Josh Rojas Hitting Leadoff Against Dodgers
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas is starting at third base and is hitting leadoff on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May. Rojas didn't get the start on Opening Day on Thursday, with Evan Longoria starting at the hot corner instead against a left-handed pitcher. Longoria will be on the bench to start on Friday. Rojas figures to be on the strong side of a platoon at third base with Longo this year, giving the 28-year-old plenty of fantasy value in deep-mixed leagues while also being attractive to the D-backs and fantasy managers for his defensive versatility. He hit .275 (11-for-40) with three doubles, two RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases in 15 Cactus League games, and he's even more attractive at the top of Arizona's lineup.
