2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rojas played all over the field for the Diamondbacks in 2021-2022 while posting decent numbers, but he was unsuccessful in his 59 games with Arizona last summer with a .589 OPS, and was traded to Seattle in the deal for Paul Sewald. Once added to the Mariners roster, Rojas was in the lineup on a regular basis against right-handed pitchers, and he improved his slash to a respectable .272/.321/.400 while swiping six bases over 46 games.While it was encouraging to see the numbers increase upon joining his new club, the overall numbers were still ugly, and he ranked near the bottom of baseball in hard-hit percentage, expected slugging, barrel rate and expected weight on-base average. He also remained a liability against left-handed pitching with a .562 OPS, and it seems likely he won't be in the lineup in 2024 against southpaws very often. Rojas should have eligibility at second and third base and has a chance to carve out a regular role with the Mariners, but his fantasy value is severely limited as a player that isn't likely to contribute in many categories.

Sitting versus lefty
Rojas is absent from Friday's lineup against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With the A's sending southpaw JP Sears to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth.

Rojas suffered a Grade 2 right oblique strain in the spring, keeping him out about a month. Rojas finished with 125 games, a few less than the previous season, but he posted similar numbers while stealing more bases. He doesn't do anything especially well, but Rojas does a little of everything. That said, last season's 19.2 strikeout rate was a career-low, so if he maintains that, Rojas' contact will be above average and provide a solid floor. Last season, his HR/FB dipped, but a higher fly ball rate salvaged his power. There's some latent pop in his swing of Rojas can sustain the elevated fly ball rate while hitting them with a little more authority. Pulling it together, steals are the key as Rojas has a chance to benefit from the new rules. The signing of Evan Longoria could squeeze him for playing time, though the veteran is likely to see a fair amount of action at DH. Combining Rojas' speed with dual second and third base eligibility and he could be an undervalued asset, especially for those looking for mid to late round speed.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Strict platoon option
Rojas is slashing a poor .208/.296/.250 against lefties this season. He's recorded just one extra-base hit in 27 plate appearances against southpaws.
ANALYSIS
Rojas is hitting a much more palatable .254 with a .644 OPS in 161 plate appearances against righties, but the 28-year-old is still well below the .277/.354/.410 slash he posted against righties last season. Stolen bases had been a key part of Rojas' appeal in deeper leagues, but he's swiped just three bags since April 28.
