Rojas isn't in Arizona's lineup for Friday's game with the Dodgers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After going 4-for-7 with three RBI over his last two games, Rojas will take a seat as fellow lefty Clayton Kershaw prepares to start on the mound for Los Angeles. Evan Longoria will take over in the hot corner and bat fifth.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has four hits, two doubles, three RBI and a stolen base in the last two games. He's settling into what appears to be the strong side of a platoon at third base with Evan Longoria.

Rojas is batting leadoff Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has been in the leadoff spot in each one of his starts so far this season, though he's also been sitting regularly against lefties. He'll kick things off for the Diamondbacks on Thursday versus right-hander Dustin May.

Rojas batted leadoff and went 3-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-6 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks' offense came alive for the first time this season, with most of the production coming in the final four innings Tuesday when Arizona scored seven runs. Much of it can be chalked up to small ball, including Rojas' perfectly-executed slide into home on a double steal. Those were two of five stolen bases for Arizona. Rojas has shared third base with Evan Longoria, getting starts against right-handers. After an off-day, the D-backs return to action Thursday against the Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Rojas will sit for the third time in five games this season, with all of his absences coming against left-handed pitching. Despite his lower usage thus far, Rojas should see the larger share of playing time at third base this season while the righty-hitting Evan Longoria seemingly fills a short-side platoon role.

Rojas is starting at third base and batting leadoff for the Diamondbacks on Friday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas was on the bench in favor of Evan Longoria for the opener with the Dodgers throwing left-hander Julio Urias, but he'll start and lead off versus righty Dustin May. It figures to be a pretty regular platoon between the two this season, although Rojas offers the versatility to play multiple other positions, as well.

Rojas (legs) will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's Cactus League split-squad game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has been dealing with some tightness in both of his legs and hasn't played in a spring game since March 8, but the Diamondbacks' decision to hold him out of action looks to have been mostly precautionary. The 28-year-old has moved between third base and second base over his first eight spring games, perhaps signaling that the Diamondbacks envision him filling more a utility role in 2023.

Rojas (legs) is expected to play Wednesday, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has been held out of action while he deals with tightness in his legs. He has not played since the middle of last week.

Rojas has been scratched from Sunday's Cactus League lineup against the Rockies for undisclosed reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has been replaced in the lineup by Buddy Kennedy, who will hit seventh and play third base. There should be an update shortly as to why the veteran infielder is out of the lineup.

Rojas will earn $2.575 million in 2023 after losing his arbitration hearing to the Diamondbacks, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas had filed at $2.9 million in what was his first year of arbitration eligibility as a Super 2 qualifier. The 28-year-old put up a .739 OPS with nine home runs and 23 stolen bases for the Diamondbacks last season. Most of his playing time in 2023 will probably come at third base, although he figures to bounce around and could get starts in the designated hitter spot, too.
