The Phillies optioned Rojas to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old will unsurprisingly be the odd man out in the Phillies outfield following the acquisition of Harrison Bader on Thursday. Rojas has yet to find his footing at the plate in the big leagues this season with a .569 OPS in 172 plate appearances.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old swiped a bag in each end of the twin bill, getting the start in center field in the matinee before coming on as a pinch runner in the nightcap. Rojas hasn't been caught stealing since May 25 and has gone 11-for-13 on stolen base attempts this season, but that remains his only reliable fantasy skill -- he's slashing .227/.278/.303 through 148 plate appearances with one homer, 15 RBI and 19 runs.

Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed-hitting Rojas continues to be used in a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh, but Rojas' opportunities have been scarce of late while the Phillies faced right-handed starting pitchers in each of the previous 11 games. Rojas will draw back into the starting nine on Sunday in place of Marsh while southpaw David Peterson toes the rubber for the Mets.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas remains in a part-time role, but he has struggled at the plate lately. He's just 2-for-19 with a 2:6 BB:K and two steals over his last nine games while pushing for playing time in center field. Rojas has always had more speed than power, which makes him more effective off the bench at times. He's batting .258 with one home run, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven thefts across 101 plate appearances, mostly as a short-side platoon option.

Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas began the season in the short side of a platoon in center field with the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh but has now seemingly earned his way into a timeshare at the position. The Phillies are facing a right-handed pitcher (Luis L. Ortiz) for the sixth game in a row Sunday, and Rojas and Marsh have now made three starts apiece during that span.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas had started all 14 games in center field after Brandon Marsh (hamstring) got hurt but will yield to Cal Stevenson on Friday. With Marsh due back as soon as this weekend, Rojas could return to a reserve role shortly.

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.
