Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio is up to three homers on the year, with two of them coming over his last three games. The infielder has put together a strong August, going 17-for-54 (.315) across 16 games this month while occupying a starting role, primarily at second base. He's up to a .237/.289/.348 slash line with 31 RBI, 20 runs scored and six stolen bases through 77 contests this season, though he is trending upward.

Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-1 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio swatted his second home run of the season in the third inning, when the game was still close. He's hit safely in seven of the last eight contests, going 8-for-27 (.296) with a double, a homer, two steals and four RBI during that stretch. Following a shaky start to the season that resulted in him being sent back down to the minors, Rocchio has hit well since his return. He's produced a .760 OPS over 40 contests since early July and settled in as team's primary second baseman.

Rocchio started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio made contributions with his bat and glove. His run-scoring double in the fourth inning produced the game-winning run. The 24-year-old -- who didn't make his first big-league start at second base until July 26 -- made a diving stop to start an inning-ending double play in the eighth to preserve the Guardians' win. Rocchio's managed to learn a new position while maintaining a strong bat, going 15-for-45 (.333) with five extra-base hits and seven RBI over 13 games since becoming the primary starter at the keystone.

Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio will take a seat after he had started each of the Guardians' previous 24 games while slashing .287/.330/.475 with one home run, 15 RBI and nine runs. Daniel Schneemann will fill in at second base.

Rocchio started at second base in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals. He went a combined 2-for-7 with one walk, two doubles and a run scored.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio remained on the roster following the activation of Gabriel Arias off the IL on Friday, and he was in the starting lineup at second base, with Arias at shortstop, prior to that game being postponed. Both players started at the same positions for both games Saturday. Rocchio has hit .258 since his return to the majors July 1, when he was called up to replace Arias. It looks like the two will occupy the Guardians' middle infield for now, which allows manager Stephen Vogt to move the versatile Daniel Schneemann, who started at two different spots, third base and right field, in Saturday's twin bill, around the diamond as needed.

Rocchio could see a drop in playing time if Gabriel Arias (ankle) is activated this weekend as expected.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio has performed much better during his second stint in the majors this season and has made a case for sticking on the MLB roster. He opened the year as Cleveland's starter at shortstop, but after posting a .433 OPS through 35 games, he was demoted to Triple-A Columbus in early May. Rocchio had an .837 OPS for the Clippers and a .709 mark since his recall in early July when Arias was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Rocchio went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-6 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio's last three hits have gone for doubles, and the shortstop has produced offensively since the Guardians snapped a 10-game losing streak. Over the last eight contests, Rocchio has gone 9-for-27 (.333) with six doubles, a home run and six RBI. He opened the season as Cleveland's primary shortstop and is getting a second chance at the position with Gabriel Arias (ankle) on the injured list. Arias began a rehab assignment Friday and should return soon, but he's not a lock to reclaim the position. Guardians shortstops rank last in average (.193) and on-base percentage (.259) and 28th in OPS (.552)

Rocchio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio connected for his first homer of the season in the fourth inning, which gave the Guardians a 6-1 lead. The shortstop didn't do much initially after being recalled July 1, but he's gone 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in two games to start the series against Houston. Rocchio will continue to get the majority of the starts at shortstop while Gabriel Arias (ankle) recovers on the 10-day injured list.

Rocchio started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio got the start against a left-hander but was removed for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning when a righty reliever entered. He was summoned from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday after the Guardians placed Gabriel Arias (ankle) on the 10-day injured list. Rocchio opened 2025 as the starting shortstop but was sent to the minors May 7 with a .165/.235/.198 line over 35 games. He'll get a chance at redemption for as long as Arias is out, but Rocchio may share shortstop with Daniel Schneemann. The position should be up for grabs, as Cleveland shortstops rank last in average (.183) and OPS (.515).

The Guardians recalled Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio collected an .837 OPS with seven home runs across 41 games with Columbus after being sent down in mid-May. That's after he slashed an ugly .165/.235/.198 slash line in his first 35 contests with the big club. Rocchio could be given another chance at regular playing time at shortstop while Gabriel Arias (ankle) is out, but Daniel Schneemann is also an option at the position.
