BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Rojas hit the injured list on July 24 after dislocating his pinkie finger while sliding into second on a stolen base attempt. It was an unfortunate injury at the time considering that he was raking at the dish in the month leading up to his injury. From June 23 through July 21 he hit .321/.444/.444 with one home run, seven RBI, four stolen bases, and a 21:18 K/BB ratio over 1oo plate appearances (23 games). The good news is that he picked up right where he left off since being activated from the IL on August 10. He's rocking a .483/.516/.793 batting line with four doubles, one triple, one home run, and five RBI in eight games since his activation and currently has a seven-game hitting streak. Overall, the dynamic 27-year-old is slashing .287/.370/.467 with 11 home runs, 33 RBI, and seven stolen bases on the year.
Next week, Rojas checks all three boxes that we like to see for our hitter streamers. First of all, he's in the midst of a hot streak at the plate, which is always a plus. Secondly, he's going to see a lot of at-bats as the D-backs are playing seven games. And finally, the pitching matchups are overwhelmingly favorable.
Arizona will see five right-handed starters in seven games and Rojas is batting .298/.382/.476 with 19 doubles, seven home runs, and 26 RBI over 248 at-bats vs. righties on the season. Wil Crowe, JT Brubaker, and Mitch Keller look like the easiest matchups on paper but Kyle Gibson has been shaky in a Phillies uniform and Aaron Nola has a 4.32 ERA since the All-Star break.
