Rojas started in left field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas had his contract selected from Triple-A Reno on Monday and was immediately put to work. With David Peralta battling neck stiffness, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo gave the left-handed-hitting Rojas an opportunity against Colorado right-hander Peter Lambert. Rojas has put up strong numbers at Triple-A this season and is an intriguing bat with defensive versatility.

The Diamondbacks selected Rojas' contract from Triple-A Reno ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old Rojas didn't enter this season with much buzz in prospect circles, but he put himself on the radar by slashing .315/.403/.575 with 20 home runs and 32 steals between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Round Rock in Houston's organization before he was one of four minor-league players sent to Arizona on July 31 in the Zack Greinke deal. Rojas continued to mash at Triple-A Reno, going 18-for-35 with eight extra-base hits in eight games with the affiliate before getting his first call to the big leagues. He'll likely see most of his initial opportunities at second base, with Ketel Marte likely shifting to center field on the occasions Rojas starts.

Rojas is batting .514/.575/.943 with three home runs and 14 RBI over eight games at Triple-A Reno.
EDGE Analysis
Rojas was acquired by the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, part of the return from the Astros for Zack Greinke. He plays multiple positions in the infield and outfield, bouncing around left field, right field, third base and shortstop. He could be of use at corner outfield in Arizona. The Diamondbacks' corner outfielders have collectively slugged .341 in 39 games since June 23.
