Rojas will sit against lefty Framber Valdez and the Astros on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas has started 10 times since moving from Arizona to Seattle at the deadline, but all 10 of those stars have come against righties. Rojas actually owns a marginally higher wRC+ against lefties (92) than against righties (89) for his career, but the Mariners seem set on using him in a platoon role at second base. Dylan Moore will handle the keystone Saturday.

EDGE Analysis
Rojas delivered a clutch RBI knock in the ninth, knotting the score at 5-5 at the time. After an 0-for-13 start to his Mariners tenure, Rojas' bat has come to life -- he's gone 5-for-10 with Monday's double, two RBI, a walk and five runs over the subsequent four contests.

Rojas will not start Saturday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas has started against five of the seven lefties the Mariners have faced since he joined the club, but he's been on the bench against all three lefties, including Saturday's starter Cole Irvin. He's gone just 2-for-17 at the plate for his new team, so he isn't doing much to earn a sudden uptick in playing time. Jose Caballero will start at second base Saturday.
