Impact Rojas participated in live batting practice Wednesday, and he took grounders at shortstop ahead of Thursday's game against the Giants. The 27-year-old was initially targeting a weekend return, so he shouldn't require many rehab games before he's cleared to rejoin the major-league club.

Rojas is tentatively scheduled to take live at-bats in a simulated game Wednesday. If that goes well, manager Torey Lovullo wants to see him play in a minor-league rehab game or two before coming off the injured list.

Lands on injured list Rojas was placed on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left finger Saturday, retroactive to July 22, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rojas was slated to miss a second consecutive game due to his injury Saturday, but he'll instead be placed on the injured list to free up a roster spot for Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old sustained his dislocated pinkie finger Wednesday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. Josh VanMeter should see increased playing time at second base in his absence.
