Rojas went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas' two steals Sunday were his first since May 29 -- he's now 8-for-8 on stolen base attempts this season. The 29-year-old Rojas has been swinging the bat better of late, going 8-for-25 (.320) with a home run over his last eight contests while serving as Seattle's primary second baseman. Overall, Rojas is slashing .225/.286/.300 with 31 runs scored and 30 RBI across 256 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this season.

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.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a loss to the Royals on Monday.

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.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The trade-deadline acquisition had received sparse opportunities and had yet to record a hit with the Mariners since arriving from the Diamondbacks, but that changed in a notable way Friday. Rojas, whose yet to leave the yard this season in 231 plate appearances, should have a chance to claim everyday playing time at second base now that Kolten Wong has been jettisoned and attempt to rediscover his mysteriously absent power stroke.

Rojas is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Dylan Moore will start at second base and bat ninth versus the Padres and right-hander Nick Martinez. Rojas has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and zero walks since joining the Mariners in a July 31 trade from the Diamondbacks.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas will sit in favor of Jose Caballero with a lefty (Tyler Anderson) on the mound for the opposition, just as he did Friday. It's looking a lot like a platoon at the keystone, with Rojas handling the strong-side role. Rojas is 0-for-6 in two games since coming over from Arizona at the trade deadline.

Rojas is not in the lineup Wednesday versus Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Diamondbacks on Monday as part of the Paul Sewald trade, Rojas went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his Mariners debut Tuesday against the Red Sox. Dylan Moore (wrist) is back in the lineup at second base Wednesday.

Rojas was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Mariners on Monday along with Dominic Canzone and Ryan Bliss in exchange for Paul Sewald, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas, 29, is in the midst of his worst season since 2020, as he is slashing .228/.292/.296 with zero home runs and six steals in 59 games. He has essentially been a replacement-level player (minus-0.1 fWAR), and Rojas will contend with Kolten Wong and Jose Caballero for playing time in Seattle.

Rojas started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas returned to the majors after the Diamondbacks placed Evan Longoria (back) on the injured list Saturday. The lefty-hitting Rojas will share the hot corner with the righty-swinging Emmanuel Rivera, thought it's uncertain if it will be a strict right-left platoon.
