Rojas went 2-for-2 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over Cleveland.
Despite coming off the bench Saturday, Rojas registered his second career four-RBI effort. He's looking to make a case for more playing time, hitting safely in each of his last three games since being recalled from the minor leagues. Through 91 major-league plate appearances, Rojas is still slashing a pedestrian .247/.281/.365 with two homers, 13 RBI, one stolen base and nine runs scored.

The Royals recalled Rojas from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.
Rojas has posted just a .556 OPS across 80 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he'll get the call to rejoin the big club to make up for the loss of Michael Massey (concussion). Rojas will likely serve primarily as bench depth while Tyler Tolbert receives the majority of starts at second base going forward.

The Royals optioned Rojas to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
Rojas will give up his spot on the active roster to infielder Maikel Garcia (hand), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Recalled from Triple-A when Garcia initially landed on the shelf June 23, Rojas appeared in 28 games during his latest stint in the majors, slashing .225/.257/.310 with one home run, one steal, seven RBI and five runs.

Rojas will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Rojas will be included in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, despite going just 1-for-10 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored over his prior four starts. He could see his playing time dry up in the near future, however, as Kyle Isbel (foot) returned from the injured list Sunday, and Bobby Witt (back) appears on track to be activated Tuesday.

Rojas will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Rojas will cover third base for the third time in the past four games and could be making a push past Nick Loftin on the depth chart as the top option at the position while Maikel Garcia (hand) remains on the shelf. Over his last five contests, Rojas has gone 6-for-17 with a double, two runs and an RBI, but he's slashing an unremarkable .237/.256/.368 overall since being promoted from Triple-A Omaha on June 23.

The Royals recalled Rojas from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old was up with the Royals for a few days in early June and will now get another chance in the majors since Maikel Garcia (hand) was placed on the injured list. Nick Loftin has been operating as Kansas City's primary third baseman with Garcia banged up, while Rojas is likely to fill a utility role while up in the majors.
