Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rojas took hold of the primary shortstop role for the Dodgers last season after youngster Gavin Lux went down with season-ending ACL and LCL tears in his right knee during spring training. The veteran gave the team steady defense but minimal offensive production, finishing with a .236/.290/.322 slash line, five homers, 31 RBI and eight stolen bases over 423 plate appearances. Those numbers were nearly identical to what Rojas posted in 2022 in his final season with Miami and are a good indicator of what should be expected of him in the latter stages of his career. The veteran has just one double-digit homer season and one double-digit theft campaign over his 10 big-league seasons, so he's never been an exciting fantasy option. He'll be almost entirely off the radar next year, as he's expected to take on a bench role with Lux returning as Los Angeles' starting shortstop. Read Past Outlooks

Lands on injured list
The Dodgers placed Rojas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right forearm tightness.
ANALYSIS
Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Rojas is dealing with a flexor strain, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, so the team will shut him down from throwing for "a while." The newly signed Nick Ahmed will see the majority of the starts at shortstop while Rojas is sidelined.

Stat Review
How does Miguel Rojas compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Rojas took a step backward in his fantasy value in 2022 as he attempted to play through a wrist injury which eventually required offseason surgery. Rojas has been a decent end game pick for his playing time, some steals, and a bit of batting average help but only the steals were present last season as the injury sapped his other offensive skills making him very tough to carry in any fantasy format. He should be healthy this season and remain a fixture in the Miami lineup in the final year of his deal as the club has said they want more high contact hitters in the lineup. That skill has been his calling card throughout his career at the plate while the defense has shone throughout, but even if it all comes together this should be a bottom of the lineup hitter and only rosterable in deeper league or single-league formats on draft day. Being traded to the Dodgers potentially sets Rojas up to serve as the starting shortstop in a much better lineup, though it's possible he also ends up as more of a utility piece. Regardless, he doesn't seem likely to move the needle in a major way for fantasy managers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Won't fill everyday role
According to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Rojas will receive regular off days given his age and injury history.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old has started at shortstop in 10 of 12 games since Mookie Betts suffered a fractured wrist in mid-June, but that pace of starts may not be sustainable. Rojas has enjoyed a bounce-back campaign with a .297/.344/.446 slash line through 53 games this year, and he's hitting .350 since taking over as Los Angeles' primary shortstop. Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor could see a few more chances at shortstop going forward in an effort to keep Rojas healthy, but he should continue to be the main option until Betts is back.
