Available off bench Rojas (hand) was available off the bench if needed for Tuesday's game, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks did not use Rojas in their 8-6 win over the Royals. The infielder took infield and batting practice ahead of Tuesday's series finale with Kansas City, but manager Torey Lovullo preferred to "stay away" from using Rojas if possible. With a scheduled day off Wednesday, Rojas will get another 24 hours of healing in before the series opener against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Remains on bench Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Sitting out Sunday Rojas (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The lefty-hitting Rojas will sit out Sunday's series finale after suffering a bruised left hand in Saturday's 7-6 win, but it's unclear if the injury or the fact that southpaw Wade Miley is on the hill for Chicago is what's keeping him out of the lineup. Regardless, newly recalled Drew Ellis will fill in at third base for Rojas.

Dealing with bruised hand Rojas left Saturday's game against the Cubs with a left hand contusion.

Impact Adding insult to injury, the bruise occured when Rojas was struck in the hand by a pitch that he swung at and struck out on, but he's at least escaped without a serious injury. He may need some time off to wait for his swelling and soreness to subside, but it appears that he's avoided the longer absence which would come with a fracture. Yonny Hernandez replaced him and could see some extra playing time if Rojas winds up being forced to sit for a few days.

Exits with left hand injury Rojas was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the top of the first inning, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Rojas swung when he was hit by a pitch, so he struck out during his lone plate appearance Saturday and was replaced defensively in the bottom of the first. The severity of the 27-year-old's injury isn't yet clear, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day. If Rojas misses additional time, Yonny Hernandez should see increased work at the hot corner.

Diamondbacks play the Cubs after Rojas' 3-home run game

The Arizona Diamondbacks meet the Chicago Cubs after Josh Rojas hit three home runs on Friday in a 10-6 win over the Cubs

MAY 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Blasts three home runs Friday Rojas went 3-for-5 with three home runs, four RBI and a strikeout in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

Impact Rojas failed to record an extra-base hit in his first 13 games of the season, but he experienced a power surge at Wrigley Field on Friday. The 27-year-old has crossed the plate in five of the last six games and has gone 7-for-19 with three homers, seven runs, six RBI and a steal during that time.

Extends on-base streak Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Rojas' single in the fourth inning knocked in the winning run while also extending his on-base streak 13 games, every one since being activated off the injured list May 6. He later walked and stole his third base of the season. With Nick Ahmed (undisclosed) sidelined, there hasn't been a need for manager Torey Lovullo to juggle three infielders -- Rojas, Ahmed and Geraldo Perdomo -- among shortstop and third base.
