Finally hits first homer of season Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Athletics.
Impact Rojas ended his season-long homer drought with a third-inning solo shot. He also snapped an 0-for-8 skid from his last three games. For now, the Dodgers' trade additions of Amed Rosario and Enrique Hernandez are not costing Rojas playing time at shortstop, but his spot can't be considered safe when his bat is cold. He's slashing just .217/.272/.273 with a homer, 13 RBI, 30 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 79 contests this season.

Records another steal Rojas went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Giants.
Impact Four of Rojas' five steals this season have come over his last 11 games, a span in which he's gone 11-for-40 (.275). That's an improvement on his season batting average of .231, as the shortstop has struggled early in the season and is still getting back on track. He's yet to hit a home run and has added just six RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles with a meager .535 OPS over 156 plate appearances.

Swipes fourth bag Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the White Sox.
Impact Rojas notched his second straight two-hit performance and nabbed his first theft since the final day of May. The shortstop's sprint speed ranks in the 30th percentile leaguewide, but he's shown some savviness on the basepaths with 31 steals in 39 attempts over the past three-plus seasons. However, he's getting on base at a paltry 25.8 percent clip on the campaign and has yet to hit a homer, so he's not much of an asset outside of some deep fantasy formats.
