Phillies' Johan Rojas: Out of lineup, likely to lose work
Johan Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.Rojas had started in each of the Philadelphia Phillies' last five games, but he may fade into more of a fourth-outfielder role heading into the postseason after Austin Hays returned from the injured list Tuesday. Hays, Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos will likely represent the Phillies' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching, though Rojas could replace the left-handed-hitting Marsh in the lineup when Philadelphia opposes lefties.

Phillies' Johan Rojas: Taking seat Sunday
Johan Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.With Austin Hays (hamstring) landing on the injured list Friday, Rojas looks to have moved back into a near-everyday role in center field. Rojas started in each of the past three games, going 2-for-11 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI. Though Cal Stevenson will get the nod in center field Sunday, Rojas' speed and defense should make him the preferred third option in the outfield until Hays returns from the IL.

Phillies' Johan Rojas: Losing work to Hays
Johan Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.Rojas is on the bench for a third straight game, with the Philadelphia Phillies facing off against right-handed starting pitchers on two of those occasions. He appears to have moved into a fourth-outfielder role following the recent acquisition of Austin Hays. Rojas can provide value off the bench for the Phillies as a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch runner, but it'll be difficult to extract much fantasy utility from him while he's not getting regular starting opportunities.
