Out of lineup Rojas (finger) will not start Friday against the Cubs.

Impact Rojas dislocated his left pinkie finger Wednesday against the Pirates when diving into second base. Thursday's off day evidently wasn't enough time for him to heal, so he'll be on the bench for at least one game. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Diamondbacks are still evaluating Rojas, and a trip to the injured list remains a possibility. Josh VanMeter will get the start at second base.

Rojas is slashing .261/.348/.435 over a career-high 348 plate appearances.

Fighting slump Rojas went 2-for-5 in Thursday's 9-3 loss to Colorado.

Impact Rojas entered the contest on a 1-for-22 run before adding hits in his first two plate appearances. He's been getting steady work -- he's started six of the last seven games at corner outfield and middle infield -- while batting at or near the top of the order. The Diamondbacks will continue to develop the 27-year-old, who is batting .251 over 84 games, but there's been some element of luck. Statcast estimates his expected batting average to be 23 points lower.
