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. The 28-year-old has been fairly steady this year with a .275/.354/.401 slash line, eight long balls, 19 stolen bases, 46 RBI and 58 runs scored through 103 games. |
|
Aug 31 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 1-for-11 with a run, two walks and four strikeouts over the last three games and will get a rare day off Wednesday. Emmanuel Rivera is starting at the hot corner and batting third. |
|
Aug 27 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas figured prominently in Arizona's six-run second inning. With the bases loaded, he cleared them with a double, then scored on Emmanuel Rivera's two-run home run. Rojas is up to 42 RBI over 93 games, two shy of the career-high 44 he had in 139 contests last season. |
|
Aug 17 2022 | Rojas started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas filled in at second base for a second consecutive game with Ketel Marte (hamstring) unavailable. Marte's injury is not considered serious at this point, so Rojas will eventually move back to third base, which is being handled by Emmanuel Rivera for now. It was the fifth start at second for Rojas, who's in danger of losing middle-infielder eligibility in 2023 depending on league requirements. |
|
Aug 16 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas stole a base for the third consecutive game and is up to 16, a career high in the majors, and he has not been caught. He hasn't been as prolific a base stealer as when he was a minor leaguer; Rojas stole 38 bags in 2018 and 32 in 2019 before becoming a regular for Arizona. |
|
Aug 13 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base and three RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas accounted for half of the Diamondbacks' offense with a two-run home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the ninth. He also logged a steal after a single in the seventh. The 28-year-old hadn't gone yard since July 27, but he's up to three steals in August. For the season, Rojas sports a .276/.348/.410 slash line, seven homers, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and 14 steals through 333 plate appearances. He's seen most of his playing time at third base this year, but the versatile defender could move around the diamond if manager Torey Lovullo opts to get the hot-hitting Emmanuel Rivera in the lineup more often. |
|
Aug 10 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak in which he's hit .320 with three doubles, five runs, three RBI and a stolen base. He'll get a breather while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner and bats sixth. |
|
Aug 5 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 win against the Rockies on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas walked and scored in the first inning and doubled home a run and stole third in the seventh. The 28-year-old has been slumping a bit at the dish of late -- batting 3-for-24 over his last six contests -- but has swiped two bags in his last three games. Rojas is slashing .268/.343/.396 with six home runs, 40 runs, 31 RBI and 13 stolen bases across 74 games. |
|
Aug 2 2022 | Rojas went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a 6-3 win Tuesday in Cleveland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas walked and stole second in the first inning and is now 12-for-12 in stolen base attempts on the season. The 28-year-old is amid a mini-slump, going 1-for-16 in his last four contests. Overall, he's posted a .268/.344/.397 line that is quite comparable to his .264/.341/.411 line from a season ago. |
|
Jul 26 2022 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a day off after he went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's series opener. Sergio Alcantara will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh versus San Francisco. |
|
Jul 25 2022 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's 7-0 win over the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Entering Monday, Rojas had never had multiple steals in a major-league game, let alone three. This was also his second straight multi-hit effort. The infielder's rampant running has him up to 11 steals in 65 contests, and he's yet to be caught stealing. He's added a .279/.352/.408 slash line with five home runs, 28 RBI and 36 runs scored through 267 plate appearances. |
|
Jul 24 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort, batting .154 (4-for-26) during that slump. All three of his hits Sunday were singles, including one that generated a run in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old is slashing .275/.347/.406 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 262 plate appearances, and it appears he's retained a starting role at third base even with his recent downturn at the plate. |
|
Jul 22 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Friday against the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started the last 11 games and hit .268 with a homer, four doubles, seven RBI, three runs and three stolen bases. Sergio Alcantara is shifting to third base while Buddy Kennedy serves as the designated hitter. |
|
Jul 17 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in a 3-1 victory over San Diego on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Batting leadoff, Rojas singled and stole second in the first inning while tacking on walks in the fifth and seventh to reach base three times for the third time this month. Through 16 July games, the 28-year-old is slashing .339/.431/.536 with an impressive eight doubles, nine walks and three thefts. Rojas concludes the first half with a .271/.344/.407 slash line, five home runs, 34 runs, 26 RBI and eight stolen bases in 61 games. |
|
Jul 9 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both of Rojas' doubles accounted for his three RBI as he helped the Diamondbacks strengthen their lead in the seventh and eighth innings. The 28-year-old has already racked up five multi-hit efforts in nine games in July, matching his number of such performances from 24 contests in June. The infielder's success at the plate has lifted his batting average 36 points from .248 at the end of June to .284 after Saturday's contest. He's added a .787 OPS, five home runs, 26 RBI, 34 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 13 doubles through 221 plate appearances this year. |
|
Jul 8 2022 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas did all he could from the top of the order. He hit a solo shot in the first inning, knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the fourth and added an RBI on a fielder's choice in the ninth. He continues to hit well in July -- the 28-year-old has gone 11-for-24 (.458) with two steals, five RBI, eight runs and six doubles in his last eight contests. For the season, the infielder has a .275/.343/.423 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, 33 runs scored and seven steals through 53 games. His place in Arizona's lineup is fairly secure, as he hits leadoff versus righties and in the bottom half of the order versus southpaws. |
|
