Miguel Rojas Stats

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) took batting practice before Thursday's contest against the Rockies. This is a step in the right direction after he recently resumed baseball activities on Tuesday. The veteran is currently batting .275 to go along with 47 hits, 32 runs, 16 RBI, and four stolen bases throughout 171 at-bats this season. He has been out since the end of May after dislocating his left index finger but may return to the lineup sometime over the next week or so.

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) is set to begin baseball activities today and will field ground balls and hit off a tee. Rojas hasn't played since he was forced to leave a game after sliding back into first base on a pickoff throw and suffering a broken finger. Jazz Chisholm has been filling in at shortstop in the absence of Rojas, but it's created a huge hole at second base (and third base) for the Marlins. Rojas should be able to move from tee work to live batting practice soon if there are no setbacks. He'd likely need a rehab game or two after that before rejoining the Marlins, so a timeline of about two weeks seems safe at this point.

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) has a fractured finger and will clearly be out longer than just the 10 days required by his injured list stint. Rojas hurt himself while attempting to slide back into first base on a pickoff play and immediately left the game. The thought at first was that Rojas was dealing with a dislocation only, which could have healed much more rapidly. The fracture means he could be out several weeks.
