Projected to start at second base Rojas is expected to begin the regular season as the White Sox's second baseman, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rojas joined the White Sox this winter and is one of the few established veterans who is projected to be on the Opening Day roster. While he's played the majority of his career at third base, he's also been roughly an average defensive second baseman. Rojas has also had a decent spring at the plate, maintaining a .304 batting average with two extra-base hits and two stolen bases across 23 at-bats.

One-year pact with ChiSox The White Sox agreed to terms with Rojas on a one-year contract Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's a good landing spot for playing time for Rojas, who should see close to everyday at-bats in Chicago between second base, third base and shortstop. The 30-year-old slashed just .225/.304/.336 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases across 474 plate appearances for Seattle in 2024. If Rojas bounces back offensively in 2025, he's a likely trade candidate at the deadline.

Non-tendered by Seattle The Mariners non-tendered Rojas on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rojas will enter free agency coming off a 2024 regular season in which he slashed .225/.304/.336 with 10 stolen bases, eight home runs and 31 RBI over 474 plate appearances. The 30-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of a lefty-hitting infielder.

Sitting vs. lefty Rojas is absent from Friday's lineup against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact With the A's sending southpaw JP Sears to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resting against lefty Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Belts eighth homer Friday Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI sacrifice fly in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Julio Rodriguez stole the show with a two-homer, five-RBI outburst, but Rojas made some noise in own right out of the bottom of the order. Rojas left the yard for the first time in 25 games -- a stretch that dated back to Aug. 18 -- with his 390-foot shot to right center in the third inning that opened the scoring on the night. The veteran infielder has been hitting lightly of late, however, and he'd recorded just a pair of knocks over the 25 plate appearances covering the seven games prior to Friday.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus southpaw Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The Mariners entered Sunday having faced nine straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Rojas posted a .397 OPS while starting all of those games. Luis Urias will take over at the hot corner against Texas lefty Andrew Heaney.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches double-digit steals Rojas went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact Rojas reached on a throwing error in the sixth inning and then stole second base for his 10th pilfer of the season, marking his third straight campaign reaching double digits in that category. The 30-year-old had come into the game on a brief but encouraging four-game surge during which he'd gone 4-for-11, his .232/.310/.348 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement.

Rojas has added a .234/.315/.351 slash line, seven home runs, 26 RBI, 44 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 410 plate appearances, mainly serving as a strong-side platoon option at third base.