Jul 6 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-1 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas came off the bench to pinch hit for third baseman Jake Hager with Arizona down 2-1. Leading off the inning against an infield shift and down 0-2 in the count to San Francisco righty Dominic Leone, the lefty batter laid a perfect bunt down the third base line, getting on base to ignite a five-run rally. Rojas will occasionally sit against left-handed starters but should not be a candidate for a platoon. He's slashed .269/.346/.378 against port-siders during his career and .260/.339/.340 in 2022. |
|
Jul 5 2022 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has a .985 OPS over his past seven contests and will take a seat Tuesday against San Francisco southpaw Alex Wood. Jake Hager will start at the hot corner and bat ninth. |
|
Jul 2 2022 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas hasn't been a platoon player since his return, and in fact he has some reverse splits so far this year, but he will sit Saturday against lefty Austin Gomber. Jake Hager will man the hot corner for Arizona. After a three-hit game Friday, Rojas is now batting .260/.326/.385 with four homers and five stolen bases in 46 games this season. |
|
Jul 1 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has posted multiple hits in three of his last four games, going 7-for-18 (.389) in that span. He was effective at keeping the line moving Friday, again serving in the leadoff role. The versatile 28-year-old is up to a .260/.326/.385 slash line with four home runs, 18 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven doubles and five stolen bases through 46 contests, and he's claimed a near-everyday role at third base with his solid hitting. |
|
Jun 27 2022 | Rojas batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-7 win over Detroit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was the second straight game in the leadoff spot for Rojas, both against righties, as it appears manager Torey Lovullo is giving Daulton Varsho a break from that role. Since being hit on the right shoulder blade May 27, Varsho had gone 15-for-86 (.174) with a .428 OPS before delivering a pair of hits, including a three-run home run, Sunday. Rojas has experience as a leadoff batter -- a career 83 games started at the top of the order is his most of any spot in the order -- and has generally hit among the top three in the order since the middle of May. The infielder initially batted in the lower half of the order following a stay on the injured list that forced him to miss the first five weeks of the season. |
|
Jun 21 2022 | Rojas will sit Tuesday against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas sits after starting 12 straight games, a stretch in which he hit just .216/.2732/.333. Jake Hager will get the nod at the hot corner Tuesday. |
|
Jun 19 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas got aboard with a single in the sixth inning, stole second and scored on a Buddy Kennedy grand slam. While he's gone 3-for-20 (.150) with six strikeouts in his last five games, Rojas has added two of his five steals this season in that span. The versatile 27-year-old has a .254/.329/.388 slash line with four home runs, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored, four doubles and a triple. He's primarily played at third base lately, taking on an everyday role. |
|
Jun 14 2022 | Rojas went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas walked and stole second in the 11th inning. He represented the winning run, but Ketel Marte's groundout ended the inning. This was the first time all year Rojas has been held without a hit in consecutive games -- he's 0-for-9 against the Reds in this series. The 27-year-old's mini-slump has dropped his slash line to .263/.346/.415 with four home runs, four stolen bases, 16 RBI and 19 runs scored through 33 contests. |
|
Jun 11 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in Friday's loss against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas doubled home Jake McCarthy and Alek Thomas in the seventh inning to bring the game within one run, but the Phillies still escaped with a win. Rojas now has at least one hit in each of his last three games and in six of his last eight, going 8-for-32 (.250) with four extra-base hits in that longer span. |
|
Jun 10 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-4 with a single, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 come-from-behind win over the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' two-run single was amidst Arizona's four-run ninth inning that turned a loss into a win. He's been a remarkably consistent bat in the Diamondbacks' order, never going more than one game without a hit. The team's primary third baseman is slashing .284/.369/.463 over 28 games and 111 plate appearances. |
|
Jun 9 2022 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored during Wednesday's win over Cincinnati. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas returned to the lineup after being benched Tuesday and slugged his first home run since May 20, when he hit three against the Cubs. He added a leadoff triple in the seventh and came around to score on a Ketel Marte single one batter later. Across 27 games, Rojas is slashing .286/.368/.473 with four homers and 11 RBI. |
|
Jun 7 2022 | Rojas isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a breather after he went 1-for-11 with two strikeouts over the last three games. Jake Hager is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth. |
|
May 28 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas recently missed three games with a bruised left hand, but he was able to start the last two contests. He hit second in the order in both games, gathering four hits and a walk across eight plate appearances. |
|
May 26 2022 | Rojas (hand) is starting Thursday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was available off the bench if needed during Tuesday's series finale against the Royals, but he remained off the field for a third consecutive game due to his bruised left hand. However, he'll start at the hot corner and bat second during Thursday's matchup. |
|
May 25 2022 | Rojas (hand) was available off the bench if needed for Tuesday's game, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks did not use Rojas in their 8-6 win over the Royals. The infielder took infield and batting practice ahead of Tuesday's series finale with Kansas City, but manager Torey Lovullo preferred to "stay away" from using Rojas if possible. With a scheduled day off Wednesday, Rojas will get another 24 hours of healing in before the series opener against the Dodgers on Thursday. |
|
May 24 2022 | Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will be on the bench for the third game in a row due to a bruised left hand. With Rojas' main replacement in the lineup, Drew Ellis, exiting Monday's 9-5 win with side discomfort and also taking a seat Tuesday, the Diamondbacks will break in Jake Hager at third base. |
|
May 23 2022 | Rojas (hand) isn't starting Monday against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas sustained a bruised left hand in Saturday's win over the Cubs and will be held out of the lineup for a second straight game, even with right-hander Zack Greinke on the mound for Kansas City on Monday. Drew Ellis will remain at the hot corner and bat eighth. |
|
