Sent down to minors The Guardians optioned Rocchio to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Impact Rocchio was the Guardians' primary shortstop last season and began this year in the same role, but his playing time had fallen off considerably in recent weeks amidst a .165/.235/.198 slash line in his first 35 contests. Gabriel Arias has been seeing the lion's share of the reps at shortstop lately and will continue to do so.

Sits out entire series Rocchio did not appear in the recently completed three-game series against the Phillies.

Impact Rocchio watched Gabriel Arias start all three games against Philadelphia and hasn't played since last Wednesday. It's been a challenging start to the season offensively for Rocchio, who has zero hits and walks over his last 28 at-bats. He sports a .165/.235/.198 slash line through 35 games. Arias (.735 OPS) and Daniel Schneemann (.888 OPS) are holding down the middle infield.

Playing time slipping again Rocchio is not in Saturday's lineup against the Phillies.

Back on bench as struggles continue Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact After he was held out of the lineup Tuesday and Wednesday, Rocchio drew starts at shortstop in each of the ensuing three contests, but he went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in those games to bring his average down to .185 on the season. Now back on the bench Sunday, Rocchio looks like he may have to settle for a part-time role in the middle infield while the Guardians have been prioritizing Gabriel Arias and Daniel Schneemann ahead of him.

Could lose everyday role Rocchio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact After going 0-for-4 in Monday's series opener to bring his average down to .205 on the season, Rocchio finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher for the second day in a row. According to Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, manager Stephen Vogt didn't explicitly say that Rocchio has been removed from his everyday role at shortstop, though the skipper noted that Gabriel Arias and Daniel Schneemann are playing better at the moment. With that in mind, Arias and Schneemann seem likely to operate as the Guardians' primary double-play tandem for the time being, though Rocchio could spell the left-handed-hitting Schneemann when the Guardians face left-handed pitching.
