Logs steal in win Rojas went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact With David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reporting Friday that Mookie Betts (hand) will play in right field when he returns Monday, Rojas will remain in competition with Nick Ahmed and Amed Rosario for playing time at shortstop. Rojas has started both games since he returned from the injured list himself after missing two weeks with a forearm injury. For the season, Rojas has been a steady batter, hitting .270 with a .713 OPS, three home runs, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, six steals and 17 doubles over 215 plate appearances. As long as he can avoid a slump, Rojas should be in the lineup most of the time.

Reinstated from IL The Dodgers reinstated Rojas (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Rojas landed on the injured list July 24 due to right forearm tightness, and he played in just one rehab game in Single-A, where he went 0-for-3 with a walk. Now that he's healthy, the 35-year-old will likely start at shortstop until Mookie Betts (hand) is able to return from the IL. James Outman was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Starting rehab assignment Rojas (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday.

Impact Rojas has been shelved since late July with right forearm tightness but has been cleared for game action. Since his absence has been relatively brief, he shouldn't require many rehab games before being activated. Rojas will overtake Nick Ahmed at shortstop once he's ready. Mookie Betts (hand) is also due back soon, although it doesn't seem the Dodgers have decided on which position he'll play once activated.

Set to play in sim game this week Manager Dave Roberts said that Rojas (forearm) is scheduled to play in a simulated game Thursday at Dodger Stadium, MLB.com reports.

Impact On the shelf since July 24 with right forearm tightness, Rojas has already started ramping up his swinging and is set to face live pitching during the upcoming week. Roberts said that Rojas won't require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, leaving the door open for the 35-year-old to rejoin the big club as soon as this weekend. Whenever Rojas is reinstated, he'll likely displace Nick Ahmed as the team's primary shortstop.

Lands on injured list The Dodgers placed Rojas (forearm) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rojas hasn't played since he made an early exit from Sunday's game versus Boston due to tightness in his right forearm. He'll now be sidelined for the next 10 days, opening the door for Enrique Hernandez and the newly signed Nick Ahmed to see increased playing time at shortstop.

Remains out of lineup Rojas (forearm) isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

Impact Rojas remains day-to-day as expected Tuesday due to tightness in his right forearm. The shortstop missed the opening game of the series against the Giants in Monday's win, but is believed to be able to return Wednesday. Enrique Hernandez has the start at shortstop and is batting ninth Tuesday.

Impact As expected, Rojas will be absent from Monday's lineup after he left in the third inning of Sunday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox due to right forearm tightness.

Avoids major injury Rojas (forearm) avoided a serious injury in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rojas left the game following the third inning with right forearm tightness, which he believes is the result of taking one-handed swings with a heavy bat during the All-Star break. Rojas doesn't believe that the injury is anything serious, something that manager Dave Roberts echoed following the contest, saying that the infielder won't get an MRI and might be "down a couple days." Rojas is expected to miss Monday's series opener against the Giants and after that, he can considered day-to-day for the time being.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early versus Boston Rojas exited Sunday's contest against the Red Sox early with right forearm tightness.

Impact Rojas was forced to leave the contest ahead of the top of the fourth inning, finishing his day 0-for-1 at the plate. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Cavan Biggio replaced Rojas in the Dodgers' lineup versus Boston.

Continues to shine on offense Rojas went 2-for-2 with two doubles, a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Rojas logged two of Los Angeles' three extra-base hits, doubling in each of the fourth and sixth innings. The shortstop is batting .359 with six doubles, four RBI and a stolen base over his past 11 games to boost his season batting average to .291. Rojas has been playing on a near-everyday basis since Mookie Betts went down with a fractured bone in his left wrist June 16. Though Betts could return in late July or early August, Rojas may not lose his spot in the lineup at that point, as manager Dave Roberts stated early this month that he may consider moving Betts to second base in order to ensure Rojas continues to start at shortstop, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.

Impact For the first time since Mookie Betts landed on the 10-day injured list June 17 with a fractured wrist, Rojas will head to the bench. While taking over as the Dodgers' everyday shortstop over the past two weeks, Rojas slashed a robust .350/.386/.450 with four extra-base hits (all doubles) over a stretch of 11 starts. Enrique Hernandez will occupy shortstop Sunday in Rojas' stead.

The shortstop continued to generate offense throughout the night, finishing with a season-high four RBI. Rojas has now recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games, going 10-for-22 (.454) over that stretch with three doubles, four RBI and five runs scored. He's batting .323 overall in June.