May 22 2022 | Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Rojas will sit out Sunday's series finale after suffering a bruised left hand in Saturday's 7-6 win, but it's unclear if the injury or the fact that southpaw Wade Miley is on the hill for Chicago is what's keeping him out of the lineup. Regardless, newly recalled Drew Ellis will fill in at third base for Rojas. |
|
May 21 2022 | Rojas left Saturday's game against the Cubs with a left hand contusion. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adding insult to injury, the bruise occured when Rojas was struck in the hand by a pitch that he swung at and struck out on, but he's at least escaped without a serious injury. He may need some time off to wait for his swelling and soreness to subside, but it appears that he's avoided the longer absence which would come with a fracture. Yonny Hernandez replaced him and could see some extra playing time if Rojas winds up being forced to sit for a few days. |
|
May 20 2022 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with three home runs, four RBI and a strikeout in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas failed to record an extra-base hit in his first 13 games of the season, but he experienced a power surge at Wrigley Field on Friday. The 27-year-old has crossed the plate in five of the last six games and has gone 7-for-19 with three homers, seven runs, six RBI and a steal during that time. |
|
May 14 2022 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas reached base safely for a sixth straight game since coming off the injured list and has swiped bags in consecutive games. He's settling in as the team's primary third baseman, although manager Torey Lovullo is shuttling three infielders -- Rojas, Nick Ahmed and Geraldo Perdomo -- between third and shortstop. |
|
May 12 2022 | Rojas went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 11-3 loss to Miami. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has reached base safely in all five games since being activated off the injured list last week. The steal was the first for the infielder, who had a combined 10 stolen bases last season between MLB and the minors and was a consistent double-digit thief as a full-timer in the minors. |
|
May 8 2022 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was activated from the injured list Friday and started the past two games at third base, and he'll receive a day off after going 2-for-7 with a walk, a run and a strikeout. Geraldo Perdomo will man the hot corner in his place during the series finale. |
|
May 7 2022 | Rojas started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was activated from the injured list Friday and made his season debut. He's expected to be the primary third baseman while also moving around the infield to keep shortstop Nick Ahmed and second baseman Ketel Marte fresh and healthy. That rotation, along with off days for himself, opens up plate appearances for prospect Geraldo Perdomo, who remains on the roster following Rojas' activation. |
|
May 6 2022 | Rojas (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will presumably slot into the lineup after going 2-for-5 with a double, a steal, four walks and one strikeout in two rehab games. Rojas' power could be affected by the deadened baseball, but he should play almost every day and is eligible at several positions. |
|
May 5 2022 | Rojas (oblique) has played two games as part of a rehab assignment for Triple-A Reno. He's 2-for-5 with four walks, a double, two RBI and a stolen base. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas served as the designated hitter Tuesday then third base Wednesday, each time playing nine innings. The Diamondbacks plan to welcome him back at some point during a homestand that kicks off Friday against the Rockies. |
|
May 2 2022 | Rojas (oblique) will soon begin a rehab assignment and is expected back in the majors during Arizona's upcoming homestand, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas, who has been getting at-bats in extended spring training games, will play for "one or maybe two games" at Triple-A Reno. The rehab assignment likely rules out a return while the Diamondbacks finish a road trip in Miami, but Rojas could make his season debut at some point during the nine-game homestand that begins Friday against Colorado. He played seven innings at shortstop Saturday, but that was to ensure he's comfortable moving around the infield if needed. Lovullo indicated Rojas will see most of his innings at third base. |
|
May 1 2022 | Rojas (oblique) is unlikely to return for Arizona's series against the Marlins beginning Monday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is still progressing and taking at-bats in extended spring training. It's unclear if the organization wants to see him on a minor-league rehab assignment or if at-bats at the team's training facility are enough. |
|
Apr 22 2022 | Rojas (oblique) was scheduled to hit off a velocity machine Thursday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated facing the machine is a step up from normal batting practice, which suggests Rojas is progressing from the Grade 2 strain suffered late in spring training. Upon his return, Rojas is expected to serve as the Diamondbacks' primary third baseman. |
|
Apr 16 2022 | Rojas (oblique) has begun swinging a bat, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: That's a seemingly quick progression for Rojas, who was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain. The Diamondbacks are getting by at third base with a rotation of bodies until Rojas is ready to rejoin the team. |
|
Apr 7 2022 | Rojas (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Rojas will miss "weeks, not days" due to a Grade 2 right oblique strain, so his placement on the injured list isn't very surprising. Drew Ellis will start at third base and bat eighth Opening Day for Arizona, while Sergio Alcantara should also see playing time at the hot corner while Rojas is sidelined. |

Apr 3 2022 | Manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Rojas will be out for "weeks, not days" after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 right oblique strain, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was set to start on the left side of Arizona's infield, but he'll now be sidelined for Opening Day with the oblique strain. The 31-year-old could be sidelined for at least the first month of the campaign, though he doesn't yet have an official timeline for his return. Sergio Alcantara and Drew Ellis could see more playing time as a result of the injury. |
|
Mar 29 2022 | Rojas started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 with a double in Monday's spring training game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was the first to step in for injured shortstop Nick Ahmed (shoulder) and could be a permanent fill-in. Ahmed is considering all options -- anything to avoid surgery -- so there's a need to find someone to slot in at shortstop for the immediate future. Rojas was penciled in as the starter at third base, but there could be a bigger need at short. He started 39 games at shortstop in 2021. |
|
