Rojas isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has gone 2-for-21 with a run and five strikeouts in the first six games of the 2021 campaign. Josh VanMeter will take over at second base Thursday, batting second.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas is 1-for-16 with one run, two walks and four strikeouts through four games and will take a seat Tuesday. Eduardo Escobar will shift to the keystone while Asdrubal Cabrera receives the start at third base.

Rojas filled in for Nick Ahmed (knee) at shortstop and went 0-for-5 in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas is coming off a productive spring and is expected to see a lot of time at second base when Ahmed is healthy. Manager Torey Lovullo left open the possibility that Ahmed plays Friday but sounded far from certain, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Rojas has hit well this spring, going 18-for-53 with three home runs and a .340/.397/.547 line.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas went on a power tear in early March, swatting all three of his long balls in a two-game span. Nevertheless, he's remained impressive throughout Cactus League play and appears to be securing playing time for himself at second base -- a position that opened after the injury to Kole Calhoun (knee) that will likely shift Ketel Marte primarily to the outfield. If Rojas is able to carry this type of performance through to the regular season, he could continue to earn at-bats as a utility player even after Calhoun is able to return to the field.

Rojas started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's spring game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas has muscled up with three home runs in the last two games. The utility infielder is 5-for-15 with three homers and six RBI over five games, while playing at second base and shortstop. He also has experience in the outfield and has been mentioned as a possible fill-in for injured right fielder Kole Calhoun (knee), but he's not yet played there this spring.

Rojas (back) will start at shortstop and bat sixth Monday in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League game against the Brewers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas ended the 2020 season on the injured list due to a bout of lower-back inflammation, but he appears to be back to full strength for spring training. He was used as a reserve in Sunday's Cactus League opener, going hitless across two at-bats in the Diamondbacks' 5-2 loss to the Rockies. Rojas will be one of several players competing this spring for a utility role on Arizona's Opening Day roster.

Rojas was placed on the injured list with lower-back inflammation Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas' placement on the IL cleared the way for Ketel Marte to be activated. The move ends Rojas' season after 70 plate appearances and a slash line of .180/.257/.180. There could be room for him on the roster as a super utility player in 2021, but a career .567 OPS mitigates the benefits of his versatility.

Rojas (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Lower-back discomfort forced Rojas to leave Sunday's game against the Astros and will cost him at least one start. Ketel Marte returns from a wrist injury to start at second base.

Rojas was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros with low back discomfort, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas was replaced defensively in the bottom of the sixth inning, and the team revealed after the game that he was dealing with low back discomfort. He's currently considered day-to-day.

Rojas is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas started the last three games and will head to the bench after going 1-for-12 with two runs and three walks. Josh VanMeter will receive the start at the keystone in his place.
