Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.
The left-handed-hitting Rojas has now been out of the lineup both times the White Sox have faced a lefty since he returned from the injured list this past weekend, so he looks to be on the strong side of a platoon as he bounces back and forth between third base and second base. Miguel Vargas is at the hot corner and Lenyn Sosa is at the keystone for Thursday's series finale.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Reinstated, starting at third
Rotowire
Rojas (toe) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday versus the Astros.
Rojas has been sidelined since he fractured his right big toe in mid-March, but he's ready to make his debut for the White Sox after a three-game rehab assignment. The 30-year-old had an underwhelming .225/.304/.336 slash line with eight homers and 10 steals in 143 games in Seattle last year, but he inked a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Chicago in January and is expected to see regular action between second base and the hot corner now that he's healthy.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Cleared for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Rojas (toe) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Rojas' progress from a hairline fracture in his right big toe has been slow, but he's finally come along far enough to be cleared to participate in game action for the first time since suffering the injury in mid-March. The 30-year-old had been expected to serve as Chicago's primary second baseman before getting hurt and could still end up filling that role when activated from the injured list, but he offers the versatility to play multiple positions, if needed.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Not ready for rehab games yet
Rotowire
Rojas (toe) is not close to beginning a rehab assignment, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
The veteran infielder is working his way back from a hairline fracture in his right big toe.

Once healthy, Rojas is in line to serve as the White Sox's regular second baseman.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Likely out Opening Day
Rotowire
Rojas (toe) remains out of Chicago's spring lineup Sunday and is likely to begin the season on the injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The 30-year-old sustained a hairline fracture in his right big toe in mid-March, and it appears he won't have enough time to get healthy before Thursday's season opener. Once healthy, Rojas is expected to operate as the primary second baseman against right-handed pitching for the White Sox. Lenyn Sosa and Brooks Baldwin are the main candidates to fill in at the keystone in the meantime.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Hopes to be back on field soon
Rotowire
Rojas (toe) hopes to be back on the field in 3-to-4 days after working out and riding a stationary bike Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
It's not clear whether returning to a field means resuming baseball activities or playing in games. Rojas is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, but it's a pain tolerance issue so it's possible he will be able to avoid the injured list. If healthy, Rojas projects to be the White Sox's primary second baseman against right-handed pitching.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Recovering from big toe fracture
Rotowire
White Sox manager Will Venable said Monday that Rojas has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Rojas suffered the injury during Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rockies. Venable was unwilling to rule Rojas out for Opening Day, as the skipper described the injury as a pain-tolerance situation that the 30-year-old infielder might be able to play through. If Rojas begins the season on the injured list, the White Sox would have room on the roster for an extra infielder such as Brooks Baldwin, Bryan Ramos, Jacob Amaya or Brandon Drury.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Projected to start at second base
Rotowire
Rojas is expected to begin the regular season as the White Sox's second baseman, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Rojas joined the White Sox this winter and is one of the few established veterans who is projected to be on the Opening Day roster. While he's played the majority of his career at third base, he's also been roughly an average defensive second baseman. Rojas has also had a decent spring at the plate, maintaining a .304 batting average with two extra-base hits and two stolen bases across 23 at-bats.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: One-year pact with ChiSox
Rotowire
The White Sox agreed to terms with Rojas on a one-year contract Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
It's a good landing spot for playing time for Rojas, who should see close to everyday at-bats in Chicago between second base, third base and shortstop. The 30-year-old slashed just .225/.304/.336 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases across 474 plate appearances for Seattle in 2024. If Rojas bounces back offensively in 2025, he's a likely trade candidate at the deadline.
The Mariners non-tendered Rojas on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Rojas will enter free agency coming off a 2024 regular season in which he slashed .225/.304/.336 with 10 stolen bases, eight home runs and 31 RBI over 474 plate appearances. The 30-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of a lefty-hitting infielder.
