Keeps rolling Monday Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Monday.

Impact After delivering a two-hit effort that also included a steal as a late addition to Sunday's lineup, Rojas drew another start at the hot corner and kept up the hot hitting. The 30-year-old's two-bagger was only his second extra-base hit of August, but after a dreadful start to the month, he's now sporting a .269 average and .745 OPS across the 28 plate appearances covering his last eight games.

Busy afternoon in Sunday's win Rojas went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Rojas was a late addition to the lineup after Luke Raley (undisclosed) was scratched shortly before the first pitch. Rojas ended up being a key contributor, as his sixth-inning RBI single provided Seattle with a key insurance run. Despite Sunday's success, August has mostly been a washout for Rojas, however, as he's still sporting just a .167 average and .460 OPS this month across 59 plate appearances while recording just a sole extra-base hit in that span.

Belts seventh homer Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact Rojas delivered his first home run of August in the fourth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 5-0 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Rojas' first since the last time he'd left the yard, July 31, and it snapped an 0-for-12 slump that had encompassed his previous four games. Despite the productive day Sunday, Rojas' bat has lost almost all of its early-season sizzle, as he's carrying a .198 average and .599 OPS over the 62 games he's played since June 1.

Homers in loss Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Rojas gave Seattle its first and only lead in the fifth inning with a solo shot to center field. It was just his second homer during a rough July in which the third baseman batted .200 over 70 at-bats, though he did work 13 walks. Rojas batted leadoff for the first time in six games Wednesday, and that could continue to be his slot in the lineup for as long as Victor Robles (hip) remains out of action.

Big homer in Friday's win Rojas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Rojas made his one hit count, lasering a 386-foot shot to right center in the first inning that brought home Jason Vosler and Mitch Garver. The blast was the first of three straight for the Mariners in the opening frame and snapped a 31-game home-run drought for Rojas, who'd last left the yard June 15. Despite the big hit, Rojas still has a ways to go to bring his numbers back up to par with his early-season body of work, as he's hitting just .158 and sporting an anemic .518 OPS in 66 plate appearances in July.
