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.

The Diamondbacks recalled Rojas from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The D-backs sent Rojas down to Triple-A in mid-June, and he's since slashed .259/.322/.389 with two homers and eight RBI across 59 plate appearances. He'll return to Arizona to take Evan Longoria's roster spot after Longoria landed on the IL with a back issue.

Rojas (back) has gone 7-for-18 with a home run, a stolen base, four RBI and three runs since being activated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas was sidelined at Triple-A for just over three weeks due to the back injury. Since losing out on a regular starting role at third base for the Diamondbacks and getting optioned to the minors June 19, Rojas is slashing .277/.346/.404 over 52 plate appearances with Reno.

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.
