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.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the lineup Tuesday while southpaw Framber Valdez starts on the mound for the Astros. Dylan Moore will man the hot corner instead and bat ninth.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After starting in each of the previous three contests, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench while the Rangers send southpaw Andrew Heaney to the hill. Dylan Moore will replace Rojas as the Mariners' third baseman.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI sacrifice fly in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Julio Rodriguez stole the show with a two-homer, five-RBI outburst, but Rojas made some noise of his own out of the bottom of the order. Rojas left the yard for the first time in 25 games -- a stretch that dated back to Aug. 18 -- with his 390-foot shot to right center in the third inning that opened the scoring on the night. The veteran infielder has been hitting lightly of late, however, and he'd recorded just a pair of knocks over the 25 plate appearances covering the seven games prior to Friday.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas and his .342 OPS against southpaws this season will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday as left-hander Nestor Cortes starts for the Pinstripes. Dylan Moore will pick up a start at the hot corner as a result and bat ninth.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners entered Sunday having faced nine straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Rojas posted a .397 OPS while starting all of those games. Luis Urias will take over at the hot corner against Texas lefty Andrew Heaney.