Mar 21 2022 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI and a second run scored in Sunday's spring-training game against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started at third base and batted second in his Cactus League debut. The versatile infielder is the leading candidate to start at third base, and he's approaching the competition like it's his to lose, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. The Diamondbacks' leadership team have talked about bringing in an established third baseman, which would move Rojas back to a utility role, but no player addition is imminent. However it shakes out, Rojas is poised to garner 500-550 plate appearances, as he did in 2021. |
|
Mar 17 2022 | Rojas has been working at third base in the early days of camp, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said the team is still evaluating the situation at third base and could add a candidate outside the organization, so it's not a lock that Rojas becomes the everyday man at the position. The GM said if they do add someone, it was "more realistic" that it would be as the result of a trade than free agency. Rojas can play multiple positions, and the Diamondbacks understand the value of that versatility. Hazen told Steve Gilbert of MLB.com on Wednesday that Rojas, who has outfield experience, will stick mainly in the infield in 2022. If Rojas serves in an infield-utility role, the current in-house candidates for the hot corner include Drew Ellis, Josh VanMeter and Matt Davidson, who is a non-roster invitee. |
|
Mar 12 2022 | Rojas is one of several players that could start at third base in 2022, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona general manager Mike Hazen talked about the possibility of adding a third baseman, particularly one with years of control, back in November, but the lockout-impacted offseason prevented the Diamondbacks from signing or trading for one. The in-house candidates start with Rojas, who enters camp with no restrictions following a November procedure to clean up the AC joint in his left shoudler, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. However, the team likes his versatility, which includes experience at all infield positions and corner outfield. Josh VanMeter and Drew Ellis are also in the mix. Shortstop prospect Geraldo Perdomo would have an outside shot at the job, as Nick Ahmed is expected to open at short this season. |
|
Oct 2 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Saturday's game against Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will be on the bench for the third time in the last four games after he went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Friday. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat eighth. |
|
Sep 30 2021 | Rojas is out of the lineup Thursday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is 2-for-14 over his past five games and will take a seat for the second consecutive contest. Geraldo Perdomo will receive another start at shortstop for Arizona. |
|
Sep 29 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a strikeout Tuesday, but he'll head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat eighth. |
|
Sep 26 2021 | Rojas will sit Sunday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas sits after starting 11 of the last 12 games. He's gone hitless in each of his last three contests. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop, the position Rojas occupied most frequently over that stretch. |
|
Sep 21 2021 | Rojas is sitting Tuesday versus the Braves. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The second baseman will take a seat after starting seven consecutive contests, collecting eight hits. He'll be replaced at second base by Ketel Marte while Jake McCarthy will start in center field and bat seventh. |
|
Sep 17 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Friday's loss to Houston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas hit from the leadoff spot for the second time in three games and registered his first three-hit performance in exactly one month. He scored the go-ahead run after starting the 10th inning at second base as the inherited runner, but the Astros were able to pull the game out in the bottom of the frame. Rojas is slashing .270/.347/.426 with 11 home runs, 65 runs, 42 RBI and nine stolen bases in his first full big-league campaign. |
|
Sep 12 2021 | Rojas will sit Sunday against Seattle. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has just three hits over his last six games. Andrew Young will get the start at second base in the series finale. |
|
Sep 6 2021 | Rojas went 1-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The two runs give Rojas 60 for the season, second on the team behind Pavin Smith. He filled in at shortstop for the resting Nick Ahmed on Sunday, the 29th start at the position for Rojas, who will continue to move around the diamond through the rest of the season. He's also been deployed at second base and both corner outfield spots. Rojas has established himself as a piece for the 2022 iteration of the Diamondbacks, though it's unclear if he'll continue to be deployed as a utility guy or given a stable home. He entered MLB as a second baseman primarily. |
|
Sep 4 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Saturday against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a breather after he went 4-for-9 with a double, two RBI and a run across the last two games. Andrew Young will start at second base and bat fifth. |
|
Aug 31 2021 | Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will sit for the second time in four games after walking and scoring a run in Monday's series opener. Andrew Young is set to start at second base and bat sixth. |
|
Aug 21 2021 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Another multi-hit effort Friday has Rojas hitting .548 with six extra-base hits and seven RBI in his last eight games. Drew Ellis is playing second base and batting eighth Saturday. |
|
Aug 18 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It took a string of six at-bats without a hit for Rojas to acclimate following downtime due to a dislocated finger, but the infielder's bat is cooking right now. He has 13 hits in the 19 at-bats (.684) with six extra-base hits and five RBI over the last five games. He's sharing second base with Josh VanMeter but started at shortstop Tuesday. Both of those versatile infielders are hitting, which could lead to more time at short for Rojas, ahead of Nick Ahmed. |
|
Aug 15 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas homered in the fifth inning off Pierce Johnson, cutting the Diamondbacks' deficit to two runs. Over his last three games, he is 10-for-15 with four extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs scored. On the season, he is slashing .281/.366/.464 with 11 long balls, 32 RBI, 54 runs and seven steals in 385 plate appearances. |
|
Aug 14 2021 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went 2-for-3 with a walk Friday and is 6-for-14 since returning from the injured list August 10. Josh VanMeter is playing second base and batting leadoff Saturday. |
|
Aug 13 2021 | Rojas went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI and a walk in a 12-3 victory against the Padres on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas singled in the first, walked and scored in the second, doubled and scored in the fourth, singled in the sixth and brought home two runs with a single in the seventh. The 27-year-old enjoyed his best game of the season and broke out of an 0-for-6 slump following a stint on the IL. Reaching base five times increased his on-base percentage a substantial seven points in just one game. |
