Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
It took a string of six at-bats without a hit for Rojas to acclimate following downtime due to a dislocated finger, but the infielder's bat is cooking right now. He has 13 hits in the 19 at-bats (.684) with six extra-base hits and five RBI over the last five games. He's sharing second base with Josh VanMeter but started at shortstop Tuesday. Both of those versatile infielders are hitting, which could lead to more time at short for Rojas, ahead of Nick Ahmed.

Rojas went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI and a walk in a 12-3 victory against the Padres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas singled in the first, walked and scored in the second, doubled and scored in the fourth, singled in the sixth and brought home two runs with a single in the seventh. The 27-year-old enjoyed his best game of the season and broke out of an 0-for-6 slump following a stint on the IL. Reaching base five times increased his on-base percentage a substantial seven points in just one game.

Rojas entered Wednesday's game in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter then finished up in right field. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas was reinstated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and started at second base, then was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Arizona's primary right fielder, Kole Calhoun, injured his hamstring in the second inning, and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo first had Pavin Smith cover for him before Rojas entered the contest. While the injury could create more starting opportunities for Rojas, he is considered primarily a second baseman.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. While he should still see plenty of playing time now that he's healthy, Josh VanMeter will take over at second base and lead off Wednesday.

Rojas started at second base, batted eighth, and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game and immediately reclaimed a spot in the starting lineup. He presaged his return by hitting three home runs for Triple-A Reno on Sunday. The 27-year-old utility man will primarily play second base, but Rojas could be used at shortstop or right field when the Diamondbacks want to get Josh VanMeter in the lineup.

Rojas (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas landed on the shelf just after the All-Star break with a dislocated left pinky finger, but he'll rejoin the active roster Tuesday after a three-game rehab assignment. The 27-year-old should reclaim the starting role at second base, shifting Josh VanMeter back to a bench role. Jake Hager was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Rojas (finger) went 3-for-4 with three home runs, a walk and four RBI on Sunday in the third game of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to his big day at the dish, Rojas played a full nine innings at second base, suggesting that he's ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks. He's expected to reclaim an everyday role at the keystone, putting an end to the platoon of Josh VanMeter and Jake Hager that the Diamondbacks had been rolling with at the position of late.
