Jose Rojas Fantasy Stats

The New York Yankees signed free-agent utility man Jose Rojas to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, according to a source. Rojas can play right field, third base and second base. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter made his big-league debut in 2021 with the Los Angeles Angels and has hit just .188 (42-for-224) with six home runs (all in his rookie season) and 16 RBI in 83 games and 241 plate appearances in his two seasons. He played for the Doosan Bears in the Korea Baseball Organization in 2023 but hit just .188/.245/.339 over 83 games. Rojas is most likely going to open the 2024 season in the minor leagues with the Yankees, providing utility depth.

The New York Yankees have signed utility player Jose Rojas to a minor-league deal. The 30-year-old spent the 2023 season playing for the KBO's Doosan Bears and did well to hit .253 with 19 home runs, 65 RBI, and an .819 OPS across 464 trips to the plate. He also recently spent 13 games playing in the Mexican Winter League. Rojas has seen big-league action in parts of two seasons with the Los Angeles Angels but hit just .188 with six home runs, two stolen bases, and a .584 OPS across 83 games and 241 plate appearances. Despite his poor work in the majors in a small sample, many players have turned their careers around overseas as Rojas aims to lock down a utility role with the Bombers in 2024.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Jose Rojas has been recalled from the minors on Sunday. The Angels only had 25 players on their active roster, so no corresponding move was needed. Sadly, Rojas has struggled during his brief time in the MLB. He is hitting .190/.246/.364 this season over 121 at-bats, so fantasy managers can continue to ignore him going forward.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Jose Rojas was informed on Saturday that he had made the Opening Day roster, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. This comes after a solid spring performance by Rojas, who has slashed .333/.488/.667 with two home runs and a 4:10 K:BB rate in 22 games. Rojas has shown double-digit home run and steal potential in the minors, and while there likely won't be much playing time early on given the Angels are locked in with their starting infield, he can have value in deeper-AL only leagues.
