Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, double and strikeout in a 7-1 loss to the Cardinals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas accounted for Arizona's lone run with his fifth inning homer off St. Louis starter Wade LeBlanc and later doubled to lead off the seventh but was left stranded. It was the utility man's fourth straight start with two hits as he's 8-for-19 over his past five games though the double and homer tonight were his first extra-base hits in the stretch.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-5 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas manned right field for the first time in a week, as the Diamondbacks juggled the lineup while Ketel Marte works his way back from a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old Rojas has started 10 of the last 11 contests and could continue getting regular at-bats for the team with the worst record in the majors. There is little reason for veterans like Josh Reddick and Asdrubal Cabrera to take playing time from Rojas, who has already set a career high in plate appearances.

Rojas went 3-for-5 and scored two runs in Tuesday's loss to San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
As has been the case often of late, Rojas hit out of the leadoff spot and successfully set the table by registering three singles. He came around to score twice in the first two innings. Since moving to the top of the lineup May 26, he is hitting only .211 but has drilled four homers, collected eight RBI and scored 10 runs over 19 games.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
After turning in his second two-homer game in as many Saturdays, Rojas will retreat to the bench for the series finale in what's likely just a routine rest day. Since settling in as Arizona's primary leadoff man May 26, Rojas is hitting .194 and getting on base at a .275 clip. He doesn't appear at risk of losing hold of a full-time role, though Rojas could end up settling lower in the Arizona lineup more frequently.

Rojas went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo homers in Saturday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas was the star of the show offensively for Arizona in the loss, going deep in the seventh and ninth innings. It was the second two-homer game of the month for the utility man, though he is batting only .184 (7-for-38) overall in June. Rojas ranks second on the team with nine homers on the campaign, though he has knocked in only 20 runs.

EDGE Analysis
Rojas' streaky season continues. The utility player entered the night batting .086 (3-for-35) over the previous 10 games. He's experienced vast stretches of peaks and valleys, batting .200 in April, .320 in May, and .152 thus far in June.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas took little time to snap an 0-for-9 skid at the plate, hitting a leadoff homer in the first inning. He went yard again in the seventh, and both long balls went over the center field fence. The 26-year-old has a .264/.341/.456 slash line with seven homers, 17 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases in 205 plate appearances. He's established himself as a leadoff hitter as well as a versatile option on defense.
