White Sox's Josh Rojas: Cut from 40-man roster
The Chicago White Sox designated Josh Rojas for assignment Friday.Rojas hasn't logged an at-bat since Aug. 10 as the White Sox have opted to give younger players more action in the final stretch of the regular season. The 31-year-old utility player didn't give the team much of a boost at the plate, slashing .180/.252/.259 with two home runs and four stolen bases in 211 plate appearances. Should he go unclaimed, Rojas will have the option of electing free agency or remaining within the White Sox organization. Korey Lee was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Josh Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.The Chicago White Sox have two openings in the infield after Chase Meidroth (thumb) joined Miguel Vargas (oblique) on the injured list Thursday, but Rojas may not be in line to take on a regular role while the two players are on the shelf.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Homers from nine hole in win
Josh Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.Rojas added a big insurance run to the Chicago White Sox's tally in the top of the ninth inning. That brings his total up to just two on the season -- an entirely forgettable campaign so far. The infielder is slashing a mere .176/.246/.261 on the season, with his .508 OPS being on pace to be the worst mark of his career in a season in which he's played at least 60 games.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Sitting against righty
Josh Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.The left-handed-hitting Rojas had been excluded from the lineup in three of the past four games while the Chicago White Sox faced three lefty starters, but he'll be on the bench Monday against a righty (Shane Baz). For the season, Rojas is batting just .177/.243/.244 with one home run and four stolen bases in 182 plate appearances. Given his poor production along with the fact that he's on an expiring contract, Rojas could be at risk of moving into a bench role -- or potentially getting cut -- if the White Sox aren't able to find a taker for him prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
