19 Miguel Rojas SS

Rojas is not in the lineup against Toronto on Friday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will head to the bench after going 1-for-9 during a two-game set in Boston earlier this week. Across the month of August, he's hit just .230 with a .619 OPS and failed to record a multi-hit game in 23 outings. JT Riddle will man shortstop and bat sixth in his absence.

Rojas (ankle) is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh Wednesday against the Yankees, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas has finally been cleared to rejoin the starting lineup for the first time since injuring his ankle Aug. 13. He was able to make three pinch hit appearances over that six-game stretch, going 1-for-3 with one RBI.

Rojas (ankle) is not in the lineup against Washington on Friday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will remain on the bench for the third straight game after suffering a left ankle bruise during Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader. He was able to make a pinch-hitting appearance Wednesday which likely indicates that he will not require a stint on the DL, but manager Don Mattingly continues to stress precaution with his shortstop. In his absence, JT Riddle will draw another start.

Rojas (ankle) entered Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Braves as a pinch hitter, lining out to left field in his lone at-bat.

Rojas has been withheld from the Miami lineup the past two days while nursing a left ankle bruise, which he sustained in the second half of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta. The fact that he was at least able to contribute as a pinch hitter Wednesday suggests that Rojas will likely avoid the disabled list. He'll vie for starts at shortstop with JT Riddle once he returns to full strength.

Rojas (ankle) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas left the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves with a left ankle bruise. He'll wind up missing at least two starts. The Marlins have an off day Thursday, so there's a chance that one more day of rest will be enough to allow Rojas to return Friday in Washington.