|
Aug 12 2021 | Rojas entered Wednesday's game in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter then finished up in right field. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was reinstated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and started at second base, then was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Arizona's primary right fielder, Kole Calhoun, injured his hamstring in the second inning, and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo first had Pavin Smith cover for him before Rojas entered the contest. While the injury could create more starting opportunities for Rojas, he is considered primarily a second baseman. |
|
Aug 11 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. While he should still see plenty of playing time now that he's healthy, Josh VanMeter will take over at second base and lead off Wednesday. |
|
Aug 10 2021 | Rojas (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas landed on the shelf just after the All-Star break with a dislocated left pinky finger, but he'll rejoin the active roster Tuesday after a three-game rehab assignment. The 27-year-old should reclaim the starting role at second base, shifting Josh VanMeter back to a bench role. Jake Hager was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. |
|
Aug 9 2021 | Rojas (finger) went 3-for-4 with three home runs, a walk and four RBI on Sunday in the third game of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In addition to his big day at the dish, Rojas played a full nine innings at second base, suggesting that he's ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks. He's expected to reclaim an everyday role at the keystone, putting an end to the platoon of Josh VanMeter and Jake Hager that the Diamondbacks had been rolling with at the position of late. |
|
Aug 8 2021 | Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas (finger) could be reinstated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday, when the Diamondbacks play the Giants in San Francisco, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas kicked off a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Friday, playing seven innings at shortstop, then he played nine innings Saturday as the designated hitter. He's expected to start in the field Sunday. |
|
Aug 7 2021 | Rojas (finger) went 0-for-3 with an RBI for Triple-A Reno on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started at shortstop and played seven innings for the Aces. If there are no setbacks, Rojas could be reinstated in a matter of days. With Arizona giving ample opportunities to younger players, Rojas would likely see everyday work in the infield. |
|
Aug 5 2021 | Rojas (finger) is expected to begin a rehab assignment in the near future, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas participated in live batting practice Wednesday, and he took grounders at shortstop ahead of Thursday's game against the Giants. The 27-year-old was initially targeting a weekend return, so he shouldn't require many rehab games before he's cleared to rejoin the major-league club. |
|
Aug 3 2021 | Rojas (finger) has taken batting practice and is targeting a return this weekend, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is still dealing with discomfort and range-of-motion issues in his left pinky finger, and he may not be 100 percent for another month or so. That means he'll have to manage the pain. Rojas is tentatively scheduled to take live at-bats in a simulated game Wednesday. If that goes well, manager Torey Lovullo wants to see him play in a minor-league rehab game or two before coming off the injured list. |
|
Jul 28 2021 | Rojas (finger) has experienced increased range of motion and better grip strength, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Rojas is close to having a bat in his hand and taking swings. The utility infielder/outfielder landed on the injured list with a dislocation of his left pinkie finger retroactive to July 22, putting him in line to be activated early next week. |
|
Jul 24 2021 | Rojas was placed on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left finger Saturday, retroactive to July 22, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was slated to miss a second consecutive game due to his injury Saturday, but he'll instead be placed on the injured list to free up a roster spot for Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old sustained his dislocated pinkie finger Wednesday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. Josh VanMeter should see increased playing time at second base in his absence. |
|
Jul 23 2021 | Rojas (finger) will not start Friday against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas dislocated his left pinkie finger Wednesday against the Pirates when diving into second base. Thursday's off day evidently wasn't enough time for him to heal, so he'll be on the bench for at least one game. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Diamondbacks are still evaluating Rojas, and a trip to the injured list remains a possibility. Josh VanMeter will get the start at second base. |
|
Jul 21 2021 | Rojas dislocated the pinkie finger on his left hand Wednesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The injury, suffered while diving into second base, forced his exit from Wednesday's game against the Pirates. It's unclear how much time, if any, Rojas will be sidelined. |
|
Jul 19 2021 | Rojas went 1-for-1 with a double, four walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has reached base safely in nine straight games (.525 OBP) and has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Diamondbacks. He's settled in as the team's primary leadoff hitter while moving around the diamond at second base, shortstop and corner outfield. Rojas is slashing .261/.348/.435 over a career-high 348 plate appearances. |
|
Jul 16 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run and a strikeout in a 5-1 loss to the Cubs on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Batting leadoff, Rojas doubled in both the third and fifth innings, scoring following the former for Arizona's only run of the game. The utility man now has five hits in his last two games and is one of the few Diamondback's hitters providing consistent value this year with multi-position eligibility, 10 home runs and five stolen bases. |
|
Jul 11 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, run, walk and caught stealing in a 7-4 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas got on in the first, third, fifth and ninth innings for his second game reaching base four times this season. The Versatile rookie is slashing .256/.337/.424 and has made appearances at five different positions in the season's first half, helping Rojas to an impressive 87 games thus far. |
|
Jul 9 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-5 in Thursday's 9-3 loss to Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas entered the contest on a 1-for-22 run before adding hits in his first two plate appearances. He's been getting steady work -- he's started six of the last seven games at corner outfield and middle infield -- while batting at or near the top of the order. The Diamondbacks will continue to develop the 27-year-old, who is batting .251 over 84 games, but there's been some element of luck. Statcast estimates his expected batting average to be 23 points lower. |
