Three hits in loss Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.
Impact Rojas ran his hit streak to six games, going 10-for-23 with five doubles and three RBI during that run. The utility player has been filling in at second base and right field, while Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring) are sidelined. The Diamondbacks have dropped 10 straight, falling to last place in the NL West, so they may decide to begin preparing for next season. That means potentially handing second base to Rojas even when Cabrera returns.

Three hits in loss Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Rojas started in right field as Josh Reddick moved to center for the resting Ketel Marte. It was the third straight game with a two-base hit for Rojas, who has a nine for the season, tied for the lead among Diamondbacks hitters. The 27-year-old utility player continues to get regular playing time, filling in at second base and outfield while Arizona copes with injuries to Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) and Kole Calhoun (hamstring), both of whom are expected out until mid-June or later. Rojas has taken advantage of the opportunity, positing a career-high slash line (.288/.354/.485) over 147 plate appearances.

Doubles in loss Rojas started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Rojas spelled Nick Ahmed at shortstop and could see more consistent action in the infield going forward. He had been filling in at right field, making five straight starts there while Kole Calhoun (hamstring) is sidelined. That was before the Diamondbacks purchased the contract of Josh Reddick, the veteran right fielder who joined up with Arizona in April, then hit .304/.365/.478 in 11 games for Triple-A Reno. There's a glaring need at second base since Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) hit the injured list, and Rojas could be the primary fill-in there.

Slugs fifth homer Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.
Impact The 26-year-old got Arizona on the board in the fifth inning by taking Sandy Alcantara deep. Rojas is on a tear, going 8-for-19 over the last five games with four of his five homers on the year, and with Kole Calhoun (hamstring) likely out until mid-June, he'll get a chance to settle in as the starting right fielder.
