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
Will start occasionally vs. lefties
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Rojas will get some starts at shortstop against left-handed pitchers, but he won't be part of a strict platoon, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Rojas got the bulk of playing time at shortstop last year after Gavin Lux tore his ACL in spring training and was lost for the season, and he finished the campaign with a .236/.290/.322 slash line along with five homers, 31 RBI, 49 runs and eight steals. With Lux back in the fold for 2024, Rojas is slated to work in a reserve role, with Lux starting at second base and Mookie Betts taking over at shortstop. When the Dodgers go up against southpaws, Betts will sometimes slide over to second while Rojas gets an opportunity at shortstop, but Roberts' comments make it clear that this won't be more than an occasional lineup change.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to play Monday
Rojas is expected to be activated ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Rojas played five innings with the Dodgers' A-ball affiliate in Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, and manager Dave Roberts said the plan is to activate the shortstop before Monday's meeting against Philadelphia. Over his first 35 plate appearances, Rojas had hit only .125 with a .200 OBP and a .156 slugging percentage, and the Dodgers expect the rehab stint would allow him to reset after an underwhelming start to the season.

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.