|
Jul 4 2021 | Rojas is not in the lineup Sunday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is 0-for-12 over his past three games and will receive Sunday off. Josh VanMeter will cover the keystone in his place in the series finale versus San Francisco. |
|
Jun 28 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, double and strikeout in a 7-1 loss to the Cardinals on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas accounted for Arizona's lone run with his fifth inning homer off St. Louis starter Wade LeBlanc and later doubled to lead off the seventh but was left stranded. It was the utility man's fourth straight start with two hits as he's 8-for-19 over his past five games though the double and homer tonight were his first extra-base hits in the stretch. |
|
Jun 26 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-5 loss to the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas manned right field for the first time in a week, as the Diamondbacks juggled the lineup while Ketel Marte works his way back from a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old Rojas has started 10 of the last 11 contests and could continue getting regular at-bats for the team with the worst record in the majors. There is little reason for veterans like Josh Reddick and Asdrubal Cabrera to take playing time from Rojas, who has already set a career high in plate appearances. |
|
Jun 20 2021 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will take a seat after he went 6-for-23 with two doubles, two walks, a stolen base and four runs while starting the past six games. Josh VanMeter will fill in for Rojas at second base and as the Diamondbacks' leadoff man. |
|
Jun 16 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-5 and scored two runs in Tuesday's loss to San Francisco. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As has been the case often of late, Rojas hit out of the leadoff spot and successfully set the table by registering three singles. He came around to score twice in the first two innings. Since moving to the top of the lineup May 26, he is hitting only .211 but has drilled four homers, collected eight RBI and scored 10 runs over 19 games. |
|
Jun 13 2021 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After turning in his second two-homer game in as many Saturdays, Rojas will retreat to the bench for the series finale in what's likely just a routine rest day. Since settling in as Arizona's primary leadoff man May 26, Rojas is hitting .194 and getting on base at a .275 clip. He doesn't appear at risk of losing hold of a full-time role, though Rojas could end up settling lower in the Arizona lineup more frequently. |
|
Jun 12 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo homers in Saturday's loss to the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was the star of the show offensively for Arizona in the loss, going deep in the seventh and ninth innings. It was the second two-homer game of the month for the utility man, though he is batting only .184 (7-for-38) overall in June. Rojas ranks second on the team with nine homers on the campaign, though he has knocked in only 20 runs. |
|
Jun 9 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a breather after he went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts across the past two games. Ildemaro Vargas will start at second base and bat ninth. |
|
Jun 5 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Milwaukee. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas took little time to snap an 0-for-9 skid at the plate, hitting a leadoff homer in the first inning. He went yard again in the seventh, and both long balls went over the center field fence. The 26-year-old has a .264/.341/.456 slash line with seven homers, 17 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases in 205 plate appearances. He's established himself as a leadoff hitter as well as a versatile option on defense. |
|
Jun 2 2021 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas heads to the bench for the first time since May 10, ending a stretch of 21 consecutive starts for the 26-year-old. After a wretched start to the season, Rojas began to turn things around at the plate in late April and has since established himself as an everyday player. Though he'll be sitting with southpaw David Peterson on the mound, the lefty-hitting Rojas should still find himself in the lineup more often than not against both lefties and righties. |
|
May 27 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas ran his hit streak to six games, going 10-for-23 with five doubles and three RBI during that run. The utility player has been filling in at second base and right field while Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring) are sidelined. The Diamondbacks have dropped 10 straight, falling to last place in the NL West, so they may decide to begin preparing for next season. That means potentially handing second base to Rojas even when Cabrera returns. |
|
May 23 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started in right field as Josh Reddick moved to center for the resting Ketel Marte. It was the third straight game with a two-base hit for Rojas, who has a nine for the season, tied for the lead among Diamondbacks hitters. The 27-year-old utility player continues to get regular playing time, filling in at second base and outfield while Arizona copes with injuries to Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring), both of whom are expected to be out until mid June or later. Rojas has taken advantage of the opportunity, positing a career-high slash line (.288/.354/.485) over 147 plate appearances. |
|
May 21 2021 | Rojas started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas spelled Nick Ahmed at shortstop and could see more consistent action in the infield going forward. He had been filling in at right field, making five straight starts there while Kole Calhoun (hamstring) is sidelined. That was before the Diamondbacks purchased the contract of Josh Reddick, the veteran right fielder who joined up with Arizona in April, then hit .304/.365/.478 in 11 games for Triple-A Reno. There's a glaring need at second base since Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) hit the injured list, and Rojas could be the primary fill-in there. |
|
May 10 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Monday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will get a breather after he went 7-for-15 with two doubles, two runs, a walk and two strikeouts in the last four games. Pavin Smith will shift to right field while Daulton Varsho takes over in center. |
|
May 9 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Arizona's 4-2 loss to the Mets on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks were quiet offensively Saturday, but Rojas produced another multi-hit game. He is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak in which he is batting .452 with four home runs, six RBI and nine runs. In contrast, he started the season 2-for-31. The 27-year-old is slashing .277/.355/.506 in 93 plate appearances. |
|
