Looks likely for Opening Day roster Rojas' chances of breaking camp with the Angels appear high after the team optioned infielder Luis Rengifo on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact The move to option Rengifo is a surprise as he was considered a safe bet to land one of the Angels' final roster spots. Franklin Barreto, who was initially considered Rengifo's primary competition for a utility role, is out 4-to-6 weeks with an elbow injury, opening the door for Rojas to claim a spot on the Opening Day roster. Rojas has not played beyond the rookie level in the minors but has impressed this spring with a .321/.487/.607 slash line, two home runs, six RBI and a 10:4 BB:K.
