Rocchio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 loss to the Twins during the first game of Friday's doubleheader.
Rocchio got the Guardians on the board in the seventh inning of the matinee but went 0-for-4 in the nightcap. The 23-year-old has started six of the last eight games at shortstop, seemingly clawing back a starting role over Daniel Schneemann at the highly contested position for Cleveland. Rocchio has gone just 5-for-22 over eight contests in August, and he's slashing .206/.297/.312 with five homers, eight stolen bases, 23 RBI and 38 runs scored over 103 games this season.
