Player Outlook
Johan Rojas showed speed and good defense in his 59-game debut back in 2023, but his .302 average was propped up by a clearly unsustainable .410 BABIP. There were doubts about whether he'd be a viable glove-first regular once the batted-ball luck dried up, but the Phillies decided the center field job was his to lose. Lose it he did, on multiple occasions, including a brief return to the minors in late June. All told, he slashed just .243/.279/.322 and homered a mere three times in 363 plate appearances, with his 27.4% hard hit rate suggesting that there's unlikely to ever be meaningful power in his bat. Still, it's far too early to give up on Rojas heading into his age-24 season. His 25 steals reinforce the idea that he'd be right up there with the league leaders if his bat can just get to passable. He did make some improvements at the plate, cutting his chase rate from 41.5% to 35.7% and slashing his strikeout rate from 25.6% to 19.0%. You can still squint and see quite a good speed-and-defense center fielder here, but his current profile looks like a fourth outfielder.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Throws to bases Monday

    Rotowire
    Rojas (shoulder) threw to bases Monday and will do so again Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Rojas has been limited to designated hitter duty thus far in Grapefruit League play after suffering a right shoulder injury during the Dominican Winter League. Assuming he gets through Wednesday's session without any hiccups, he'll then be cleared to play center field in a Grapefruit League game, per Phillies manager Rob Thomson. He's expected to be ready for Opening Day and projects as the club's fourth outfielder.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Hasn't thrown due to shoulder issue

    Rotowire
    Rojas has yet to do any throwing in Phillies camp after he banged up his right shoulder on a headfirst slide while playing in the Dominican Winter League, Lochlahn March of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The Phillies are saying that keeping Rojas from throwing early on in camp is a precautionary measure. Rojas will serve as the team's designated hitter during Grapefruit League play Tuesday and is expected to be cleared to throw early next week. Barring any setbacks, the shoulder issue shouldn't affect Rojas' Opening Day readiness.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Out of lineup, likely to lose work

    Rotowire
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Rojas had started in each of the Phillies' last five games, but he may fade into more of a fourth-outfielder role heading into the postseason after Austin Hays returned from the injured list Tuesday. Hays, Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos will likely represent the Phillies' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching, though Rojas could replace the left-handed-hitting Marsh in the lineup when Philadelphia opposes lefties.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Regains regular gig

    Rotowire
    Rojas will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rays. Rojas will pick up his fourth start in center field in five games. He looks set to fill a near-everyday role in the Philadelphia outfield after Austin Hays (kidney) was placed on the injured list Thursday.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Knocks three doubles

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 3-for-5 with three doubles, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins. Rojas' doubles came in the second, fifth and sixth innings. The latter two were RBI knocks and he would come around to score after all three of his extra-base hits. Rojas was stuck in a 1-for-14 skid over his previous five games before Friday's big performance. He's now slashing .243/.281/.313 with 14 extra-base hits and 23 stolen bases over 325 plate appearances.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Swipes bag, scores twice

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 1-for-2 with a stolen base, two runs scored and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers. Rojas didn't start the contest and took over center field for Brandon Marsh in the third inning as the latter shifted to left field. Rojas then singled and stole second in his first at-bat before coming around to score Philadelphia's fourth run of the game on a Kyle Schwarber double. The outfielder reached twice on the night and has now hit safely in each of his first two games to open the month of August. The stolen base was Rojas' 18th of the season and his first since July 9.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Sitting down Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rojas isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday versus the Guardians, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Rojas will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-2 during a loss in Friday's series opener. Brandon Marsh will slide over to center field, allowing Austin Hays to make his Phillies debut while starting in left.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Moves past forearm injury

