Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio hit a single in the sixth inning and scored on an Andres Gimenez homer before going yard himself in the eighth. Over his last six games, Rocchio has gone 7-for-19 (.368) with two homers and five RBI. That hot bat has helped him keep a spot in the lineup at shortstop on a regular basis. He's now slashing .215/.301/.331 with eight homers, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles across 384 plate appearances this year.

Rocchio went 1-for-1 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

The Cleveland shortstop opened the game's scoring in the second inning innocuously with a sacrifice fly. Rocchio then returned to blast a 372-foot, two-run homer off reliever Sam Long in the seventh before drawing a bases-loaded walk in the eighth to notch his first career four-RBI performance. The 23-year-old continues to play regularly at shortstop for the Guardians despite slashing .211/.298/.319 with seven homers, 46 runs scored and 31 RBI across 381 plate appearances because his glove keeps him in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians have been rotating multiple players in at shortstop lately, with both Tyler Freeman and Daniel Schneemann having poached starts from Rocchio of late. Even though he's on the bench Tuesday, Rocchio may have helped himself earn a greater share of the playing time at shortstop after going 3-for-5 with a home run in Tuesday's win over New York.

Rocchio went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

This was the first time in Rocchio's major-league career he homered and swiped a bag in the same game. Despite the fantastic effort, the steal was his first since May, and he entered Tuesday having gone just 4-for-24 over his previous 10 games. On the season, the 23-year-old is hitting .210 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 344 plate appearances.

Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Rocchio has now started in three consecutive matchups with a right-handed pitcher and seems to have supplanted Daniel Schneemann -- who has hit the bench in two of those contests -- as the Guardians' preferred option at shortstop. While his .726 OPS since the beginning of August is a stark improvement over his season-long mark of .608, Rocchio's grip on an everyday role would still seem to be tenuous.
