Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday marked the first three-hit day of the campaign for Rojas, who doubled to lead off the third inning and later came around to score the first run of the game. Brandon Marsh is still tending to a knee injury, so Rojas should continue to see extra action in center field and experience a short-term boost in fantasy value until the former is healthy. Through his first 33 plate appearances, Rojas is slashing .345/.406/.414 with two doubles, four RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases.

Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas will continue to see limited action as the Phillies' fourth outfielder, with most of his opportunities to play coming when Philadelphia goes up against left-handed pitching. He'll enter the lineup for the fourth time this season Sunday while Max Kepler retreats to the bench against Cardinals southpaw Matthew Liberatore.

Rojas (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Thursday's Grapefruit League contest against Atlanta, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas had been limited to designated hitter duty after suffering a right shoulder injury during the Dominican Winter League, but he's been throwing without issue lately and is finally ready to play the field. The defensive ace is expected to operate as the Phillies' fourth outfielder this season.

Rojas (shoulder) threw to bases Monday and will do so again Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas has been limited to designated hitter duty thus far in Grapefruit League play after suffering a right shoulder injury during the Dominican Winter League. Assuming he gets through Wednesday's session without any hiccups, he'll then be cleared to play center field in a Grapefruit League game, per Phillies manager Rob Thomson. He's expected to be ready for Opening Day and projects as the club's fourth outfielder.

Manager Rob Thomson remains confident that Rojas (shoulder) will be ready to play in the outfield by the time the regular season begins, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas threw from 150 feet Thursday and is expected to throw to bases over the weekend. The defensive-minded outfielder would be more likely to make the Opening Day roster as a bench player if fully healthy, but his shoulder injury has rendered Rojas a strict designated hitter this spring and could leave him in jeopardy of not making the team. Despite batting just .241 this spring and going 0-for-4 during Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Rojas has a .333 on-base percentage to go with two home runs and seven RBI across 29 at-bats as he tries to keep pace with strong springs by Christian Arroyo, Kody Clemens and Buddy Kennedy.

Rojas has yet to do any throwing in Phillies camp after he banged up his right shoulder on a headfirst slide while playing in the Dominican Winter League, Lochlahn March of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies are saying that keeping Rojas from throwing early on in camp is a precautionary measure. Rojas will serve as the team's designated hitter during Grapefruit League play Tuesday and is expected to be cleared to throw early next week. Barring any setbacks, the shoulder issue shouldn't affect Rojas' Opening Day readiness.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas started each of the first three games of the series in center field, but he's picked up just one hit and will begin this contest on the bench. The Phillies will attempt to inject more offense into the lineup, with Brandon Marsh sliding over to center field and Weston Wilson getting the start in left.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas had started in each of the Phillies' last five games, but he may fade into more of a fourth-outfielder role heading into the postseason after Austin Hays returned from the injured list Tuesday. Hays, Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos will likely represent the Phillies' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching, though Rojas could replace the left-handed-hitting Marsh in the lineup when Philadelphia opposes lefties.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas has now been excluded from the lineup in two consecutive matchups with right-handed pitchers and may be at risk of falling into the short side of a platoon in center field. After going 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Mets, the lefty-hitting Cal Stevenson will get another start in center Monday against Brewers righty Aaron Civale.

Rojas will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas will pick up his fourth start in center field in five games. He looks set to fill a near-everyday role in the Philadelphia outfield after Austin Hays (kidney) was placed on the injured list Thursday.