    Rotowire
    Rojas (forearm) will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Athletics, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Rojas was out of the lineup for Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers after he had been hit in the forearm by a pitch a night earlier, but he returned to the lineup for the Phillies' 5-1 win in Thursday's series finale. He got the night off for Friday's series opener with Oakland but will pick up his second start in a row to close out of the Phillies' pre-All-Star-break schedule. Rojas hit a solo home run -- his third of the season -- in Saturday's 11-5 win, but he'll continue to provide most of his fantasy value on the basepaths (17 steals in 20 attempts) moving forward.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Nursing forearm injury

    Rotowire
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers after he was removed in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 10-1 win due to an apparent forearm injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. According to Zolecki, Rojas said after Tuesday's game that he's OK, but the Phillies will give the outfielder at least one day off while he may still be dealing with some residual soreness or bruising to the forearm, which was hit by 97 mile-per-hour Michael Petersen fastball. Brandon Marsh will cover center field in place of Rojas, who had started in each of the last seven games.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Getting regular run in center

    Rotowire
    Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game in Atlanta. Rojas has now occupied center field in eight of the Phillies' nine games since he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 28. Though he's getting on base at a .240 clip since his promotion, Rojas has contributed a pair of stolen bases along with upgrading the Phillies' defense in the outfield. Playing time could be harder to come by for Rojas when Kyle Schwarber (groin) returns from the injured list, however, as Nick Castellanos will see fewer opportunities at designated hitter while taking back a regular spot in right field.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Heading to bench Sunday

    Rotowire
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. Rojas will take a seat for the second time in the series, hitting the bench while Brandon Marsh -- who returned from the injured list Saturday -- covers center field in his stead. Though Marsh will likely see most of his reps in left field moving forward, his return could cost Rojas more time if he continues to languish at the plate and the Phillies want to open up more at-bats for David Dahl, who had served as the primary replacement in left field for Marsh.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Out of lineup Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rojas isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. Despite the Mets sending left-handed starter Sean Manaea to the mound, Rojas will step out of the lineup for the second game in a row Saturday. Cristian Pache will take over in center field again and bat ninth.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Absent from lineup

    Rotowire
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Rojas is getting a routine day off after starting in each of the previous five and nine of the last 10 contests. Cristian Pache will patrol center field Wednesday.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Swipes two bags in loss

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a pair of stolen bases in a loss to the Giants on Monday. Rojas knocked a fourth-inning RBI single and proceeded to steal two bases but was left stranded at third. The outfielder finished with his first multi-hit game in over two weeks amidst a poor month of May during which he's batting only .203 (13-for-64). Despite his struggles reaching base this season -- Rojas' OBP sits at a meager .269 -- he's managed to carve out some fantasy value in deep leagues with 13 stolen bases in 14 attempts.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Heading to bench Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Rojas will receive a breather in the day game after a night game, ending a stretch of five consecutive starts in center field. Cristian Pache will fill in for Rojas in the field and will bat ninth in the series finale.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Swipes two bags

    Rotowire
    Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals. Rojas stole second base both times he reached, tallying his 10th and 11th pilfers of the campaign. The outing was Rojas' second multi-steal game of his career. Although Rojas' batting average has fallen from .302 to .228 in comparison to last season, he's been much more disciplined at the plate, with his BB/K improving from 0.12 to 0.27 through 40 games.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Absent from Thursday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Mets. Rojas has perked up at the plate lately, hitting .350 with one home run, six RBI and two stolen bases over his last six games. He'll begin Thursday's festivities on the bench, though, yielding to Cristian Pache in center field.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Out again Friday

    Rotowire
    Rojas is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Pirates, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. It's his second straight game on the bench. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he wanted to give Rojas a "soft reset" amidst a 5-for-31 start at the plate this season. Brandon Marsh is again in center field and Whit Merrifield will handle left.

  • Phillies' Johan Rojas: Sitting out Thursday

    Rotowire
    Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The Phillies are going with Brandon Marsh in center field and Whit Merrifield in left field for the series opener. Rojas did have a three-hit game earlier this week, but it represented more than half of his hit total for the season (five).
