Sun Apr 3 2022 | 17:46 | Josh Rojas Diagnosed With Grade 2 Oblique Strain |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas (oblique) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right oblique strain. According to Diamondbacks manager, Rojas will be out for "weeks, not days." Rojas, who was lined up to start at third base for the D-backs, will be opening the season on the injured list, as will Nick Ahmed (shoulder), who was slated to be the team's starter at shortstop. The right side of the Diamondbacks infield is now up for grabs to start the year. Geraldo Perdomo, one of the team's top prospects, is the leading candidate to open the year as the starter at short. Meanwhile Sergio Alcantara, who was recently acquired in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, is the best bet to start at third. |

Sat Mar 12 2022 | 11:23 | Josh Rojas Ready To Go |
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Josh Rojas (shoulder), who had cleanup surgery on his non-throwing shoulder after last season, said he's "doing really well" and is fully healthy entering spring training. "It's doing really well," Rojas said. "I'm really happy. I did the surgery. It feels good. I've been doing everything, hitting, throwing, taking ground balls. Everything feels good." Rojas is one of several Arizona players that could be ticketed for third base in 2022, but the team also likes his versatility to play all over the diamond. Josh VanMeter and Drew Ellis are also in the mix at the hot corner. In his first full big-league season in 2021, Rojas hit .264/.341/.411 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI and nine stolen bases in 550 plate appearances over 139 games. |

Sat Aug 21 2021 | 17:53 | Josh Rojas Out Of Saturday's Lineup |
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas isn't in the lineup on Saturday for a matchup against the Colorado Rockies and left-handed starter Kyle Freeland. Rojas has been starting in the outfield lately but will get the day off on Saturday. He's batting .288 on the season with a .371 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and seven stolen bases in 406 plate appearances. It'll be Daulton Varsho starting in left field in Rojas' place against the Rockies and hitting seventh. Considering the game is taking place at Coors Field, Varsho could have some streaming appeal in deeper leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring. The 24-year-old is batting .217 with a .328 on-base percentage, six home runs, and four stolen bases in 178 plate appearances this season. |

Sun Aug 8 2021 | 09:46 | Josh Rojas Could Return Tuesday |
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas (finger) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. He's been sidelined since mid-July with a dislocated finger. The 27-year-old began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno Friday. Barring any setbacks over the weekend, he could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's contest against the San Francisco Giants. Rojas has been a reliable hitter for Arizona in 2021, slashing .268/.356/.438 with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 50 runs scored, and seven stolen bases across 362 plate appearances. Fantasy managers who stashed Rojas during the injury are expected to have him back in their lineups early next week. |
