Rojas went 1-for-3 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
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. With right-hander Noah Davis on the hill for Colorado on Saturday, expect Rojas back in the starting lineup and leading off for the Diamondbacks.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday at Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be a right-handed-heavy attack for the Diamondbacks with left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. Rojas has a .711 OPS this year against righties and a .522 OPS versus lefties.

Rojas started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas returned to the lineup after getting Monday off and was back at leadoff. The infielder has slumped of late, going hitless over the last 13 at-bats. With left-hander Cale Yarborough scheduled to throw Wednesday, Rojas could get another off day while Evan Longoria mans the hot corner.

Rojas started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to Miami.
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.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas continues to rake. This was his fourth three-hit game in nine starts, and he leads the team with 14 hits and a .412 batting average. The key for Rojas, who was benched several times last year for shoddy defense, is maintaining a dependable glove. He's done that thus far, albeit in a small sample size, and is currently tied for the most outs above average among third basemen, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic.

Rojas started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 3-0 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
The hot-hitting Rojas, who typically sits out against lefties, got the start in place of Kyle Lewis (illness) against Brewers southpaw Wade Miley. The move paid dividends immediately, as Rojas singled home Ketel Marte, who had doubled to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Rojas has a five-game hit streak, going 11-for-20 with three doubles, five RBI and five runs scored during that stretch. The Brewers will throw righty Corbin Burnes on Tuesday, so expect Rojas in the lineup, either at DH or third base.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas set the tone early for the Diamondbacks, leading off with a single, stealing second base then coming home on Pavin Smith's double. This was Rojas' third three-hit game, and he extended a hit streak to four. If his defense holds up, Rojas should continue as the strongside of a platoon at third base.
