Jefferson Rojas Fantasy Stats

New York Mets infield prospect Jefferson Rojas continued his ambush of Triple-A pitching on Wednesday, going 3-for-3 at the plate with a walk, two singles, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored for Syracuse, a day after he went 2-for-5 with a home run in his first game at Triple-A. The right-handed slugger has been terrific since coming over from the Cubs in early August in the Clay Holmes trade, but has been particularly good as of late, going 12-for-26 (.462) over his last six games, including three doubles and three home runs. For the season, the Mets' top prospect is slashing .278/.343/.510 with 26 home runs and 20 steals. The 21-year-old Dominican is looking like a strong candidate to make his major league debut early next season, and with a nice blend of contact, power, and speed, there's plenty of reason to like him for fantasy, both in dynasty and eventually in 2027 redraft leagues.

New York Mets infield prospect Jefferson Rojas ended his 2026 campaign with a bang, going 4-for-5 at the plate with a pair of singles, a double, and a home run. The Mets' top prospect showed well during his time with the team since coming over in the Clay Holmes trade in early August, slashing .286/.342/.619 with nine home runs in 26 games for the Rumble Ponies. Including his time with the Cubs organization, the 5-foot-11 Dominican hit .273 with 24 home runs and 19 steals in 117 games, while striking out at just a 16.2 percent clip (8.8 percent walk rate). MLB's No. 76 overall prospect should see time at Triple-A in 2027 and will be knocking on the door to the majors. The Mets were willing to give several young prospects a chance in 2026, and could do so again next year; with Rojas' ability to play third base, second base, or shortstop, there are multiple pathways to the majors. With a solid all-around skill set and the potential to be an early contributor next year, the 21-year-old maintains solid value in dynasty formats.

Recently acquired New York Mets infield prospect Jefferson Rojas cranked his first home run on Tuesday as a member of his new organization, as part of a three-hit night for Binghamton. It was the second three-hit performance in his last three games, and the Mets' newly-anointed top-ranked prospect is now slashing .272/.340/.470 with 16 home runs and 18 steals in 97 games at Double-A this season. The 5-foot-11 Dominican came over in a trade with the Cubs, and looks like a candidate for some time at Triple-A before the season is out, although an MLB debut in 2026 isn't likely. The right-handed hitter offers a little bit of power and speed to go along with low strikeout rates during his time in the minors (16.2 percent), so he could be an intriguing fantasy option in 2027, and with the ability to play shortstop, second base, or third base, there are multiple pathways to the majors.

The New York Mets acquired shortstop prospect Jefferson Rojas from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for right-hander Clay Holmes (leg) and outfielder Tyrone Taylor on Monday, a person familiar with the deal told Chelsea Janes of SNY. Rojas, 21, comes to the National League East after slashing .270/.339/.461 with a .799 OPS, 15 home runs, 57 RBI, 17 stolen bases, and 58 runs scored in 91 games across 390 plate appearances with Double-A Knoxville this year. Per MLB Pipeline, Rojas has become New York's top prospect, and he also sits at No. 63 overall in the sport. The 5-foot-11, 150-pound Dominican infielder Rojas probably won't be an elite fantasy option at the shortstop position in the long-term, but he should offer 20-homer potential and average speed on the basepaths, which makes him a solid pickup for the disappointing Mets in exchange for a starting pitcher who could just be a rental. He probably won't be a realistic candidate for his MLB debut until next year, and he could be what the Mets have in mind as Francisco Lindor's eventual successor.

Chicago Cubs top infield prospect Jefferson Rojas is expected to begin the 2026 campaign with Double-A Knoxville. Rojas is considered the No. 4-ranked prospect in their system on MLB.com. Rojas began the 2025 season with High-A South Bend and was quite productive, posting a .278/.379/.492 line with an .871 OPS. During this 67-game stint, Rojas hit 13 doubles, 11 home runs, and swiped 14 bases. He was then bumped up to Double-A, where he saw his production take a decline. Through his first 39 games in the upper levels, Rojas stumbled to a .164/.279/.205 line with no long balls and only five stolen bases. Given his struggles against Double-A pitching in the second half, managers should expect Rojas to spend most of the 2026 season there. If he were to turn the corner, he could push for a second-half taste of Triple-A.

The Chicago Cubs would be reluctant to trade shortstop prospect Jefferson Rojas, who was recently promoted to Double-A Knoxville, in a deal this summer for a rental player, according to The Athletic's Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma. Rojas was already in his second season at High-A South Bend at just 20 years old and had an .871 OPS with 11 home runs, 44 RBI, 50 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 67 games to earn himself a promotion. He has mostly played shortstop in the minors, but Rojas is more likely to play third or second base in the long term at the next level. The Cubs are going to need to be open-minded about trading a high-level prospect like Rojas this summer if it means acquiring a player who can help the Cubs compete for a World Series in 2025 and beyond. Rojas is considered the team's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and is expected to debut in the majors next season.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect Jefferson Rojas made his Double-A debut on Friday evening against Birmingham. In this game, Rojas went 1-for-4 with a double. The Cubs officially promoted Rojas to Double-A Knoxville prior to Friday's game. The No. 63-ranked prospect in baseball spent the entire first half with High-A South Bend. Through 67 games, the infielder held a strong .278/.379/.492 slash line with 13 doubles, 11 home runs, and 14 stolen bases. During this stretch, Rojas held a 47:38 K:BB. Last summer, the 20-year-old posted a .245/.310/.366 line through 96 games with High-A. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression, as Rojas is quickly progressing through the Chicago system at a young age. He remains on track to contend for his MLB debut next season.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect Jefferson Rojas went 2-for-6 with a home run and two RBI during their contest against High-A Wisconsin. Since the start of July, Rojas has been one of the best hitters in the minor leagues. During this nine-game stretch, the No. 64-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com has posted an impressive .333/.385/.667 slash line with three doubles and three home runs. Before this recent surge at the plate, Rojas held a modest .176/.391/.294 line with just two extra-base hits. Rojas has spent the entire campaign with High-A South Bend and held a solid .282/.387/.483 slash line with 13 doubles and nine home runs. Even though Rojas remains several seasons away from his MLB debut, he appears to be quickly progressing in the Chicago system. If he continues to produce at this level, he could be in the mix to reach Double-A later in the second half.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect Jefferson Rojas went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Tuesday, belting his eighth home run of the season for High-A South Bend. The hits extended his hit streak to seven games, and he's now recorded multiple hits in three of the last four. The Cubs' third-ranked prospect (MLB No. 64) is now the author of a .284/.393/.480 slash line with 14 steals and a 13.8 percent walk rate compared to just a 15.6 percent strikeout rate. This recent hot stretch could be what gets him to Double-A sooner rather than later, and he's got solid all-around tools that could make him an impactful fantasy asset once he gets to the majors, perhaps as soon as next season. Hence, the Dominican is a prospect to keep an eye on.

Chicago Cubs infield prospect Jefferson Rojas extended his hitting streak to six games on Sunday during their contest against High-A Peoria. In this game, Rojas went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and a run. During this six-game hitting streak, Rojas has posted two multi-hit games, scored four runs, and added three RBI. During this stretch, he has held a cumulative .364/.440/.636 slash line. The 20-year-old has spent the entire first half of the campaign with High-A South Bend. Through 61 games, the No. 77-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com has held a .281/.393/.469 slash line with 13 doubles, seven home runs, and 14 stolen bases. This is a nice improvement compared to the .245/.310/.336 line he held at High-A last summer. Given his strong play this season, he could earn a promotion to Double-A in the coming weeks.
