BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Josh Rojas has been on fire recently for the Seattle Mariners, stepping up to the plate in the leadoff spot with J.P. Crawford (oblique) on the injured list.
With his recent performance, Rojas has proven himself a valuable addition to any fantasy team. If you need a reliable infielder, Rojas could boost your team's depth and performance.
Since April 24 (his first game in the leadoff spot), Rojas has posted a .400/.467/.675 line with two long balls and two swiped bags. In this time frame, he also posted a strong 5:8 BB:K ratio with six runs and four RBI.

His underlying metrics are quite strong and suggest that the 29-year-old could be in store for a big summer. He is currently placed in the 99th percentile with a 49.3% sweet spot rate and the top 88th percentile with a .289 xBA.
Rojas will be given plenty of opportunities to tally counting stats batting in the leadoff spot, making him a solid addition in all standard leagues.
