Contract selected The Royals selected Rojas' contract from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Impact Rojas will receive another opportunity in the majors after slashing .246/.309/.433 with six home runs and a 16:32 BB:K over 48 games with Omaha. The 31-year-old will provide infield depth while Maikel Garcia (hamstring) is banged up, and Rojas is capable of handling the outfield, as well.

Grabs NRI pact from Royals The Royals signed Rojas to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rojas slashed just .180/.252/.259 over 69 games for the White Sox in 2025 before being released in August. The 31-year-old's defensive versatility will give him a shot to earn a spot on the Royals' Opening Day roster, but the better bet is that he begins the season at Triple-A Omaha.

Becomes free agent The White Sox released Rojas on Saturday.

Impact Rojas was booted off Chicago's 40-man roster last week and shortly after that was officially cut loose. The versatile Rojas has slashed just .180/.252/.259 in 211 plate appearances this season, but he could get a look from an organization in need of an experienced utility player.

White Sox finally make the smart roster decision that was long overdue The Chicago White Sox have designated Josh Rojas for assignment, replacing him with catcher Korey Lee on the active roster.

White Sox recall catcher Korey Lee from Triple-A Charlotte

The Chicago White Sox have recalled catcher Korey Lee from Triple-A Charlotte and designated infielder Josh Rojas for assignment

AUGUST 22, 2025 • Associated Press

Cut from 40-man roster The White Sox designated Rojas for assignment Friday.

Impact Rojas hasn't logged an at-bat since August 10 as the White Sox opt to give younger players more action in the final stretch of the regular season. The 31-year-old utility player didn't give the team much of a boost at the plate either, slashing .180/.252/.259 with two home runs and four stolen bases in 211 plate appearances. Should he go unclaimed, Rojas will have the option of electing free agency or remaining within the White Sox organization. Korey Lee was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Canzone hits walk-off single in 11th and Mariners top White Sox 4-3 for 3-game sweep

Dominic Canzone singled home the winning run in the 11th inning and the Seattle Mariners completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox with a 4-3 victory

Sitting against righty again Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Impact The White Sox have two openings in the infield after Chase Meidroth (thumb) joined Miguel Vargas (oblique) on the injured list Thursday, but Rojas may not be in line to take on a regular role while the two players are on the shelf. After a stretch of five consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Rojas now finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher (Logan Gilbert). Chicago will go with Lenyn Sosa at second base and Brooks Baldwin at third base in the series finale.

Taking seat Wednesday Rojas isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Seattle.

Impact Rojas will get a breather after beginning the month 2-for-12 with a home run and two walks through four games. Brooks Baldwin will start at the hot corner instead and bat ninth.

Nabbing fourth straight start Rojas will start at second base and will bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact He will cover second base Sunday while Chase Meidroth (thumb) is on the bench for the third game in a row, but Rojas could be in store for regular playing time at third base once Meidroth rejoins the lineup. Rojas had started in each of the previous three contests, going 2-for-10 with a solo home run, a double and a walk.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Homers from nine-spot in win Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Rojas has homered in back-to-back games after he added a big insurance run to the White Sox tally in the top of the ninth inning. That brings his season total up to three on the season, a good stretch of baseball for the 31-year-old in what's been an otherwise forgettable campaign. The infielder is slashing a mere .176/.246/.261 on the season, with his .508 OPS on pace to be the worst mark of his career in a season in which he's played at least 60 games.

White Sox CF Luis Robert Jr. sidelined for 2nd straight game because of adductor soreness

White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. missed his second straight game because of adductor soreness

Sitting against righty Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Rojas had been excluded from the lineup in three of the past four games while the White Sox faced three lefty starters, but he'll be on the bench Monday against a righty (Shane Baz). For the season, Rojas is batting just .177/.243/.244 with one home run and four stolen bases in 182 plate appearances. Given his poor production along with the fact that he's on an expiring contract, Rojas could be at risk of moving into a bench role -- or potentially getting cut -- if the White Sox aren't able to find a taker for him prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

JULY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Rojas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Rojas has a .461 OPS through 11 games in July and will sit for the second time in Chicago's first three contests of the second half. Colson Montgomery will shift to the hot corner while Chase Meidroth starts at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa mans second base.
