Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Shota Imanaga will be the third consecutive left-handed starter the Mariners have faced, so Rojas will once again step out of the lineup in favor of Luis Urias, who will start at third base and bat eighth.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Friday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Jordan Wicks will start Friday's contest on the mound for Chicago, meaning the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base instead while batting ninth.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto, Rojas and fellow left-handed hitter Dominic Canzone will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will fill in for Rojas at third base, while Dylan Moore replaces Canzone in left field.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a loss to the Brewers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a busy afternoon for Rojas, who also pitched the eighth inning of the lopsided loss and gave up a two-run home run to William Contreras. Rojas' exploits at the plate were much more noteworthy, however, as the 29-year-old extended a season-opening hot streak that sees him now boasting a .412 average and .915 OPS across his first 18 plate appearances.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter southpaw Logan Allen, so Rojas will retreat to the bench along with Dominic Canzone. Dylan Moore will replace Canzone in left field, while Luis Urias spells Rojas at third base.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a run in an extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas was the only Mariner to record more than one hit in the low-scoring marathon affair. The 29-year-old has hit safely in each of his first two games, and he should continue seeing fairly regular playing time at both second base and third base moving forward.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Friday against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas started at third base for the Mariners on Opening Day and went 1-for-2, but he will get a day off Friday. Luis Urias will cover the hot corner instead and bat ninth.

Rojas is hitting .357 (5-for-13) with two doubles, a home run, five RBI, three walks, a stolen base and three runs over his first seven Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas went 1-for-2 with an RBI single, a bases-loaded walk and a run in the Mariners' Cactus League win over the Royals on Wednesday, his latest taste of spring success. The 29-year-old produced a solid .272/.321/.400 line over 46 games after coming to Seattle in a trade with the Diamondbacks last season, and he appears set to primarily split time with Luis Urias at third base while also occasionally filling in for Jorge Polanco at second in the coming season.

Rojas, who's projected to fill the strong side of an infield platoon with Dylan Moore, is now likelier to do so at third base rather than second as a result of the Jorge Polanco trade, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kramer notes that Polanco should play either second base or shortstop based on his big-league resume. As a result, Rojas -- who contributed a solid .272 batting average and .721 OPS across 134 plate appearances after his trade from the Diamondbacks last season -- could see the majority of his time at the hot corner. Offseason arrival Luis Urias is also a candidate to see time at third base. Rojas could end up in a super-utility role instead, as he's played every position except catcher, first base and center field during his five-year MLB career.

The Mariners and Rojas avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.1 million contract Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas had been in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The 29-year-old infielder posted a .589 OPS with the Diamondbacks in 2023 before putting up a .721 OPS following a trade to the Mariners. Rojas looks to be at the top of Seattle's second-base depth chart, although he'll have to hold off others.
