The White Sox placed Rojas (toe) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas is working his way back from a hairline fracture in his right big toe, an injury he sustained in mid-March. While Rojas is on the mend from the injury, the White Sox will likely turn to Lenyn Sosa and Brooks Baldwin to pick up most of the starts at second base.

Rojas (toe) remains out of Chicago's spring lineup Sundy and is likely to begin the season on the injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old sustained a hairline fracture in his right big toe in mid-March, and it appears he won't have enough time to get healthy before Thursday's season opener. Once healthy, Rojas is expected to operate as the primary second baseman against right-handed pitching for the White Sox. Lenyn Sosa and Brooks Baldwin are the main candidates to fill in at the keystone in the meantime.

Rojas (toe) hopes to be back on the field in 3-to-4 days after working out and riding a stationary bike Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear whether returning to a field means resuming baseball activities or playing in games. Rojas is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, but it's a pain tolerance issue so it's possible he will be able to avoid the injured list. If healthy, Rojas projects to be the White Sox's primary second baseman against right-handed pitching.

White Sox manager Will Venable said Monday that Rojas has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas suffered the injury during Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rockies. Venable was unwilling to rule Rojas out for Opening Day, as the skipper described the injury as a pain-tolerance situation that the 30-year-old infielder might be able to play through. If Rojas begins the season on the injured list, the White Sox would have room on the roster for an extra infielder such as Brooks Baldwin, Bryan Ramos, Jacob Amaya or Brandon Drury.

Rojas left in the forth inning of Saturday's spring game against Colorado due to soreness in his right big toe.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas went 0-for-2 before being replaced by Jordan Sprinkle at third base. An update on Rojas' injury should be made once he undergoes further testing on his right big toe. Rojas had gone 10-for-30 with two walks, two RBI and six runs scored in spring training heading into Saturday's game.

Rojas is expected to begin the regular season as the White Sox's second baseman, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas joined the White Sox this winter and is one of the few established veterans who is projected to be on the Opening Day roster. While he's played the majority of his career at third base, he's also been roughly an average defensive second baseman. Rojas has also had a decent spring at the plate, maintaining a .304 batting average with two extra-base hits and two stolen bases across 23 at-bats.

The White Sox agreed to terms with Rojas on a one-year contract Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a good landing spot for playing time for Rojas, who should see close to everyday at-bats in Chicago between second base, third base and shortstop. The 30-year-old slashed just .225/.304/.336 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases across 474 plate appearances for Seattle in 2024. If Rojas bounces back offensively in 2025, he's a likely trade candidate at the deadline.

The Mariners non-tendered Rojas on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas will enter free agency coming off a 2024 regular season in which he slashed .225/.304/.336 with 10 stolen bases, eight home runs and 31 RBI over 474 plate appearances. The 30-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of a lefty-hitting infielder.

Rojas is absent from Friday's lineup against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the A's sending southpaw JP Sears to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Rojas will take a seat for the second day in a row while Houston sends another southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi) to the bump. Dylan Moore will spell Rojas at third base.
