On bench Wednesday Rojas is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Impact Mookie Betts will start at shortstop and bat leadoff with Jason Heyward handling right field and hitting sixth. Rojas has slashed .229/.264/.275 with zero home runs and five stolen bases through 48 games (163 plate appearances) this season for the Dodgers.

Not in Sunday's lineup Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Rojas started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 6-for-16 with a double, two stolen bases and two runs during that stretch. Mookie Betts will receive a look at shortstop Sunday while Jason Heyward starts in right field.

Records another steal Rojas went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

Impact Four of Rojas' five steals this season have come over his last 11 games, a span in which he's gone 11-for-40 (.275). That's an improvement on his season batting average of .231, as the shortstop has struggled early in the season and is still getting back on track. He's yet to hit a home run and has added just six RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles with a meager .535 OPS over 156 plate appearances.

Swipes fourth bag Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the White Sox.

Impact Rojas notched his second straight two-hit performance and nabbed his first theft since the final day of May. The shortstop's sprint speed ranks in the 30th percentile leaguewide, but he's shown some savviness on the basepaths with 31 steals in 39 attempts over the past three-plus seasons. However, he's getting on base at a paltry 25.8 percent clip on the campaign and has yet to hit a homer, so he's not much of an asset outside of some deep fantasy formats.

Sitting Tuesday Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Rojas is just 1-for-13 across his last four games and will get Tuesday off to regroup. Mookie Betts will come in to play shortstop while Rojas sits, allowing Jason Heyward to start in right field and bat fourth.

Heads to bench Rojas will sit Saturday against Philadelphia, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Impact Rojas left Wednesday's game against the Reds with neck tightness and sat out Thursday's contest with the same issue, but he returned Friday and went 0-for-4 at the plate. He'll sit again Saturday, though it's unclear whether that's for health or tactical reasons. The veteran's .214/.248/.256 season slash line means he's fallen short of a true everyday role even when healthy. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop Saturday.

Hitless in return Rojas (neck) returned to the lineup against Philadelphia on Friday and went 0-for-4 in the 5-4 loss.

Impact Rojas sat out Thursday due to neck tightness but missed only one contest. The veteran has worked as Los Angeles' primary shortstop this season, though he's produced a mediocre .217/.248/.256 slash line over 137 plate appearances. Rojas does have three stolen bases, but he's yet to go deep and has knocked in only six runs.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Rojas (neck) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Cincinnati.

Impact Rojas exited Wednesday's contest versus the Reds with neck tightness and will miss at least one start. The Dodgers will go with Chris Taylor at shortstop for Thursday's afternoon tilt.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with neck tightness Rojas left Wednesday's game against the Reds due to neck tightness.

Impact It's unclear how severe Rojas' injury is at the moment, but the Dodgers should provide additional updates in the near future. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rojas is 4-for-12 with a double, two stolen bases and three RBI in the past three games but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop and bat ninth against New York righty Domingo German.

Impact Rojas owns a .545 OPS in 16 games since returning from a strain hamstring, though that at least beats his .356 OPS from his 11 games prior to the injury. He'll hit the bench Saturday with Chris Taylor taking over at shortstop.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Wednesday Rojas is not in the starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Phillies' Trea Turner might’ve stayed with Dodgers if they’d offered. Now, a void remains

Not starting first game back Rojas is not in the starting lineup against the Phillies on Monday.

Impact Rojas came off the injured list ahead of Monday's game against Philadelphia, but the shortstop is not expected to be an everyday player in his initial return. Mookie Betts is starting at shortstop again Monday and will hit in his traditional leadoff spot.

MAY 1, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Comes off IL The Dodgers reinstated Rojas (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Phillies.

Impact Los Angeles designated catcher Austin Wynns for assignment to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Rojas, who was sidelined for approximately two weeks with the left hamstring strain. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts mentioned over the weekend that Rojas likely won't be a full-time starter in the infield immediately upon his return from the IL, but the 34-year-old is projected to assume the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Chris Taylor shifts back into a utility role.

Good chance to return Monday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Saturday's game against the Cardinals that Rojas (hamstring) will play five innings at shortstop for Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday...

Impact Rojas was placed on the injured list on April 19 with his left hamstring strain, so this would be a return just a little after eligibility for the shortstop. The 34-year-old veteran has dealt with injuries throughout the month of April and also during the Cactus League, but he'll get a chance to return to starting shortstop duties in the early part of May.

Will need rehab assignment Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Rojas (hamstring) will need a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports...

Impact Rojas has been able to do agility drills/running and is scheduled to take batting practice before Wednesday's game, but the shortstop won't be able to return without playing in a few minor-league contests. When that rehab assignment takes place will at least be partially determined by how he looks during the BP session.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To take live BP on Wednesday Rojas (hamstring) is scheduled to take live batting practice Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The bigger test for Rojas will be agility drills and running, but he is at least back to doing some amount of baseball activity a week after straining his hamstring. Mookie Betts is making a second straight start at shortstop for the Dodgers on Tuesday night at Pittsburgh.