May 8 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hitting eighth in front of the pitcher didn't cramp Rojas' style, and he extended his hitting streak to seven games with the performance. The 26-year-old is slashing .429/.448/.929 over that stretch with four homers, six RBI and eight runs as he solidifies a spot in Arizona's everyday lineup. |
|
May 5 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has gone 8-for-19 with four home runs, a double, seven runs and six RBI across the last five games. However, Pavin Smith will shift to right field while Tim Locastro starts in center. |
|
May 4 2021 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old got Arizona on the board in the fifth inning by taking Sandy Alcantara deep. Rojas is on a tear, going 8-for-19 over the last five games with four of his five homers on the year, and with Kole Calhoun (hamstring) likely out until mid-June, he'll get a chance to settle in as the starting right fielder. |
|
May 1 2021 | Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in the 14-6 loss Saturday to the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas took Lucas Gilbreath deep to lead off the ninth inning. This was Rojas' third game in a row with a home run. He is heating up at the right time for a team that is dealing with many injuries. The 27-year-old struggled to start the season but is batting .394 with four home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs over his last 11 games. |
|
Apr 29 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's victory over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old smacked a solo homer off Antonio Senzatela in the fourth inning, his second of the season. The left-handed hitter is slashing .196./.309/.333 as he looks to build off this current momentum. |
|
Apr 28 2021 | Rojas entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner and played right field after Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was removed from a 5-1 win over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Calhoun came up lame after stealing third base and was pulled from the game. With Pavin Smith already in the game at first base, the Diamondbacks opted for the multi-positional Rojas as a replacement. Calhoun will have an MRI on Wednesday and presumably will miss that night's game at least. Manager Torey Lovullo has a few options in right field should Calhoun require a stay on the injured list. Smith tops the list followed by Rojas and Josh VanMeter. |
|
Apr 25 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in the 7-0 win Sunday over the Braves. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started in right field in game two of Sunday's double header with the Braves. The utility man knocked in Nick Ahmed on a double in the first inning, then again on a single in the sixth inning. Rojas often comes off the bench, but has started three of the last four games. He is batting .191 in 56 plate appearances. |
|
Apr 24 2021 | Rojas went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas got the start at shortstop in place of the slumping Nick Ahmed and hit safely in his third straight start. Manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed remains the starting shortstop for now, but Rojas' bat is heating up. He's gone 5-for-13 with a double, a home run, three RBI and five runs scored over his last five appearances (three starts). |
|
Apr 22 2021 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with his first stolen base of the season in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas had been on the bench since Sunday before getting the start in right field in the series finale in Cincinnati. This was Rojas' second multi-hit game in his last two starts; the full-time experiment did not last long, but perhaps manager Torey Lovullo will ride the hot hand this weekend in Atlanta. |
|
Apr 19 2021 | Rojas started at second base, batted leadoff and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Washington. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went deep on starter Paolo Espino as the first batter of the game and came around to score two additional runs after a single and a walk. The two hits matched his season total entering Sunday's contest. This is the version of Rojas that showed up in spring training, and the one the Diamondbacks were missing through the first three weeks of the regular season. He had been a lineup staple through the first portion of the season, playing both shortstop and second base, but lost the everyday role after starting 2-for-27. With Tim Locastro (finger) and Ketel Marte (hamstring) sidelined, the Diamondbacks need someone to hit leadoff. That could be Rojas if he continues to hit. |
|
Apr 11 2021 | Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nick Ahmed's return from the injured list Saturday appears to have closed Rojas' window for everyday playing time. Rojas wasn't able to take advantage of the extra opportunities he received to begin the season, going 2-for-27 with a 3:7 BB:K. He'll likely transition into a utility role for Arizona. |
|
Apr 10 2021 | Rojas went 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas, who is filling in at shortstop for the injured Nick Ahmed (knee), had his batting average drop to .074 following the game. He opened the season as the primary leadoff hitter but was quickly dropped amid the hitting woes. If fantasy managers haven't benched him yet, news that Ahmed is expected to return this weekend should prompt that move. |

Apr 8 2021 | Rojas isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has gone 2-for-21 with a run and five strikeouts in the first six games of the 2021 campaign. Josh VanMeter will take over at second base Thursday, batting second. |
|
Apr 6 2021 | Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas is 1-for-16 with one run, two walks and four strikeouts through four games and will take a seat Tuesday. Eduardo Escobar will shift to the keystone while Asdrubal Cabrera receives the start at third base. |
|
Mar 22 2021 | Rojas has hit well this spring, going 18-for-53 with three home runs and a .340/.397/.547 line. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas went on a power tear in early March, swatting all three of his long balls in a two-game span. Nevertheless, he's remained impressive throughout Cactus League play and appears to be securing playing time for himself at second base -- a position that opened after the injury to Kole Calhoun (knee) that will likely shift Ketel Marte primarily to the outfield. If Rojas is able to carry this type of performance through to the regular season, he could continue to earn at-bats as a utility player even after Calhoun is able to return to the field. |
|
Mar 6 2021 | Rojas started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's spring game against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has muscled up with three home runs in the last two games. The utility infielder is 5-for-15 with three homers and six RBI over five games, while playing at second base and shortstop. He also has experience in the outfield and has been mentioned as a possible fill-in for injured right fielder Kole Calhoun (knee), but he's not yet played there this spring. |
|
