Rojas went 2-for-4 with his first stolen base of the season in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas had been on the bench since Sunday before getting the start in right field in the series finale in Cincinnati. This was Rojas' second multi-hit game in his last two starts; the full-time experiment did not last long, but perhaps manager Torey Lovullo will ride the hot hand this weekend in Atlanta.

Rojas started at second base, batted leadoff and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas went deep on starter Paolo Espino as the first batter of the game and came around to score two additional runs after a single and a walk. The two hits matched his season total entering Sunday's contest. This is the version of Rojas that showed up in spring training, and the one the Diamondbacks were missing through the first three weeks of the regular season. He had been a lineup staple through the first portion of the season, playing both shortstop and second base, but lost the everyday role after starting 2-for-27. With Tim Locastro (finger) and Ketel Marte (hamstring) sidelined, the Diamondbacks need someone to hit leadoff. That could be Rojas if he continues to hit.

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

EDGE Analysis

Nick Ahmed's return from the injured list Saturday appears to have closed Rojas' window for everyday playing time. Rojas wasn't able to take advantage of the extra opportunities he received to begin the season, going 2-for-27 with a 3:7 BB:K. He'll likely transition into a utility role for Arizona.

Rojas went 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas, who is filling in at shortstop for the injured Nick Ahmed (knee), had his batting average drop to .074 following the game. He opened the season as the primary leadoff hitter but was quickly dropped amid the hitting woes. If fantasy managers haven't benched him yet, news that Ahmed is expected to return this weekend should prompt that move.

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.
