2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rojas had been one of the Phillies' most interesting prospects for a handful of seasons, but he didn't appear to be on the threshold of making a difference for the big-league club last offseason, as he'd reached Double-A for 60 games in 2022 but posted a forgettable 100 wRC+. He was sent back to the same level to open 2023, and his wRC+ jumped to 131 in 76 games, the product of a .306/.361/.484 slash line. That performance earned him a call-up at the start of the second half, and he didn't look back, hitting .302/.342/.430 while starting 40 of the final 72 games. He also went 14-of-15 on the basepaths. While the emergence of a young prospect with speed, contact ability and an excellent glove in center is undeniably exciting for the Phillies, the team pumped the brakes on the hype train by indicating he'll have to fight for the center field job this spring. It took a .410 BABIP to get him to his strong rookie slash line, and his 3.0 percent walk rate and 25.6 percent strikeout rate make for a very worrying combination. He also managed a pitiful 28.3 percent hard-hit rate. Rojas' speed and defense prop up his floor in both fantasy and real life, but his bat may not be ready quite yet despite his 2023 numbers.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Even though he's a right-handed hitter, Rojas finds himself out of the lineup for the Phillies' third straight matchup with a left-handed starting pitcher (Marco Gonzales). Rojas has still been included in the starting nine for each of the Phillies' last three matchups versus right-handed pitching, so he still looks to have a grasp on primary duties in center field. Rojas has produced a meager .566 OPS since returning from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in late June, but the Phillies lack appealing alternatives and appear to value his defense and speed enough to continue to carve out regular playing time for him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Remains in outfield plans
OFPhiladelphia Phillies
June 21, 2024
According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated Rojas is considered a piece of the club's ideal outfield alignment despite the demotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old burst onto the scene in 2023 with 14 steals and a .772 OPS in 59 games while providing strong defense in center field, but his .235/.271/.295 slash line this season necessitated a change. The loss of J.T. Realmuto to a knee injury has Philadelphia prioritizing offense over defense in the outfield, and Brandon March will work as the primary center fielder versus right-handed pitching. Rojas has gone 5-for-13 with a homer in his first three games at Lehigh Valley, and he's a strong bet to rejoin the Phillies before long if he continues to show improvement at Triple-A.