Mar 1 2021 | Rojas (back) will start at shortstop and bat sixth Monday in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League game against the Brewers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas ended the 2020 season on the injured list due to a bout of lower-back inflammation, but he appears to be back to full strength for spring training. He was used as a reserve in Sunday's Cactus League opener, going hitless across two at-bats in the Diamondbacks' 5-2 loss to the Rockies. Rojas will be one of several players competing this spring for a utility role on Arizona's Opening Day roster. |
|
Sep 23 2020 | Rojas was placed on the injured list with lower-back inflammation Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' placement on the IL cleared the way for Ketel Marte to be activated. The move ends Rojas' season after 70 plate appearances and a slash line of .180/.257/.180. There could be room for him on the roster as a super utility player in 2021, but a career .567 OPS mitigates the benefits of his versatility. |
|
Sep 22 2020 | Rojas (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lower-back discomfort forced Rojas to leave Sunday's game against the Astros and will cost him at least one start. Ketel Marte returns from a wrist injury to start at second base. |
|
Sep 20 2020 | Rojas was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros with low back discomfort, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was replaced defensively in the bottom of the sixth inning, and the team revealed after the game that he was dealing with low back discomfort. He's currently considered day-to-day. |
|
Sep 17 2020 | Rojas is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas started the last three games and will head to the bench after going 1-for-12 with two runs and three walks. Josh VanMeter will receive the start at the keystone in his place. |
|
Sep 12 2020 | Rojas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas has been effective at the plate recently, going 6-for-18 with six runs and two strikeouts over the last four games. However, he'll take a seat Saturday with Josh VanMeter starting at second base. |
|
Sep 10 2020 | Rojas started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Diamondbacks placing Ketel Marte (wrist) on injured reserve, Rojas was given the first chance to fill in at second base. He's started eight start at various positions, and now it looks like he'll have a permanent defensive home while Marte is sidelined. Rojas is 6-for-29 with one RBI, four runs scored, one stolen base and 11 strikeouts during that eight-game stretch. |
|
Sep 7 2020 | Rojas will start at second base and will bat leadoff Sunday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he didn't start in the Diamondbacks' first game following his Sept. 1 callup, Rojas has now entered the lineup in Arizona's subsequent six contests, either at second base or as the team's designated hitter. He's only gone 3-for-17 with no extra-base hits and a stolen base since his promotion, but Rojas should continue to get plenty of run in September for a 15-26 Diamondbacks squad that has no visions of competing for a playoff spot. |
|
Sep 6 2020 | Rojas started at second base for a resting Ketel Marte and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' sacrifice fly plated the Diamondbacks' second run and he's now started the last five game (three at designated hitter and two at second base). In six appearances overall, Rojas is 3-for-18 with one RBI and one stolen base. |
|
Sep 4 2020 | Rojas started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas was in the lineup a second straight night after serving as the designated hitter Wednesday. He was recalled Wednesday by the Diamondbacks, who were active sellers at the trade deadline. The 26-year-old. who had one at-bat during a brief stay in the majors earlier this season, should see an uptick in playing time this month. |
|
Sep 1 2020 | Rojas was recalled from the Diamondbacks' alternate training site Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After spending a month at the alternate site, Rojas will rejoin the major-league club Tuesday. He recorded just one at-bat during his first stint with the team in 2020 and likely won't play a significant role going forward. |
|
Jul 24 2020 | Rojas made the active roster despite going hitless in summer camp, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas' versatility won out over his struggles at the plate during camp, when he went 0-for-27 with four walks. He was marginally better in spring training, going 5-for-34. Rojas, who batted .217 in 138 at-bats for the Diamondbacks last season, plays the infield base positions and corner outfield spots. |
|
Jul 8 2020 | Rojas was mentioned Monday as a possible fill-in for Kole Calhoun (illness) by Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Calhoun, the Diamondbacks' projected starter in right field, tested positive for COVID-19, and his return in time for the regular season is uncertain. Lovullo mentioned Rojas, along with Jon Jay and Trayce Thompson, as potential replacements for Calhoun if he's unavailable for Opening Day. |
|
Jul 2 2020 | Rojas will likely make the active roster when the 2020 season begins late July, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rosters will be expanded to 30 players for the first two weeks of the season, which creates space for a few players that were competing for the final available roster spots. Players such as Rojas, John Jay and Ildemaro Vargas can be carried for the first two weeks before rosters are cut to 28 for the subsequent two weeks. Rojas' ability to play outfield and infield should give him a leg up when the rosters are eventually dropped to 26. |
|
Mar 14 2020 | Rojas has been playing shortstop and second base during spring training games, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas, who came to Arizona in the Zack Greinke trade last year, played primarily in the outfield during his 41-game stint in the majors. "He's getting a lot of his time as an infielder because I only was able to evaluate him prior to this year as an outfielder," manager Torey Lovullo said. He'd played a variety of positions in the minors and is being eyed as an infielder/outfielder for 2020, which could give him an edge while vying to be the team's 26th man. |
|
Sep 17 2019 | Rojas isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas will retreat to the bench with a southpaw in Caleb Smith set to toe the rubber for the opposition. Tim Locastro draws the start in left field and is set to lead off. |
|
Sep 11 2019 | Rojas will sit Wednesday against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas hits the bench after starting 11 straight games, a stretch in which he recorded a strong .308/.400/.538 slash line. Tim Locastro gets the nod in left field. |
|
Sep 4 2019 | Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rojas, who has collected six hits in the last two games, told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that he's finally feeling comfortable at the plate, three weeks into his MLB tenure. "I'm seeing pitches well, I'm staying in the zone a lot better, not swinging at pitches out of the zone like I was early when I first came up," Rojas said. "I do feel better, but I couldn't say why that is." The Arizona native has hit safely in six straight games, going 10-for-22 with two home runs, two doubles, six runs and six RBI. |
