Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas will lead off for the team as they face Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres on Opening Day. Rojas is getting the start at shortstop in the game with the team's primary shortstop Nick Ahmed (knee) sidelined with a knee injury. Ahmed is considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old Rojas gives the Diamondbacks some solid versatility as he can play second base, third base and shortstop. He's still trying to find success at the plate in the Majors, though. ...

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 400CURRENT ADP: ~617 overallANALYSIS: Rojas has had trouble getting regular playing time with the DBacks, but that may be changing for 2021.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Josh Rojas clobbered two home run on Friday night in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 win over the Reds. Rojas ended the game 2-for-4 at the plate, driving in all five of Arizona's runs in the game. He has heated up over the last two games as he now has three homers and six RBI in that span, and he is now slashing .333/.375/.933 over five games this spring. He's projected to be a bench bat for now, but if he keeps swinging the hot bat he could be in line for more playing ...

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with back inflammation. The 26-year-old slashed .180/.257/.180 across 61 at-bats in 2020. He never looked comfortable at the plate this season and will now have the entire offseason to better himself. A full-time role in 2021 is not guaranteed at this point as the Diamondbacks have younger options vying for playing time.

After being sent to Arizona in the Zack Greinke trade, Rojas played eight more games in the minors before the club pulled him up to the majors. From that point on, he played almost every day as the Diamondbacks gave him 35 starts, but he provided little fantasy value with a mere .217 average, 2 home runs, and 4 steals. Despite that humble debut, Rojas offers real promise. Before being called up, Rojas was enjoying an excellent season in both AA and AAA. In his 2019 MiLB work, he hit .332 with ...

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie Josh Rojas led the team at the plate on Monday night as he went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored against the Padres. Rojas has homered twice now over his last five games and has five RBI, but Monday's performance was his first multi-hit game since his debut on August 12. Rojas has the potential to be a solid fantasy option, but for now he should be looked at mostly in deeper leagues and NL only leagues, or as a cheap fill in for daily ...

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rojas has been in an awful slump lately, so it's not surprising to see him getting the night off. Tim Locastro will bat second and play left field versus lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu. Locastro has been hot with the bat recently, but he's not a safe DFS option against Ryu.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas will move up in the batting order for Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rojas batted sixth during his first two major league games and had success in those contests. He'll bat second and play right field versus righty Dereck Rodriguez on Thursday. Rojas is 4-for-9 in the MLB, so that might be too small of a sample size to trust in DFS contests. Rodriguez does have a 5.32 ERA, so it's a favorable matchup for Rojas.

While the top prospects likely to debut in 2019 have largely dried up, players coming up from the minors are probably still the best way to add a new dimension to your roster. The Arizona Diamondbacks have summoned Josh Rojas from the minors to play a utility role, and he has a chance to be a godsend for owners looking for steals.If you haven't heard of Aristides Aquino, you've probably been under a rock for the last week and a half. The 25-year old rookie's big league career is off to a ...
