Busy on basepaths in twin bill Rojas went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Padres.

Impact The 24-year-old swiped a bag in each end of the twin bill, getting the start in center field in the matinee before coming on as a pinch runner in the nightcap. Rojas hasn't been caught stealing since May 25 and has gone 11-for-13 on stolen base attempts this season, but that remains his only reliable fantasy skill -- he's slashing .227/.278/.303 through 148 plate appearances with one homer, 15 RBI and 19 runs.

Back in lineup vs. lefty Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Rojas continues to be used in a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh, but Rojas' opportunities have been scarce of late while the Phillies faced right-handed starting pitchers in each of the previous 11 games. Rojas will draw back into the starting nine on Sunday in place of Marsh while southpaw David Peterson toes the rubber for the Mets.

Records steal in win Rojas went 1-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Rojas remains in a part-time role, but he has struggled at the plate lately. He's just 2-for-19 with a 2:6 BB:K and two steals over his last nine games while pushing for playing time in center field. Rojas has always had more speed than power, which makes him more effective off the bench at times. He's batting .258 with one home run, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven thefts across 101 plate appearances, mostly as a short-side platoon option.
