Player Outlook
Josh Rojas was the Mariners' Opening Day third baseman last season and came out of the gate firing on all cylinders with a .938 OPS, three home runs and two stolen bases in April. Unfortunately, he then proceeded to slash just .208/.285/.301 over the final five months and was non-tendered as a result. Rojas did grade out superbly on defense for the second straight year, but he also posted a .641 OPS for the second year in a row and again ranked as a below-average runner. He's a versatile defender with a career 10 percent walk rate, but Rojas has never had much power and if the speed continues to go in the wrong direction as he enters his 30s, it's difficult to see a path to fantasy relevance. He should receive plenty of opportunities after signing a one-year deal with the White Sox, and he's a likely trade candidate with a strong first half in 2025.

  • White Sox's Josh Rojas: Exits game with big toe injury

    Rotowire
    Rojas left in the forth inning of Saturday's spring game against Colorado due to soreness in his right big toe. Rojas went 0-for-2 before being replaced by Jordan Sprinkle at third base. An update on Rojas' injury should be made once he undergoes further testing on his right big toe. Rojas had gone 10-for-30 with two walks, two RBI and six runs scored in spring training heading into Saturday's game.

  • White Sox's Josh Rojas: Projected to start at second base

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

  • White Sox's Josh Rojas: One-year pact with ChiSox

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

  • Josh Rojas: Non-tendered by Seattle

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

    Rotowire

  • Mariners' Josh Rojas: Belts eighth homer Friday

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI sacrifice fly in a win over the Rangers on Friday. Julio Rodriguez stole the show with a two-homer, five-RBI outburst, but Rojas made some noise of his own 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.

    Rotowire
    Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup Wednesday against the Yankees. Rojas and his .342 OPS against southpaws this season will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday as left-hander Nestor Cortes starts for New York. Dylan Moore will pick up a start at the hot corner as a result and bat ninth.

  • Mariners' Josh Rojas: On base three times in loss

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels. Rojas has four multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with three extra-base hits and three steals in that span. The infielder hasn't been a big threat on the basepaths this year, going 9-for-13 on stolen-base attempts. 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.

  • Mariners' Josh Rojas: Keeps rolling Monday

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

  • Mariners' Josh Rojas: Busy afternoon in Sunday's win

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk, a stolen base and a run in a 4-3 win over the Giants on Sunday. 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 -- he's still sporting just a .167 average and .460 OPS this month across 59 plate appearances while recording a sole extra-base hit in that span.

  • Mariners' Josh Rojas: Late addition to lineup

    Rotowire
    Rojas is starting at third base and batting eighth Sunday against the Giants. The 30-year-old was scheduled to sit against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray on Sunday, but Luke Raley (undisclosed) ended up being a late scratch. Rojas has struggled through most of August and is in the midst of a 5-for-44 slump.

  • Mariners' Josh Rojas: Belts seventh homer

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