Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas has now occupied center field in eight of the Phillies' nine games since he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 28. Though he's getting on base at a .240 clip since his promotion, Rojas has contributed a pair of stolen bases along with upgrading the Phillies' defense in the outfield. Playing time could be harder to come by for Rojas when Kyle Schwarber (groin) returns from the injured list, however, as Nick Castellanos will see fewer opportunities at designated hitter while taking back a regular spot in right field.

The Phillies recalled Rojas from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas did go 13-for-34 at the plate with Lehigh Valley following a demotion earlier this month, but his quick return to the majors is seemingly more based on need with Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin) going down. Rojas could see some starts in center field as the Phillies deal with the absence of two of their sluggers.

The Phillies optioned Rojas to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas has regressed majorly at the plate this season, slashing just .235/.271/.295 over 58 games. He also hasn't been quite as good defensively, either, and has made some mistakes on the basepaths. With Rojas headed to the minors, the Phillies will go with Brandon Marsh and Cristian Pache as their primary options in center field and David Dahl and Whit Merrifield in left field.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas will take a seat for the second time in the series, hitting the bench while Brandon Marsh -- who returned from the injured list Saturday -- covers center field in his stead. Though Marsh will likely see most of his reps in left field moving forward, his return could cost Rojas more time if he continues to languish at the plate and the Phillies want to open up more at-bats for David Dahl, who had served as the primary replacement in left field for Marsh.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a pair of stolen bases in a loss to the Giants on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas knocked a fourth-inning RBI single and proceeded to steal two bases but was left stranded at third. The outfielder finished with his first multi-hit game in over two weeks amidst a poor month of May during which he's batting only .203 (13-for-64). Despite his struggles reaching base this season -- Rojas' OBP sits at a meager .269 -- he's managed to carve out some fantasy value in deep leagues with 13 stolen bases in 14 attempts.
