Rojas started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas filled in at second base for a second consecutive game with Ketel Marte (hamstring) unavailable. Marte's injury is not considered serious at this point, so Rojas will eventually move back to third base, which is being handled by Emmanuel Rivera for now. It was the fifth start at second for Rojas, who's in danger of losing middle-infielder eligibility in 2023 depending on league requirements.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas stole a base for the third consecutive game and is up to 16, a career high in the majors, and he has not been caught. He hasn't been as prolific a base stealer as when he was a minor leaguer; Rojas stole 38 bags in 2018 and 32 in 2019 before becoming a regular for Arizona.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base and three RBI in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas accounted for half of the Diamondbacks' offense with a two-run home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the ninth. He also logged a steal after a single in the seventh. The 28-year-old hadn't gone yard since July 27, but he's up to three steals in August. For the season, Rojas sports a .276/.348/.410 slash line, seven homers, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and 14 steals through 333 plate appearances. He's seen most of his playing time at third base this year, but the versatile defender could move around the diamond if manager Torey Lovullo opts to get the hot-hitting Emmanuel Rivera in the lineup more often.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak in which he's hit .320 with three doubles, five runs, three RBI and a stolen base. He'll get a breather while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner and bats sixth.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 win against the Rockies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas walked and scored in the first inning and doubled home a run and stole third in the seventh. The 28-year-old has been slumping a bit at the dish of late -- batting 3-for-24 over his last six contests -- but has swiped two bags in his last three games. Rojas is slashing .268/.343/.396 with six home runs, 40 runs, 31 RBI and 13 stolen bases across 74 games.

Rojas went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a 6-3 win Tuesday in Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas walked and stole second in the first inning and is now 12-for-12 in stolen base attempts on the season. The 28-year-old is amid a mini-slump, going 1-for-16 in his last four contests. Overall, he's posted a .268/.344/.397 line that is quite comparable to his .264/.341/.411 line from a season ago.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's 7-0 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Entering Monday, Rojas had never had multiple steals in a major-league game, let alone three. This was also his second straight multi-hit effort. The infielder's rampant running has him up to 11 steals in 65 contests, and he's yet to be caught stealing. He's added a .279/.352/.408 slash line with five home runs, 28 RBI and 36 runs scored through 267 plate appearances.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort, batting .154 (4-for-26) during that slump. All three of his hits Sunday were singles, including one that generated a run in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old is slashing .275/.347/.406 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 36 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 262 plate appearances, and it appears he's retained a starting role at third base even with his recent downturn at the plate.
