Rojas (back) served as the designated hitter in a game at the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. He went 1-for-3.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas hadn't played since July 1, when Triple-A Reno placed him on the injured list with a lower-back injury. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic that the infielder is "getting his swing back together," which makes it sound like the manager's primary concern is less the back than the swing. Rojas was demoted to the minors June 19 after posting a .607 OPS for the Diamondbacks.

Rojas was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas' season batting line had fallen to .235/.301/.306 and he had started only four of his team's last nine games. The Diamondbacks have ultimately decided it would be best for him to work through his struggles in the minors. Emmanuel Rivera has cooled off recently but could be in line for the bulk of the starts at third base, with Evan Longoria also in the mix.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas started the last three games and will hit the bench Sunday despite the fact righty Tanner Bibee is pitching for Cleveland. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at the hot corner.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Rojas will take a seat while the Diamondbacks face a left-handed starting pitcher for the third time in five games. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at third base in place of Rojas, who appears to be viewed as a strict strong-side platoon player.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Rojas will take a seat for the series finale and for the second straight game while the Tigers bring another lefty (Joey Wentz) to the hill. Evan Longoria will step in for Rojas at third base.

Rojas will be on the bench Saturday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. Both days off have come against lefties, including Saturday's starter, Matthew Boyd. Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at third base.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas earned his day off after he went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win, but he likely would have been on the bench regardless with the Nationals bringing southpaw Patrick Corbin to the hill. Emmanuel Rivera will start at third base and bat second while the lefty-hitting Rojas takes a seat.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas scored a run after a bunt single, knocked in a run on sacrifice fly and gave the Diamondbacks a cushion with a two-run single in the seventh inning. He'd gone through a rough patch, batting .114 over 12 games, but he's now hit safely in three straight (5-for-11). Arizona manager Torey Lovullo noted a change in Rojas' aggressiveness at the plate that began Sunday, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic. "He's just a great, heady player," Lovullo said. "Part of his game is to just be a thorn in the side of the opposition and that charges him up. He ended up doing it again today." Over the last two games, Rojas has bunt singles in each while reaching base five times over eight plate appearances.

Rojas started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-batting Rojas, who was given Friday off against a right-hander, was back in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta's Spencer Strider. Friday's off day notwithstanding, Rojas remains a regular presence against righties, but his overall production has dropped significantly since mid-April. He's hitting .165 (15-for-91) with a .481 OPS over the last 30 games. For the season, Rojas is batting .237 against right-handed pitching.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas will take a seat after he went 0-for-10 with two walks, a run scored and four strikeouts while starting all three games in the Diamondbacks' series with the Rockies. Emmanuel Rivera will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in the series opener with Atlanta.
