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.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in a 3-1 victory over San Diego on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Batting leadoff, Rojas singled and stole second in the first inning while tacking on walks in the fifth and seventh to reach base three times for the third time this month. Through 16 July games, the 28-year-old is slashing .339/.431/.536 with an impressive eight doubles, nine walks and three thefts. Rojas concludes the first half with a .271/.344/.407 slash line, five home runs, 34 runs, 26 RBI and eight stolen bases in 61 games.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Rojas' doubles accounted for his three RBI as he helped the Diamondbacks strengthen their lead in the seventh and eighth innings. The 28-year-old has already racked up five multi-hit efforts in nine games in July, matching his number of such performances from 24 contests in June. The infielder's success at the plate has lifted his batting average 36 points from .248 at the end of June to .284 after Saturday's contest. He's added a .787 OPS, five home runs, 26 RBI, 34 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 13 doubles through 221 plate appearances this year.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas did all he could from the top of the order. He hit a solo shot in the first inning, knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the fourth and added an RBI on a fielder's choice in the ninth. He continues to hit well in July -- the 28-year-old has gone 11-for-24 (.458) with two steals, five RBI, eight runs and six doubles in his last eight contests. For the season, the infielder has a .275/.343/.423 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, 33 runs scored and seven steals through 53 games. His place in Arizona's lineup is fairly secure, as he hits leadoff versus righties and in the bottom half of the order versus southpaws.

Rojas went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas stole his sixth base in 52 games without being caught during the seventh inning but was stranded at second base. The utility infielder was active on the basepaths in the minors, notching double-digit steals in 2018 and 2019, but Rojas has been slightly less aggressive at the major-league level.

Rojas went 1-for-1 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas came off the bench to pinch hit for third baseman Jake Hager with Arizona down 2-1. Leading off the inning against an infield shift and down 0-2 in the count to San Francisco righty Dominic Leone, the lefty batter laid a perfect bunt down the third base line, getting on base to ignite a five-run rally. Rojas will occasionally sit against left-handed starters but should not be a candidate for a platoon. He's slashed .269/.346/.378 against port-siders during his career and .260/.339/.340 in 2022.
