23-Year-Old PitcherRP
Minnesota Twins
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Rojas has made nine starts at Triple-A and was added to the 40-man roster this offseason, so he could be an option for the Twins rotation sometime this summer. The 23-year-old southpaw was acquired from Toronto at the deadline in the Louis Varland deal. Rojas has a 7.24 ERA and 2.23 WHIP in 32.1 innings at Triple-A after dominating at Double-A (37.3 K-BB%) in four starts. Most of Rojas' struggles (eight of nine starts) came with his new organization, and it's possible the Jays sold at the perfect time on Rojas. He looked very exciting at Double-A, logging a career-best 57.1 percent groundball rate to go with his strikeout and control dominance, but most scouting reports don't give Rojas a plus pitch. For now, he projects as a back-end starter who is nearly big-league ready. Read Past Outlooks

Shifts back to bullpen
PMinnesota Twins
May 26, 2026
Rojas struck out three and allowed one hit and one walk over three scoreless frames en route to collecting his first hold of the season in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
Analysis
The 23-year-old lefty had tossed four scoreless innings in his first MLB start May 18 against the Astros, but he was part of the rotation only for a short-term basis. Taj Bradley was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and worked the first five innings of Saturday's contest, with Rojas entering the game behind him and helping the Twins maintain their three-run lead.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should join 40-man roster
PMinnesota Twins
November 16, 2025
Rojas is likely to be added to the Twins 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, reports Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.
Analysis
After being acquired from the Blue Jays in the Louis Varland trade last summer, Rojas struggled to a 6.59 ERA in eight starts with Triple-A St. Paul. Despite those poor numbers, the Twins aren't likely to leave the 23-year-old lefty unprotected for the Rule 5 Draft so quickly after acquiring him.
