Rojas went 0-for-3 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas hadn't drawn a walk since April 23, and he hit just .190 (4-for-21) in that span. The infielder is still regularly hitting leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, but he has a modest .263/.315/.343 slash line through 111 plate appearances this season. He's added 18 BI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases, but he's yet to hit a home run in 28 contests.

Rojas pinch hit for shortstop Nick Ahmed in the seventh inning and remained in the game to play third base. He knocked in a run on a fielder's choice before delivering two more runs on a double in the ninth. The hit snapped an 0-for-15 run for Rojas, who is up to 14 RBI and three steals through 22 games.

EDGE Analysis
Rojas was in the starting lineup for the second time this season against a lefty (Trevor Rogers). Kyle Lewis (illness) opened the season as the DH against southpaws, but he remains out, so manager Torey Lovullo opted for Rojas, who entered the contest with a .412 average and 1.006 OPS.
