Rojas (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday.
Rojas landed on the injured list Aug. 22 after picking up a right oblique strain. He didn't show any signs of rust in his return to action Sunday, tossing two scoreless frames while walking one and striking out one against Triple-A Syracuse.

Triple-A St. Paul placed Rojas on its 7-day injured list Aug. 22 due to a right oblique strain, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
While the 23-year-old lefty profiled as a potential candidate to join the Twins when the active roster expands to 28 men Tuesday, the oblique injury may take a potential promotion off the table for a bit. Before being optioned back to Triple-A earlier in August, Rojas compiled a 3.34 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB in 29.2 innings over 12 appearances (four starts) for Minnesota.

The Twins optioned Rojas to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.
The left-hander last pitched Sunday in Seattle and surrendered three earned runs over one inning. Rojas and his 3.34 ERA over 29.2 innings this season are returning to Triple-A to make room on the big-league roster for trade-acquisition Jeff Hoffman.

Rojas struck out four and scattered four hits and two walks over three scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Royals.
Rojas tossed four scoreless frames in a start against the Athletics in his last appearance over the weekend, but he shifted back to a relief role this week after Connor Prielipp (finger) returned from the injured list to fill the open spot in the rotation. Rojas, a 23-year-old lefty, mopped up after starter Joe Ryan covered the first six innings, and the former trimmed his ERA down to 2.51 for the season. Ryan is expected to be a sought-after commodity ahead of Monday's trade deadline, and if he ends up getting moved, Rojas could be first in line to join the Minnesota rotation.

Rojas pitched four scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out five batters.
Rojas made his fourth start of the season as an emergency replacement for Mike Paredes, who was a late scratch due to an oblique injury. Though there was no expectation that Rojas would go very deep after having thrown fewer than 50 pitches in each of his three outings since being recalled from Triple-A on July 9, the left-hander ended up hurling 56 pitches Saturday and lasted four frames, tying his longest big-league start of the campaign. Rojas didn't go long enough to qualify for the victory, but he certainly played a big part in Minnesota's win, limiting the A's to just two baserunners (on a single and a walk) and zero runs. Rojas has plenty of experience as a starter in the minors, and he's a candidate to move into the rotation if Paredes and/or Joe Ryan (arm) needs to miss time.

Rojas will serve as the Twins' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Rojas most recently worked one inning out of the bullpen Saturday against the Cubs, and he'll most likely be limited to between one and three frames Tuesday before giving way to a bulk reliever. The Twins cleared a spot on the big-league roster after Monday's game by optioning Woo-suk Go to Triple-A St. Paul, meaning the club will likely call up a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday's contest.
