Rojas (hand) is starting Thursday against the Dodgers.

Rojas (hand) was available off the bench if needed for Tuesday's game, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks did not use Rojas in their 8-6 win over the Royals. The infielder took infield and batting practice ahead of Tuesday's series finale with Kansas City, but manager Torey Lovullo preferred to "stay away" from using Rojas if possible. With a scheduled day off Wednesday, Rojas will get another 24 hours of healing in before the series opener against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas will be on the bench for the third game in a row due to a bruised left hand. With Rojas' main replacement in the lineup, Drew Ellis, exiting Monday's 9-5 win with side discomfort and also taking a seat Tuesday, the Diamondbacks will break in Jake Hager at third base.

Rojas (hand) isn't starting Monday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas sustained a bruised left hand in Saturday's win over the Cubs and will be held out of the lineup for a second straight game, even with right-hander Zack Greinke on the mound for Kansas City on Monday. Drew Ellis will remain at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Rojas will sit out Sunday's series finale after suffering a bruised left hand in Saturday's 7-6 win, but it's unclear if the injury or the fact that southpaw Wade Miley is on the hill for Chicago is what's keeping him out of the lineup. Regardless, newly recalled Drew Ellis will fill in at third base for Rojas.

Rojas left Saturday's game against the Cubs with a left hand contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Adding insult to injury, the bruise occured when Rojas was struck in the hand by a pitch that he swung at and struck out on, but he's at least escaped without a serious injury. He may need some time off to wait for his swelling and soreness to subside, but it appears that he's avoided the longer absence which would come with a fracture. Yonny Hernandez replaced him and could see some extra playing time if Rojas winds up being forced to sit for a few days.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the top of the first inning, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas swung when he was hit by a pitch, so he struck out during his lone plate appearance Saturday and was replaced defensively in the bottom of the first. The severity of the 27-year-old's injury isn't yet clear, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day. If Rojas misses additional time, Yonny Hernandez should see increased work at the hot corner.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with three home runs, four RBI and a strikeout in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas failed to record an extra-base hit in his first 13 games of the season, but he experienced a power surge at Wrigley Field on Friday. The 27-year-old has crossed the plate in five of the last six games and has gone 7-for-19 with three homers, seven runs, six RBI and a steal during that time.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas' single in the fourth inning knocked in the winning run while also extending his on-base streak 13 games, every one since being activated off the injured list May 6. He later walked and stole his third base of the season. With Nick Ahmed (undisclosed) sidelined, there hasn't been a need for manager Torey Lovullo to juggle three infielders -- Rojas, Ahmed and Geraldo Perdomo -- among shortstop and third base.
